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 with 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. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed 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 the 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.

Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Switch for IBM Blade Center

Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc@cisco.com.

Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Switch for IBM Blade Center

The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter is designed for IBM BladeCenter environments. The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch is based on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family SAN switching technology, which integrates the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of switches and directors into a blade-switch architecture. The advanced architecture of the Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter, along with 4-Gb technology, provides outstanding performance between Bladeswitches and the rest of the Fibre Channel infrastructure.

The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter provides 4-Gb Fibre Channel performance to blade-server switching. It also provides network intelligence features such as virtual SANs (VSANs), quality of service (QoS), and N-port interface virtualization (NPIV). It also offers nondisruptive software upgrades and on-demand port activation and is the most complete embedded Fibre Channel switching available for the IBM BladeCenter, BladeCenter-T, and BladeCenter-H platforms.

The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter provides up to 20 nonblocking 1-, 2-, and 4-Gb Fibre Channel ports that are available in two configurations: 7 internal ports and 3 external ports, or 14 internal ports and 6 external ports. Each port provides line-rate performance up to 4-Gb without any performance loss for integrated features such as VSANs, QoS, or Network Address Translation (NAT). The Cisco MDS Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter supports up to 16 VSANs per blade switch.

Each external port on the Cisco MDS FC Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter also provides line-rate performance up to 4-Gb for Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) or additional device connectivity such as storage or host bus adapters (HBAs).

The Cisco NX-OS software provides role-based access control (RBAC) for management access of the Cisco Fibre Channel Bladeswitch for IBM BladeCenter command-line interface (CLI) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). For more information, see the Cisco 9000 Family Command Reference.

Power Supplies

The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports dual hot-swappable power supplies, each of which is capable of supplying sufficient power to the entire chassis should one power supply fail. The power supplies monitor their output voltage and provide status to the supervisor modules. To prevent the unexpected shutdown of an optional module, the power management software only allows a module to power up if adequate power is available.

The power supplies can be configured to be redundant or combined. By default, they are configured as redundant, so that if one fails, the remaining power supply can still power the entire system. For information about how to configure the power supplies, see the Cisco

Configuration Guide.

Fan Modules

The Cisco MDS 9513 Director has a front panel fan tray with 15 fans with an abrupt stop-to-fan rotation safety feature after power is disconnected or the fan tray is removed from the midplane. The Cisco MDS 9509 Director has a front panel fan module with nine fans and the Cisco MDS 9506 Director has a front panel fan module with six fans.

Sensors on the supervisor module monitor the internal air temperature. If the air temperature exceeds a preset lower-level threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages. If the air temperatures exceeds a preset higher-level threshold, the switch will shut down.

If one or more fans within the module fail, the Fan Status LED turns red and the module must be replaced. If the higher-level temperature threshold is not exceeded, the switch continues to run for five minutes after the fan module is removed. This allows you to swap out a fan module without having to bring the system down. For information on how to replace a fan module, see the

Installing Fan Modules” section on page 2-68.

The fan module has one status LED that indicates the following conditions:

• Green—Fan module is operating normally.

• Red—One or more fans failed. Fan module should be replaced.

“Removing and

• Off—Fan module is not properly seated in the chassis or power supply has failed.

Caution The Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches have internal temperature sensors that are capable of shutting

down the system if the temperature at different points within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds. To be effective, the temperature sensors require the presence of airflow; therefore, in the event a fan module is removed from the chassis, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches will be shut down after five minutes to prevent potentially undetectable overheating. However, the switches will shut down sooner if the higher-level temperature threshold is exceeded.

The Cisco MDS 9513 Director also has crossbar module fan trays located at the back of the chassis. There is one fan per crossbar module. There is one LED that provides operational status. shows the fan status LED on the Cisco MDS 9513 Director. To replace these fan modules, see the

“Removing and Installing Fan Modules” section on page 2-68.

Supervisor Modules

The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports two types of supervisor modules: Supervisor-1 and Supervisor-2 modules. Both the supervisor modules provide the control and management functions for the Cisco MDS 9500 Series. The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports two supervisor modules for redundancy. In the event of an internal component failure, the standby supervisor module takes over, if installed. This section discusses the following modules:

• Supervisor-2 Modules, page 1-17 (DS-X9530-SF2-K9)

Supervisor-2 Modules

The Cisco MDS 9500 Series offers redundant, hot-swappable, Supervisor-2 modules. (See Figure 1-12.) Supervisor-2 modules can be used in the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors in slots 5 and 6. Supervisor-2 modules must be used in slots 7 and 8 of the Cisco MDS 9513 Director.

Supervisor-2 modules provide an integrated crossbar switching fabric to connect all the switching modules when used in a Cisco MDS 9509 or 9506 Director. Single fabric configurations provide 720-Gbps full duplex speed with 80-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. Dual fabric configurations provide 1.4-Tbps speed with 160-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. This integrated crossbar switching fabric is disabled when a Supervisor-2 module is installed in a Cisco MDS 9513 Director. The Cisco MDS 9513 Director supports two external crossbar modules located at the rear of the chassis that handle this function. (For more information, see the

page 1-25.)

Control and Management

The Supervisor-2 modules provide the following control and management features:

• A redundant central arbiter that provides traffic control and access fairness.

• A nondisruptive restart of a single failing process on the same supervisor.

A service running on the Supervisor-2 module keeps track of the high availability policy of each process and issues a restart when a process fails. The type of restart issued is based on the process’s capability:

–

Warm or stateful (state is preserved)

–

Cold or stateless (state is not preserved)

• A nondisruptive switchover from the active Supervisor-2 to a redundant standby without loss of

traffic.

If the Supervisor-2 module has to be restarted, then the secondary Supervisor-2 (which is continuously monitoring the primary) takes over. Once a switchover has occurred and the failed Supervisor-2 has been replaced or restarted, operation does not switch back to the original primary Supervisor-2, unless it is forced to switch back or another failure occurs.

Processor

Port Interfaces

The Supervisor-2 module has a processor running at 1.4 GHz. It contains a PowerPC class processor and offers the following memory specifications:
