17Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Overview

Director Description

The director is a second-generation, 64-port product that provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a SAN environment. Directors are managed and controlled through an High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) appliance with HAFM and Director 2/64 Element Manager installed. The HAFM appliance is a 1U rack-mount appliance that provides a central point of control for up to 48 directors and/or edge switches.

Multiple directors and the HAFM appliance communicate through the customer’s local area network (LAN).

Features

Features of the Director 2/64 include:

■ Scalable from 32 to 64 User ports (with optional UPM 2 Gb add-on)

■ 100% dynamic non-blocking, cut through switching with congestion queuing

■ Online error detection, error isolation, and error recovery

■ Redundant, hot-pluggable components

■ Full duplex 200 MB/sec per port performance

■ Less than 2-µs average switch latency

■ 100-km distance support (60 buffers), with use of repeaters

■ Small form factor, hot-pluggable optical transceivers, auto configure G_ports

■ Combination short-wave or long-wave laser transceivers

■ Redundant power supplies and fan modules

■ Online product repair for Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)

■ Periodic health check and enhanced system monitoring

■ Non-disruptive firmware load and update

18 Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Director Management

The director is managed and controlled through:

■ The HAFM application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the

HAFM appliance and provides a single point of management for all directors, and a launching point for the Director 2/64 Element Manager.

■ Simple network management protocol (SNMP). A SNMP agent is

implemented through the HAFM application that allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to access director management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign internet protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. Refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches for more information.

■ The Internet using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface installed on

the director. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the director, but does not offer all the capabilities of the Director 2/64 Element Manager. Administrators launch the EWS interface from a remote PC by entering the director’s IP address as the internet URL, then entering a user name and password at a login screen. The PC browser then becomes a management console.

Overview

Note: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is

“operator.” The default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform maintenance tasks, or perform other options is “Administrator.” The default password for both user names is “password.”

■ The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many

HAFM and Element Manager functions while entering commands during a telnet session with the director. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of directors using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users through tasks. Refer to the HP StorageWorks CLI Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches for more information.

■ A customer-supplied PC or UNIX-based platform with the HAFM appliance

and client HAFM and Director Element Manager installed.

■ A customer-supplied remote workstation communicating with the HAFM

appliance through a corporate intranet.

19Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Overview

■ A customer-supplied PC platform with a network connection to the EWS

interface installed on the director.

■ A customer-supplied server platform communicating with the switch through

a LAN or corporate intranet. The HAFM applications are ordered and installed on the server by the customer.

Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability

The director provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features:

■ Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on director FRUs and the front bezel that

provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.

■ System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs,

threshold alert logs, and hardware logs that display director, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at the HAFM appliance, remote workstation, or EWS.

■ Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port

diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and Fibre Channel (FC) wrap tests). The FC wrap test applies only when the director is configured to operate in FICON management style.

■ An internal modem for use by support personnel to dial in to the HAFM

appliance for event notification and to perform remote diagnostics.

■ Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or

administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the HAFM appliance.

Note: The call-home feature is not available through the EWS interface.

■ An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the director (port access is

password-protected) that enables installation or service personnel to change the director’s internet protocol (IP) address, subnet mask, and gateway address.

■ Redundant FRUs—logic cards, power supplies, and cooling fans—that are

removed or replaced without disrupting director or Fibre Channel link operation.

20 Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Overview

■ A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs

without tools or equipment.

■ Concurrent port maintenance—UPM cards are added or replaced and

fiber-optic cables are attached to ports without interrupting other ports or director operation.

■ Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port, FRU, or

director in a multi-switch environment. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When FRU beaconing is enabled, the amber (service required) LED on the FRU flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled, the system error indicator on the front bezel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port, FRU, or director operation.

■ Data collection through the Element Manager on the HAFM appliance to help

isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.

■ Status monitoring of redundant FRUs and alternate Fibre Channel data paths

to ensure continued director availability in case of failover. The HAFM application queries the status of each backup FRU daily. A backup FRU failure is indicated by an illuminated amber LED.

■ SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance management information base

(MIB) Version 3.1, that runs on the HAFM appliance. Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured through the HAFM application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.

■ SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version

1.1), transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC 1213), or a product-specific MIB that runs on each director. Up to six authorized management workstations can be configured through the Element Manager on the HAFM appliance to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.

Overview

Zoning

The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other.

Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports (F_Ports). A zone member is specified by the port number to which a device is attached, or by the eight-byte (16-digit) World Wide Name (WWN) assigned to the host bus adapter (HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device can belong to multiple zones.

