Overview
The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel core Fabric Switch that delivers high availability in a modular 14U
enclosure, providing a foundation for an enterprise SAN that integrates seamlessly into an always-on Internet infrastructure. Scaling
from 32-ports to 128-ports, the dual 64-port Core Switch 2/64 introduces new functionality via third-generation ASIC, which
enables deployment of advanced fabric services via the Fabric OS.
The Core Switch 2/64 offers complete hardware redundancy with hot swap components. It comes with Advanced Zoning, and Web
Tools. The Core Switch 2/64 can seamlessly connect to either 1 Gb or 2 Gb SAN devices by auto-sensing and speed-matching the
Fibre Channel devices attached to it on a port-by-port basis. The Power Pack provides the SAN administrator with the tools to
monitor the health and performance of the network. The Power Pack is available pre-configured on the switch or as an upgrade.
The Power Pack provides the SAN administrator with the necessary tools to monitor the health and performance of the network, while
also ensuring the highest levels of security, scalability and manageability. Available pre-configured on the switch or as an upgrade,
Power Pack also provides the foundation for integration into HP OpenView Storage Area Manager (SAM), enabling infrastructure
management through a single-pane-of-glass. The Power Pack tools can be ordered separately, as well.

An ASIC based capability in the 2 Gb family of SAN switches 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.
In the 2Gb generation of switches, WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware
providing the same simple administration that was previously only enforced with software. Administrators
can organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside
the Zone.

Enables organizations to monitor and manage single Fibre Channel switches and small 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 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 provides the ability to monitor and watch specific fabric metrics from a SID
(Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID), creating a method to be able to fine-tune and scale your 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.
Remote switch fabric functions with the aid of a bridging device or network bridge. The network bridge
supports both Fibre Channel physical interfaces as well as secondary non-Fibre Channel FCIP physical
interface.
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 2 Gb switch needs its own license. The
switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 8 Gb) when routing
connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which
comprise the logical trunk group. Each 8-port switch can have a total of two separate 4-port Trunk
groups.
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.

NOTE: NOTE:
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.
