1 Introduction
The HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch is a single-wide interconnect module for HP BladeSystem c-Class
enclosures that enables a server blade with an HP Smart Array 6Gb SAS Controller to communicate
with external SAS storage enclosures and tape devices. Its 6Gb SAS technology delivers high
performance, with high data bandwidth up to 600 MB/s per physical link, and is fully compatible
with 3G SAS, 3G SATA, and 1.5G SATA technology. Both dual-port SAS and single-port SATA
disk drive interconnections are supported, offering deployment flexibility.
The HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch is a key component in HP External SAS Storage for HP BladeSystem
Solutions.
• For information about devices included in the BladeSystem portfolio, including c-Class
enclosures, ProLiant server blades, Smart Array SAS controllers, and this 6Gb SAS BL Switch,
see the HP BladeSystem website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem).
• For information about BladeSystem solutions using this switch, see the HP BladeSystem
Deployment Guide for Solutions with 6Gb SAS BL Switches and External SAS Storage
Enclosures, available on the HP Support Center website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc).
Features
Simplified management:
• BladeSystem c-Class enclosures and their blade devices centralize control and reduce storage
management cost.
• The HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager application, used for zoning, is embedded in the switch
firmware.
Enterprise-class performance:
• The HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch is fully supported in the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure
infrastructure and is compatible with any combination of HP BladeSystem c-Class server blades.
• An existing switch can be installed or replaced without having to power down the BladeSystem
enclosure.
• Configuration and management is performed through the embedded Virtual SAS Manager
(VSM) utility. The VSM is available in both a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a Command
Line Interface (CLI).
High availability when using a pair of switches in the same interconnect row of the BladeSystem
c-Class enclosure:
• The inclusion of a redundant SAS BL Switch and SAS Smart Array Controller, along with dual
I/O modules in the external storage enclosures and dual-ported disk drives, ensures that the
system can tolerate a component or path failure and maintain access to the storage.
• Redundant power supplies and redundant cooling fans within the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure
provide protection against enclosure malfunction.
• Redundant firmware images and configuration settings provide protection against switch or
port malfunctions.
Features 5
Supported devices
The HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch supports the following types of devices:
• “Shared SAS storage enclosures (P2000 G3 SAS MSA arrays)” (page 6)
• “Zoned SAS storage enclosures (MDS600, D6000, and D2600/D2700 drive enclosures)”
(page 6)
• “Tape devices” (page 7)
For information about cabling and configuring the switch and any attached devices, see “Connecting
cables to the switch” (page 15).
Shared SAS storage enclosures (P2000 G3 SAS MSA arrays)
When shared SAS storage enclosures are attached to the switch:
• The storage enclosure includes an embedded RAID array controller, which is used to configure
the logical storage units (LUNs). An example of a shared SAS storage enclosure is the HP
P2000 G3 SAS MSA Array System.
• The BladeSystem server blade must have a RAID array controller installed, which communicates
with the RAID array controller in the storage enclosure, but it is not used for its RAID
configuration capabilities.
• The SAS BL Switch and the connected SAS storage are configured using switch-port zone
groups. The entire storage enclosure connected to that switch port is visible to all c-Class
enclosure blade ports (server bays) granted access to the zone group that includes that switch
port.
NOTE: Unused switch ports can be included in a zone group, to help plan for future growth.
• Server bays that need access to an external storage enclosure must be assigned the appropriate
zone group.
◦ A server bay can be assigned multiple zone groups.
◦ A switch-port zone group can be assigned to more than one server bay.
◦ Unpopulated server bays can be assigned a zone group.
• Disk drives in the storage enclosure are configured into logical units (LUNs) using a
storage-enclosure based utility such as the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU). Access or
restrictions to the LUNs is controlled through mappings or other presentation methods, which
grant specific server bays access to specific LUNs.
Zoned SAS storage enclosures (MDS600, D6000, and D2600/D2700 drive enclosures)
When zoned SAS storage enclosures are attached to the switch:
• The storage enclosure includes I/O modules (does not include a RAID array controller).
Examples of zoned SAS storage enclosures are the HP MDS600, HP D6000, and HP D2000
(D2600/D2700).
• The BladeSystem server blade must have a RAID array controller installed, and is used for its
6 Introduction
NOTE: The HP MDS6000 is a 3G device; when connected to the 6G SAS BL Switch, all
data traffic will be reduced to 3G.
RAID configuration capabilities.
• The SAS BL Switch and the connected SAS storage are configured using drive bay zone
groups. The group of drive bays is presented to the c-Class enclosure blade port (server bay)
as if it was directly connected to that server bay.
NOTE: Unpopulated drive bays in the storage enclosure can be included in a zone group,
to help plan for future growth.
• The server bay that needs access to drive bays must be assigned to the appropriate zone
group.
◦ A server bay can be assigned multiple zone groups.
◦ A drive-bay zone group can be assigned to only one server bay.
◦ Unpopulated server bays can be assigned zone groups.
• Disk drives in the storage enclosure are configured into logical units (LUNs) using host-based
configuration utilities such as HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU).
Tape devices
When tape devices are attached to the switch:
• The tape device is configured using switch port zone groups. The entire tape device connected
to that switch port is presented to all c-Class enclosure blade ports (server bays) granted access
to the zone group.
NOTE: Unused switch ports can be included in a zone group, to help plan for future growth.
• Server bays that need access to tape devices must be assigned the appropriate zone group.
◦ A server bay can be assigned multiple zone groups.
◦ A switch-port zone group can be assigned to more than one server bay.
◦ Unpopulated server bays can be assigned to a zone group.

In addition to being available on the BladeSystem Technical Resources page, these documents
are also available on 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Support Center website
nl
(http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc).
Planning the configuration
For both single- and dual-domain deployments, a variety of cabling and configuration strategies
are available. Consider the server blades, switches, external storage enclosures, and external
backup devices in your deployment. Develop plans for cabling the external devices and choose
the appropriate zoning method (switch port or drive bay) to control access to the storage.
Getting started 9
For assistance, HP strongly recommends using the HP BladeSystem Deployment Guide for Solutions
with 6Gb SAS BL Switches and External SAS Storage Enclosures. The deployment guide provides
guidelines, instructions, and configuration examples for solutions centered around an HP
BladeSystem c-Class enclosure with server blades, SAS BL switches, SAS controller cards, and
external SAS storage enclosures.
Selecting the interconnect bay
The HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch is supported for use in the following c-Class enclosure interconnect
bays:
c7000
1
When using P721m controllers, the 6Gb SAS BL Switch cannot be installed in c7000 interconnect bays 3 and 4. (The
P721m controller cannot be installed in server expansion slot 1, which maps to interconnect bays 3 and 4.)
Each interconnect bay row in an HP BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 enclosure maps to servers
via the server expansion slot in which the HP Smart Array controller card is installed.
Before installing the 6Gb SAS BL Switch in the c-Class enclosure, confirm that the controller and
the switch are installed in server expansion slots and enclosure interconnect bays that map to one
another.

NOTE: Different controller models are required for the different types of external storage or
backup devices being connected to the switch, and these different controller models may be limited
for installation in specific expansion slots which, in turn, may limit which interconnect bays that
the switch can be installed in. For example, when using the P721m controller, because the P721m
controller can only be installed in server expansion slot 2, switches in these environments can only
be installed in c3000 interconnect bays 3 and 4 or c7000 interconnect bays 5, 6, 7, and 8.
For information about supported SAS controllers, see the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch QuickSpecs.
For information about mappings, see user documents for your BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model.
The following tables list the mappings between server expansion slots and BladeSystem enclosure
interconnect bays. For information about which expansion slots are supported for use with your
controller model, see the user documents for the controller.

* When using c7000 enclosures and P721m controllers, the 6Gb SAS BL Switch can be installed only in c7000
interconnect bays 5, 6, 7, and 8, because the P721m controller cannot be installed in server expansion slot 1, which
maps to c7000 interconnect bays 3 and 4.
For more information about mappings, see the HP BladeSystem Deployment Guide for Solutions
with 6Gb SAS BL Switches and External SAS Storage Enclosures and user documents for your
BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model. For information about supported SAS controllers, see the
6Gb SAS BL Switch QuickSpecs.
Installing the switch
NOTE:
• The SAS BL Switch can be hot-installed in an operational BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
• Make sure that the Smart Array SAS Controllers are installed in server expansion slots that
map to the selected BladeSystem c-Class enclosure interconnect bay.
• The SAS BL Switch does not have a power on/off button. Power is automatically applied or
removed when the switch is installed or removed from the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
Alternatively, power can be applied or removed through the Onboard Administrator
application.
• Connect SAS cables to external storage enclosures only after confirming that the desired
firmware version is installed on the switch.
Installing the switch 11
1. Remove the air baffle from the selected interconnect bay.
2. Prepare the switch.
3. Install the switch in the open interconnect bay.
When installed in an operational enclosure, the switch automatically powers up and performs
a series of Power On Self Tests before being operational.
NOTE: Do not connect cables to the switch at this time. HP recommends connecting cables
only after confirming that the switch is operational and has the desired, supported version of
firmware installed.
12 Installation procedures
4. Note the following during startup:
• All eight switch Link LEDs will blink while the switch and the VSM software are starting
up.
• Startup time is approximately five minutes. If startup is longer than five minutes, confirm
that a supported version of Onboard Administrator is installed on the system.
• After the switch and the VSM software have started up successfully, the switch Health LED
will be solid green.
• If the Health LED is amber or off, remove the switch from the BladeSystem enclosure
Interconnect Bay and reinstall it, pressing firmly on the switch and its locking latch handle
to ensure it is seated properly. If trouble persists, see the "Troubleshooting" section of the
HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide.
For more information about switch LED patterns, see “Component identification” (page 8).
Accessing the switch
The switch can be accessed, configured, and managed through the Onboard Administrator (OA)
and Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) applications.
To access VSM:
1. Access OA.
NOTE: The minimum OA version offering support for the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch is 3.10.
2. In the OA Systems and Devices tree, expand the Interconnect Bays, and select the HP 6Gb
SAS BL Switch.
3. After selecting the SAS switch to manage, click Management Console and wait a few moments
for the VSM application to open.
For more information about accessing and using the VSM, see the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager
User Guide, available on the 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Support Center website
nl
(http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc.
Updating switch firmware
HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch firmware updates can be performed using the Smart Update Firmware
DVD ISO or the HP Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) utility.
Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO and Firmware Release Sets— These tools deliver tested, compatible
sets of firmware for components included in BladeSystem solutions and are designed to help
manage firmware interdependencies between HP BladeSystem Components. These tools use
executable Smart Component firmware packages. For information about updating firmware using
the Smart Update Firmware DVD or an individual Smart Component package, see the HP
BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance page
nl
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class.html).
HP Virtual SAS Manager utility—This utility is embedded in the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch firmware
and is the software application used to create hardware-based zone groups to control access to
external SAS storage. The VSM uses an image firmware file (.img). For information about the VSM,
see the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide, available on the 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of
the HP Support Center website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc).
Accessing the switch 13
IMPORTANT:
• Before updating switch firmware, HP strongly recommends backing up the existing configuration
for safekeeping. For more information, see the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide,
available on the 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Support Center website (http://
www.hp.com/go/hpsc).
• When two HP 6Gb SAS BL Switches are installed in the same row of an enclosure, make sure
that they are running the same firmware version.
• In single-domain configurations, after the switch is updated, open a maintenance window to
restart the switch and activate the new firmware.