Caution: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the director

fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

In Open Fabric mode, only zoning by WWN is supported. Zoning by port numbers is not supported.

Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled (activated) or disabled across all directors and edge switches in a multi-switch fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time.

Multi-Switch Fabrics

A Fibre Channel topology that consists of one or more interconnected directors or switch elements is called a fabric. Operational software provides the ability to interconnect directors (through expansion port (E_Port) connections) to form a multi-switch fabric. The data transmission path through the fabric is typically determined by fabric elements and is user-transparent. Subject to zoning restrictions, devices attached to any interconnected director can communicate with each other through the fabric.

Because a multi-switch fabric is typically complex, maintenance personnel should be aware that several factors can degrade fabric performance or cause connectivity failures. These factors include:

22 Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Overview

■ Domain ID assignment—Each director in a fabric is identified by a unique

domain ID that ranges from 1 through 31. A domain ID of 0 is invalid. If two operational fabrics join, they determine if any domain ID conflicts exist between the fabrics. If one or more conflicts exist, the E_Ports that form the interswitch link (ISL) segment to prevent the fabrics from joining.

■ Zoning—In a multi-switch fabric is configured on a fabric-wide basis, and a

change to the zoning configuration is applied to all directors and switch elements in the fabric. To ensure zoning is consistent across a fabric, the following rules are enforced when two fabrics (zoned or unzoned) join:

— Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B unzoned—The fabrics join

successfully, and the resulting fabric remains unzoned.

— Fabric A zoned and Fabric B unzoned—The fabrics join successfully,

and fabric B automatically inherits the zoning configuration from fabric A.

— Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B zoned—The fabrics join successfully,

and fabric A automatically inherits the zoning configuration from fabric B.

— Fabric A zoned and Fabric B zoned—The fabrics join successfully only

if the zone configurations can be merged. If the fabrics cannot join, the connecting E_Ports segment and the fabrics remain independent.

Zone configurations for two fabrics are compatible (the zones can join) if the active zone set name is identical for each fabric, and if zones with the same name have identical elements.

■ Port segmentation—When an ISL activates, directors exchange operating

parameters to determine if they are compatible and can join to form a single fabric. If they are incompatible, the connecting E_Port at each director segments to prevent the creation of a single fabric. A segmented link transmits only Class F traffic; the link does not transmit Class 2 or Class 3 traffic. The following conditions cause ports to segment:

— Incompatible operating parameters—Either the resource allocation

timeout value (R_A_TOV) or error detect timeout value (E_D_TOV) is inconsistent between directors. To prevent E_Port segmentation, the same E_D_TOV and R_A_TOV must be specified for each director.

— Duplicate domain IDs—One or more domain ID conflicts are detected. — Incompatible zoning configurations—Zoning configurations for the

directors are not compatible.

23Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Overview

— Build fabric protocol error—A protocol error is detected during the

process of forming the fabric.

— No principal switch—No director in the fabric is capable of becoming

the principal switch.

— No response from attached switch—After a fabric is created, each

director in the fabric periodically verifies operation of all attached switches and directors. An ISL segments if a switch or director does not respond to a verification request.

— ELP retransmission failure timeout—A director that exhibits a

hardware failure or connectivity problem cannot transmit or receive Class F frames. The director did not receive a response to multiple exchange link protocol (ELP) frames, did not receive a fabric login (FLOGI) frame, and cannot join an operational fabric.

Figure 1: Director components—front

The Director 2/64 ships with two Control Processor (CTP2) cards. The active CTP2 card initializes and configures the director after power on, and contains the microprocessor and associated logic that coordinate director operation. The second CTP2 card serves as a backup. A CTP2 card provides an Initial Machine Load (IML) button on the faceplate. When the button is pressed and held for three seconds, the director reloads firmware and resets the CTP2 card without switching off power or affecting operational fiber-optic links.

Each CTP2 card also provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted pair connector on the faceplate that attaches to an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).

25Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Overview

Each CTP2 card provides System Services Processor (SSP) and Embedded Port (EP) subsystems. The SSP subsystem runs director applications, communicates with director ports, and controls the RS-232 maintenance port and 10/100 Mbps ethernet port. The EP subsystem provides Class F processing, and manages frame transmission to and from the Serial Crossbar Assembly (SBAR). In addition, CTP2 cards provide non-volatile memory for storing firmware director configuration information, persistent operating parameters, and memory dump files. Director firmware is upgraded concurrently (without disrupting operation).

Each card faceplate contains a green light emitting diode (LED) that turns O the card is operational and active, and an amber LED that turns O fails. The LEDs are O beaconing is enabled.

