Switch Power Pack /B-Series Family

Overview

The HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch is the successor to the 4/32 SAN Switch, which shipped in January, 2005. The
4/32B SAN Switch offers an improved TCO because it consumes 20 percent less power, generates less heat, and requires
less cooling then the 4/32 SAN Switch. The HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch delivers excellent overall value and
investment protection as the foundation for a small SAN or as an edge switch in a larger core to edge enterprise SAN.
Whether incorporated into an expansive core fabric or tactically placed at the edge, this switch delivers the performance of
1,2, or 4 Gb technologies in a 1u footprint. The switch is available in three models:

HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch Power Pack with 32 active ports and value added software
HP StorageWorks 4/32B Full SAN Switch with 32 active ports

HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch with 16 active ports (Base)
An optional 8 port license scales the number of active ports to 24 or up to 32 ports.
Each switch variant has removable redundant power supplies/cooling units. These integrated POWER/FAN units reduce

overall Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) count, lower power dissipation, and reduce cooling requirements. The switch is ideal
for supporting medium to large corporate infrastructure implementations.

The 4/32B SAN Switch Power Pack includes the 4/32B SAN Switch (Full) with additional software: Fabric Watch, ISL
Trunking, Extended Fabric, and Performance Monitor. Power Pack software provides SAN administrators with the necessary
tools to monitor the health and performance of the network while insuring the highest levels of security, scalability, and
manageability.

Key Features and Benefits

Protects existing investments by providing 4 Gbit/sec technology with auto-sensing capabilities to recognize earlier 1

and 2 Gbit/sec devices

Supports full 4 Gbit/sec operations at distances up to 100 kilometers (or 500 kilometers at 1 Gbit/sec) for cost-

effective business continuance operations. Requires appropriate 4Gb SFPs.

Increases network performance with enhanced Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking, which enables a high-speed data path

up to 32 Gbit/sec

Utilizes Ports on Demand for fast, easy, and cost-effective scalability from 16 to 32 ports, in 8 port increments

Meets high-availability requirements with redundant, hot-pluggable components, non-disruptive software upgrades,

and hot code activation for a wide range of SAN configurations

Integrated Power/Fan unit reduces overall Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) count, lowers power dissipatation, and

reduces cooling requirements

Leverages intelligent B-series SAN management and monitoring tools to increase operational efficiency and maximize

SAN investments

Services

Simplifies enterprise SAN deployment by combining higher edge switch port density with
exceptional scalability, performance and reliability
Delivers 16, 24, or 32-ports in a 1U enclosure
Meets enterprise level availability requirements with redundant, hot pluggable components,
no-single-points-of-failure within the switch
Provides 1 Gb, 2 Gb, and 4Gb/s* performance
Employs optional Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking to provide a high-speed data path
between switches which enables a high speed data path between 4Gb/s switches up to 32
Gbit/sec

* Full 4Gb/s end to end storage performance requires 4 Gb/s HBAs, 4Gb/s controllers, and 4Gb/s
switches. 4Gb/s ISL performance can be obtained between two 4Gb/s switches.

Frame Filtering

Advanced Zoning

Web Tools

An ASIC based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to
"view" the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables
advanced capabilities such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring.

WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple
administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical
fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.

WebTools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor
and manage SAN fabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a
standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.

Fabric Manager

Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults and automatically alert
network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN
fabric elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and
environmental parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance
measurement. Each switch in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.

This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics from a SID
(Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID), so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently.
Plus, Advanced Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot
spots within the fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall balanced performance.

Extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area
Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to four E-ports
to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 4Gb switch needs its own license.
The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 32Gb)
when routing connections between 4G switches. Connections are load-balanced across the
individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.

Fabric Manager is a highly scalable, Java-based application that manages multiple switches and
multiple fabrics (up to eight) in real time, helping SAN administrators with SAN configuration,
monitoring, dynamic provisioning, and daily management. SAN administrators gain rapid access to
critical SAN information across multiple personality fabrics, including both Fabric OS SANs and
enhanced Secure Fabric OS SANs.

Secure Fabric OS

Secure Fabric OS™ is available only on the B-Series platform and is the only solution that
provides protection for both management access and switch-to-switch authentication. This
comprehensive security solution for SAN fabrics provides policy-based security protection for more
predictable change management, assured configuration integrity and reduced risk of downtime.
Secure Fabric OS protects the network by using the strongest, enterprise-class security methods
available, including digital certificates and digital signatures, multiple levels of password protection,
strong password encryption and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based authentication, and 128-bit
encryption of the switch's private key used for digital signatures. With its flexible design, Secure
Fabric OS enables organizations to customize SAN security to meet specific policy requirements.
In addition, Secure Fabric OS works in conjunction with Advanced Zoning to further secure access
to the SAN, simplify storage management, and reduce provisioning time.