• In dual-domain configurations, if both switches have been updated, restart the active switch
and wait for it to complete its power on sequence and I/O to resume before restarting the
passive switch.
CAUTION: Because it can be difficult to confirm when the transition of I/O between the
switches is complete, HP strongly recommends opening a maintenance window to perform
firmware updates in dual-domain environments.
To update switch firmware:
1. Record the firmware version that is currently-installed on the switch.
The installed firmware version is displayed in the VSM near the center of the HP 6G Virtual
SAS Manager banner. Access the VSM and make note of the firmware version installed on
each SAS BL Switch in the BladeSystem enclosure.
2. Record the latest available firmware version.
Firmware can be obtained from several HP websites, including:
• HP Support Center website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc)
This Support site includes download pages for all HP products. The HP 6Gb SAS BL
Switch is listed in the bladesystem section.
• HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance page:
nl
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class.html
This BladeSystem site provides links to BladeSystem Firmware Release Sets and the HP
Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO, which include tested, compatible sets of firmware for
components included in BladeSystem solutions and are designed to help manage firmware
inter-dependencies between HP BladeSystem c-Class components. Select the Compatibility
tab to view version information and download firmware for individual components.
3. If needed, update firmware on the switches to the latest version. For instructions, see the HP
6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide.
14 Installation procedures
Connecting cables to the switch
After confirming that the desired firmware is installed on the switch, connect SAS cables between
the switch and the external SAS storage enclosures or external backup devices. Per your
configuration plan, connect the external devices to switch ports that the desired servers will be
able to access. (See “Getting started” (page 9) and “Planning the configuration” (page 9).)
The 6Gb SAS BL Switch uses SAS cables with mini-SAS universal connectors. For a list of supported
cables, see the SAS BL Switch QuickSpecs.
IMPORTANT: Confirm that firmware installed on the external SAS devices is supported for use
with the firmware installed on the switch. Consult the QuickSpecs for the switch and all attached
external devices and confirm that compatible, supported versions of firmware are installed.
Cabling best practices
• In single-domain configurations (and when using single-port drives), be sure to connect the
cable from the switch to the primary controller or I/O module in the storage enclosure.
• In MDS600 and D6000 high-performance configurations with two cable connections from
the same MDS600/D6000 I/O module to the same 6Gb BL SAS Switch, ensure that both
cables from storage enclosure connect to one of the following pairs of switch ports: 1/2; 3/4;
5/6; or 7/8.
• In high-availability, dual-domain configurations with paired switches, redundant controllers
or I/O modules, and dual-ported SAS disk drives, connect cables from the redundant modules
in the storage enclosure to the same switch port on the paired switches. For example, connect
the storage enclosure to port 2 on each switch. This parallel cabling strategy ensures easier
record-keeping, troubleshooting, and support.
• Ensure that cabling in the back of the rack system does not interfere with system operation or
maintenance. Bind cables loosely with cable ties and route the excess out of the way, along
the side of the rack. When cables are tied together and routed down the side of the rack,
system components and indicators are easily visible and accessible.
• Attach a label near both ends of each cable to identify the device connected to that cable.
Include the device, device name, port, or other useful information.
• Use colored markers or labels to color-code both ends of each cable and help you visually
identify a particular cable without having to read or locate the label.
• Use the shortest possible cable between devices. Shorter cables are easier to manage and
route along the back of the rack. In addition, shorter cables reduce the possibility of signal
attenuation that can occur over longer distances.
IMPORTANT: External storage enclosures are tested and approved for use with specific
cable lengths. Before purchasing and connecting SAS cables to external storage enclosures,
check the QuickSpecs for the device and make sure that cables do not exceed the maximum
supported length.

Configuring the switch
Key configuration tasks include:
1. Entering switch parameters. (Enabling or disabling Multi-initiator mode.)
2. Creating zone groups.
• Switch-port zone groups: For shared SAS storage enclosures (P2000 G3 SAS MSA) and
tape libraries.
