About this guide
1Overview
The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class (referred to in the rest of this manual as the
8Gb SAN Switch) is a Fibre Channel (FC) switch that supports link speeds of up to 8 Gbps. The 8Gb
SAN Switch can operate in a fabric containing multiple switches or as the only switch in a fabric.
NOTE:
In this document, the Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch refers to those Brocade FC switch modules compatible
with the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure only.
This chapter provides the following information:
•

• Supported SFP transceiver options,page17
8Gb SAN Switch features
The 8Gb SAN Switch provides the following features:
• Fully integrated, embedded FC SAN d esign that connects directly to the HP BladeSystem c-Class
enclosure midplane
• Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD), which automatically detects port connections, assigns port
licenses, and enables ports
• Easy-to-manage HP Storage Essentials Systems Insight Manager support
• Full compatibility with HP StorageWorks B-Series switches and Brocade fabrics
• Sixteen internal 1/2/4/8 Gbps auto-sensing Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFPs) with the
following characteristics:
• Independent automatic negotiation to the highest common speed for each server FC port
connected to the switch
•Universalself-configuring ports, which are capable of becoming F_Ports (fabric enabled)
• Eight external 1/2/4/8 Gbps FC SFP ports, with the following characteristics:
• Automatic negotiation to the highest common speed of all devices connected to the port
• Port-interface-compatible SFP transceivers, both short-wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength
(LWL)
•Universalself-configuring ports, which are capable of becoming F_Ports, FL_Ports (fabric
loop enabled), or E_Ports (expansion ports)
• Heterogeneous support for mixed storage fabrics
• Power supplied a nd controlled by the BladeSystem enclosure
• Identification to HP chassis management with HP specified SEEPROMs
• Hot-swap capability
• Compatibility with redundant and dual redundant switch configurations in c-Class BladeSystem
• Hot code activation
• Real-time clock
• SFP port m onitoring

Overview
NOTE:
Refer to Interpreting LED activity, page 34 for complete information on 8Gb SAN Switch LEDs.
Internal ports s ummary
Sixteen logical internal ports (numbered 1 through 16) connect sequentially to server bays 1 through 16
with the enclosure midplane. Ser ver bay 1 is connected to Switch Port 1, Server bay 2 is connected to
Switch port 2, and so forth.
8Gb SAN Switch redundancy
The HP BladeSystem c-Class was engineered as a no-single-point-of-failure bladed solution. Attributes that
contribute to switch redundancy include:
• Redundant power and cooling
• Redundant HP Onboard Administrator (OA) to ensure management access to the switch
NOTE:
The HP Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management module used to support and manage the HP
BladeSystem c-Class and a l l managed devices used in the enclosure.
8Gb SAN Switch licensing
The 8Gb SAN Switch integrates one of three license options that complement existing HP product lines.
Some 8Gb SAN Switch models ship with licenses that place limits on the number of domains that can be
used. Mod els and their specificlicensesareasfollows:
• Brocade 8/12 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class, base, integrating 12 active ports (in any
