HP SN6000 Stackable Fibre Channel Switch
Overview
The HP SN6000 Stackable 8Gb Fibre Channel switch simplifies SAN deployment in SMB to Enterprise environments with an affordable
and easy to manage SAN solution, while delivering scaling efficiency that keeps up with fibre channel port growth as the network
expands. Built with low-cost, high-performance scalability in mind, each SN6000 features up to 20 FC device ports enabled supporting
8/4/2 Gbps speeds, plus 4 dedicated high-speed 10/20 Gbps stacking ports for linking/stacking SN6000 switches. Heterogeneous
fabric connection is simplified too with Transparent Router (TR) functionality, standard in H-series switches (SN6000 and 8/20q), by
providing seamless, non-disruptive interoperability and access to servers and storage on HP B-series and HP C-series SANs. The
economical H-series SAN solution includes SAN Connection Manager (SCM) software for complete end-to-end fabric management. With
SSCM software it's easy to provision storage as well as manage HBAs and switches from a single screen that offers a comprehensive
topology view of the SAN. SCM software simplicity does not end with H-series switches. The software integrates with HP Virtual
Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) environments by providing an end-to-end integrated solution to manage HP Bladesystem c-class
via, HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM), and P2000 MSA storage array/EVA storage with SN6000 switches via one
management interface.
No other 8Gb FC switch, available in the industry, offers the scaling efficiencies as the SN6000 stackable fibre channel switch. IT
Storage growth is escalating, while demand for more SAN access is increasing. Adding more usable FC ports in the data center is full of
challenges, but with the SN6000 switch it's as simple as stacking SN6000 switches. Begin with 20 device ports for an affordable
solution and add new stacking switches and save more money for up to 120 usable device ports per stack (single manageable unit), or
>500 ports in multi-stack topologies. To achieve higher performance 10 Gbps stacking ports may be upgraded to 20 Gbps speed at any
time, non-disruptively, extending the solution lifespan while preserving current investments. Best of all no matter how large a stacking
SAN becomes; it's managed as one logical end-to-end fabric with plenty of availability features to prevent downtime.
HP SN6000 Stackable Fibre Channel Switch
Scaling efficiencies: SN6000 easily accommodates IT budgets with dual stacks,
multiple stacks or large enterprise multi-stack deployments
Dedicated 10 Gbps/20 Gbps stacking ports give IT managers all the headroom they need to deploy new applications and technologies
with confidence. Need more ports? Simply add another switch to the stack for easy non-disruptive expansion to 120 ports and up to
five 120 device port stacks supporting greater than 500 device ports. Need more bandwidth? Simply apply the 20 Gbps Stacking (ISL)
port upgrade for growth and performance.

On-board graphical user interface allows administrators to access advanced switch management
functionality using the switch's IP address.
HP Enterprise Fabric Management Suite (EFMS) software is a set of simple, affordable and powerful fabric
management tools for HP H-series fabrics. A management interface provides performance and fabric
monitoring as well as configuration tools for H-series fabrics. Users are licensed, per site, geographic
location, or campus, to manage an unlimited number of switches and fabrics from a single, fully integrated
application.
Enterprise Fabric Management Suite also provides maintenance, isolation and troubleshooting capabilities
for SAN administrators who require advanced tools. Included with EFMS is a comprehensive set of realtime diagnostic tools for monitoring and troubleshooting Fibre Channel Fabrics. Determine if a device is
responding, trace the path in the fabric, as well as monitor the health of SFP and XPAK transceivers.

of ninety (90) days from delivery.
NOTE:
During the warranty period HP will provide standard business hours, standard business days

For increased uptime, productivity and ROI -HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage
These days, you need to get the most out of your storage investment-you can't afford not to. When you
buy HP storage products and solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and
support you may need. To help take the worry out of deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing
your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible, reliable and scalable
as your storage. Unlike storage-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment,
bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged
services for Storage.
Protect your business beyond the warranty
When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have
matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of potential
problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties alone.
Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime- but not the business.
By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce downtime
risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business
computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you
proactively guard against unplanned downtime.
Extending warranties with HP Care Pack Services
For cost-effective upgrading or extending your standard warranty, HP Care Pack Services offer a suite of
standard reactive hardware and software support services that are sold separately, or combined as with
our Support Plus and Support Plus 24 services. The portfolio also provides a combination of proactive and
reactive services, such as Proactive 24 Service and Critical Service. In addition, with HP Proactive Select we
offer an innovative approach to service delivery that gives you the flexibility to acquire the specific
proactive services you need today, then add services as your needs evolve. HP Proactive Select offers a
broad set of technical or per-event type service options - including server, storage, and network, SAN
device, and software, environment, installation and education services. Services that you can mix and
match depending on your specific requirements, from preliminary planning and equipment delivery to
installation, configuration, integration, and testing, through every level of ongoing support. Our HP Care
Pack packaged services for Storage assures help when you need it most. And for many products, postwarranty HP Care Pack Services are available when your original warranty has expired.
HP Storage Services: Offering reliability, flexibility and value-just like your storage
HP Storage Services offers a full spectrum of customer care, from technology support to complex
migrations to complete completely managed services. HP Factory Express provides customization,
integration and deployment services for turnkey solutions. HP Education offers flexible, comprehensive
training on storage networking, disk storage systems, and storage software to help your IT staff get the
most out of your investments. And HP Financial solutions extend innovative financing and asset
management programs to cost-effective buy, manage and eventually retire your older equipment.

These optics are used for stacking ports when distances greater than 2m are required.
OM4 or OM3 Fibre Channel cables are used with these optics.
* XPAK copper cables used with the factory shipped transceiver/connectors are required
to interconnect SN6000 switches through the 10 Gbps/20 Gbps Stacking Ports (ISLs).
These are available in 3 in, 9 in, or 2m (78 in) lengths.