• Drive-bay zone groups: For zoned SAS storage enclosures (D6000, MDS600, and
D2600/D2700).
3. Assigning zone groups to servers (c-Class enclosure device bays).
4. Capturing the configuration for safekeeping. HP strongly recommends this step, especially in
single-domain configurations.
The switch is configured using the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) application. For more
information on zoning and configuration tasks, see the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide,
available on the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Support Center website

HP Onboard Administrator overview
HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure management processor, subsystem,
and firmware base used to support the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures and the managed
devices contained within the enclosure.
Onboard Administrator provides a single point from which to view the entire HP BladeSystem
c-Class environment and perform basic management tasks on BladeSystem devices, including
server blades and switches installed in the enclosure. Using pre-configured hardware parameters,
OA performs initial configuration steps for the enclosure, allows for run-time management and
configuration of the enclosure components, and informs you of problems within the enclosure
through e-mail, SNMP, or the Insight Display For more Information about using OA, see the HP
BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
Onboard Administrator can be used to access the HP Virtual SAS Manager application on switches
installed in the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
The following image shows the Rack Topology view of the front and rear of a c7000 enclosure,
with the primary navigation tree on the left-side of the display. As shown in this example, one
half-height server blade is installed in device bays 1, and four SAS BL switches are installed in

HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager overview
HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) is embedded in the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch firmware and is
the software application used to create hardware-based zone groups to control access to external
SAS storage enclosures and tape devices. Servers in the c-Class enclosure are then granted access
to these zone groups, allowing them to access the storage.
Available in both a graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (CLI), VSM offers
the following key tasks:
• Configure switch parameters
• Create zone groups
• Assign zone groups to servers
• Reset the switch
• Update firmware
For information on the VSM, see its online help and the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide,
available on the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Support Center website
nl
(http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc.
The following image shows an example page of the VSM.
IMPORTANT: Storage is configured, formatted, and partitioned using software utilities such as
the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU), HP P2000 G3 MSA System Storage Management Utility
(SMU), and Microsoft Disk Manager. Depending on your operating system environment and type
of storage enclosures (shared SAS or zoned SAS), the configuration tools used may differ. For
more information, see the QuickSpecs for the storage enclosure.
20 Supported software tools
5 Firmware
As part of a routine system maintenance program, periodically check firmware versions installed
on all devices in your solution, including the SAS BL Switch. Updated firmware may include
additional features and functions, performance enhancements, support for newly released hardware,
or fixes to known issues.
HP SAS BL Switch firmware updates can be performed using the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD
or the HP Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) utility.
• Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO and Firmware Release Sets— These tools deliver tested,
compatible sets of firmware for components included in BladeSystem solutions and are designed
to help manage firmware interdependencies between HP BladeSystem Components. These
tools use executable SmartComponent firmware packages. For information about updating
firmware using the Smart Update Firmware DVD or an individual SmartComponent package,
see the HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance page
nl
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class.html).
• HP Virtual SAS Manager utility—This utility is embedded in the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch firmware
and is the software application used to create hardware-based zone groups to control access
to external SAS storage. The VSM uses an image firmware file (.img). For information about
the VSM, see the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide.
IMPORTANT:
• When two HP 6Gb SAS BL Switches are installed in the same row of an enclosure, make sure
that they are running the same firmware version.
• Before updating switch firmware, HP strongly recommends backing up the configuration for
safekeeping. For more information, see the HP Virtual SAS Manager User Guide, available
on the 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Support Center website (http://www.hp.com/go/
hpsc).
• Regardless of firmware updating method, HP strongly recommends that firmware updates be
performed during a scheduled maintenance window (single-domain and dual-domain
deployments).

8 Electrostatic discharge
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up
the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may
damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life
expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling
or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both
feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized
reseller install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized
reseller.

Federal Communications Commission notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum.
Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended
function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related
peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial
environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes
to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating
instructions for the user.
FCC rating label
The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B
devices have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on
