THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply wit h the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Th is equipment generates, uses, and can radi ate radio- frequen c y ener gy and, if not instal led and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from th e television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product. The Cisco implementation of TCP header compression is an adaptation of a program developed by the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) as

Opening a TAC Case

The online TAC Case Open Tool (http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen) is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (Your network is minimally impai red or you require product information). After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using these recommendations, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer.

For P1 or P2 cases (your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers: Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia : 1 800 805 227)

EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55 USA: 1 800 553-2447

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to sa tisfactory levels.

CHA P TER

Product Overview

The Cisco MDS 9216 Multilayer Fabric Switch supports storage area network (SAN) applications. It provides scalability, multi-transport capability, security and an easy way to manage enterprise SANs. The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch shares a consistent architecture with the Cisco MDS 9500 Series of multilayer directo rs, making it an intelligent and flexible fabric switch.

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch provides the following features:

• A supervisor module

• A 16-port or 32-port switching module with 1 Gbps / 2 Gbps auto-sensing

Fibre Channel (FC) ports, supporting up to 48 total ports

• An interface module providing local and remote management interfaces for

the supervisor module

• Modular, hot-swappable 8-port IP Storage Services module (IPS module)

78-16165-01

• Redundant power supplies, fan modules, and system cl ocks

• Power and cooling management and environmental monitoring

• Port interfaces that support field-replaceable, hot-swappable small form

factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers

For information about how to co nf igu re the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide.

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch has a 2-slot chassis that includes a non-removable supervisor module with an integrated 16-port switching module, and a second slot for either a 16-port or 32-port switching module or an IPS module (see

Figure 1-1). It supports dual power supplies and a removable fan module.

Slot 1 contains the supervisor module with its integrated 16-port switching module. The supervisor module provides switching and local and remote management. Above Slot 1 is the interface module, which provides the local and remote management interfaces for the supervisor module.

Slot 2 is reserved for an additional hot-swappable 16-port or 32-port switching module or an 8-port IPS module.

–

–

Hot-swappable IP Services module (IPS) that pro vides FCIP services and iSCSI services capability

–

Hot-swappable Advanced Services Module (ASM) that provides virtualization services

• T wo po wer supplies t hat are redundant by def ault and can be co nfigured to be

combinant if desired.

• Redundant, self-monitoring clock modules for system clock generation.

Note The clock modules in the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch have a

field-measured mean time between failures (MTBF) of approximately 3.2 million hours or 365 years. In the unlik ely ev ent of a clock module failure, the system generates an error message and a switchover from one clock module to the other occurs, causing the system to reset automatically. These clock modules are not hot swappable, so system downtime must be scheduled to replace a failed clock module.

Power Supplies

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch supports dual hot swappable 845 Watt AC power supplies, each of which can supply sufficient power to the entire chassis should one power supply fail. The power supplies monitor their output voltage and provide status to the supervisor-fabric module. To prevent the unexpected shutdown of an optional module, power management software only all ows a module to power up if adequate power is available.