Front Bezel

The bezel at the front of the Director includes two indicator LEDs. The green power LED turns O turns O

FF, a facility power source, alternating current (AC) power cord, or director

power distribution failure is indicated. The amber system error LED turns O

requiring immediate operator attention, such as an FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long as an event is active. The LED F enabled.

Cable Management Assembly

The cable management assembly positioned at the front of the director provides routing for Ethernet cables attached to CTP2 cards and fiber-optic cables attached to director ports. The assembly rotates up to provide front access to the redundant power supplies.

The cable management assembly is supplied with rack-mount kits for the HP 9000, HP 10000, and HP 11000 Series racks only

Power Supplies

The Director 2/64 uses redundant, load-sharing power supplies which step down and rectify facility input power to provide 48-VDC power to Director FRUs. The power supplies also provide over-voltage and over-current protection. Either power supply can be replaced while the switch is powered on and operational. Each power supply has a separate backplane connection to allow for different AC power sources.

UPM Card

Overview

The power supplies are input rated at 85 to 264 VAC. The faceplate of each power supply provides the following status LEDs:

■ A green PWR OK LED turns ON if the power supply is operational and

receiving AC power.

■ An amber FAU LT LED turns ON if the power supply fails.

■ An amber TEMP LED turns ON if the power supply shuts down due to an

over temperature condition.

■ An amber I LIM LED turns ON if the power supply is overloaded and

operating at the current limit (15.6 A).

Power supply requirements are listed in Appendix B.

Each Universal Port Module (UPM) card provides four full-duplex generic ports (G_Ports) that transmit or receive data at 1.063 or 2.125 gigabits per second (Gbps). G_Port functionality depends on the type of cable attachment. UPM cards use Non-Open Fiber Control (NOFC) Class 1 laser transceivers that comply with Section 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Subpart J as of the date of manufacture.

Depending on device connections, G_Ports work as follows:

■ If the G_Port is attached to a Fibre Channel device, the port functions as a

fabric port (F_Port). An F_Port is the interface on a director that connects to a device N_Port.

■ If the G_Port is attached to another director to form an Interswitch Link (ISL),

the port functions as an expansion port (E_Port). A multi-switch fabric is formed through multiple directors and ISLs.

Figure 2: UPM card LEDs and connectors

Single-mode or multi-mode fiber-optic cables attach to UPM cards through small form factor pluggable (SFP) optic transceivers. The fiber-optic transceivers provide duplex connectors, and can be detached from UPM cards (through a 10-pin interface) for easy replacement. Three fiber-optic transceiver types are available:

■ Short-wave Laser—Short-wave laser transceivers provide connections for

transferring data over short distances (2 to 500 meters) through 50-µm (500 meters) or 62.5-µm (200 meters) multi-mode fiber.

Note: Hewlett-Packard recommends 50-µm fiber-optic cable for any new

installation requiring multi-mode fiber.

■ Long-wave Laser—Long-wave laser transceivers provide connections for

transferring data over long distances (up to 10 kilometers) through 9-µm single-mode fiber.

Two fan modules, each containing three fans (six fans total), provide cooling for director FRUs, as well as providing redundancy for continued operation if a fan fails.

The fan module can be replaced while the director is powered on and operating, provided the module is replaced within 10 minutes (after which software powers off the director). An amber LED for each fan module turns O

fail or rotate at insufficient velocity.

29Director 2/64 Installation Guide

Overview

SBAR Assembly

The director ships with two SBAR assemblies. The active SBAR is responsible for Fibre Channel frame transmission from any director port to any other director port. Connections are established without software intervention. The assembly accepts a connection request from a port, determines if a connection can be established, and establishes the connection if the destination port is available. The assembly also stores busy, source connection, and error status for each director port.

The backup SBAR takes over operation if the active assembly fails, and provides the ability to maintain connectivity and data frame transmission without interruption. The transition to the backup assembly is transparent to attached devices.

Each SBAR assembly consists of a card and steel carriage that mounts flush on the backplane. The carriage provides protection for the back of the card, distributes cooling airflow, and assists in aligning the assembly during installation. The rear of the carriage contains a green LED that turns O operational and active, and an amber LED that turns O amber LED F

The power module assembly is located at the bottom rear of the director. The module provides the following.

■ Two single-phase AC power connectors. Each connector is input rated at 85 to

264 VAC.

■ A power switch (circuit breaker) that controls AC power distribution to both

power supplies. The breaker is set manually, or is automatically tripped by internal software if thermal sensors indicate the director has overheated.

■ A 9-pin maintenance port that provides a connection for a local terminal or

dial-in connection for a remote terminal.
