HP SN8000B and DC SAN Director Family

Overview

The HP SN8000B and DC SAN Directors are part of the B-series portfolio and are the industry's leading Fibre Channel switching infrastructure solutions, combining breakthrough performance, scalability, and energy efficiency with long-term investment protection. The SN8000B Directors were designed to unleash the full potential of private cloud storage and virtualization. With unmatched scalability, 16 Gbps performance, reliability, and functionality, the SN8000B Directors are the strategic platform for transforming current SAN fabrics into cloud-optimized SANs. For SAN fabrics not requiring the performance of the 16 Gbps platforms, the DC SAN Directors are the most advanced 8 Gbps switching platforms in the industry.

All B-series SAN Directors are based on the same core technology and consist of two form factors. The SN8000B 8-Slot Director and DC SAN Backbone Director are both a 14U chassis and support 8 Fibre Channel blades for large enterprises to deliver maximum scalability, performance, and functionality. The SN8000B 4-Slot Director and the DC04 SAN Director are both a 9U chassis and support 4 Fibre Channel blades for mid-size enterprises as the core of their SANs.

The SN8000B SAN Directors are based on 7th generation technology and provide up to 384 16Gb or 512 8Gb FC ports. These directors also provide up to 32 QSFP based Inter Chassis Links (ICLs) which are equivalent to 128 16Gb FC ports. They support a range of fibre channel blade options including 32 port and 48 port 16Gb blades, 32 port and 48 port 8Gb enhanced blades and the 64 port 8Gb blade. They provide up to 8.2Tbps of total aggregate bandwidth and 512Gbps of slot bandwidth and are the ideal foundation for private cloud storage and highly virtualized environments.

The DC SAN Directors are based on 6th generation technology and provide up to 512 8Gb FC ports. They support several types of port blades -16, 32, 48, and 64 port 8Gb blades. They provide up to 4.1Tbps of total aggregate bandwidth and 256Gbps of slot bandwidth and are ideally suited to address the problems of traditional data centers

B-series SAN Directors offer multi protocol support through various blades with autosensing support, depending on model, for 16/10/8/4/2 Gbps Fibre Channel, FICON, FCIP, FCoE (not supported with SN8000B) and data at rest Encryption.

To help minimize downtime costs, all B-series SAN Directors build upon years of innovation and leverages the core B-series technology performing at greater than 99.999 percent uptime in the world's most demanding data centers.

It is available pre-configured or as an upgrade for every SN8000B 4-Slot Director and DC04 SAN Director. Power Pack+ also provides the foundation for integration into HP storage management tools, enabling infrastructure management through a single-pane-of-glass.

New features exclusively available on the SN8000B SAN Directors:

There is a common ICL POD (Ports on Demand) license between SN8000B 8-Slot and 4-Slot chassis. A single ICL POD license will enable 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps of bandwidth in both SN8000B 8-Slot and 4-Slot Director. A subsequent ICL POD license will enable an additional 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps in SN8000B 8-Slot Director. New, optional Enterprise ICL PODs will enable from five to nine chassis connected together and is added to the base ICL POD.

SN8000B SAN Directors allow customers to configure a port in any 16Gb blade at 10Gb FC speed. This is required for DWDM metro connectivity and will be enabled by a slot based 10GE license.

SN8000B SAN Directors provide features like in-flight encryption and compression as part of base Fabric Operating System (FOS) with any 16Gb blade. There are new diagnostic features (Diagnostic-Port aka D-Port, Optic Health Monitoring) that will allow functional and stress testing of cables and optics. They use the capabilities of FOS, Director ASIC, and B-series 16Gb optic and are available on 16Gb port blade with 16Gb B-series optics without any additional software license.

Adaptive Networking

Advanced Performance Monitor

Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:

Ingress Rate Limiting

Quality of Service (QoS)

Traffic Isolation Zones

This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics -- from a SID (Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID) -- so they can fine-tune and scale the 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.

Top Talkers is a component of Advanced Performance Monitoring and tracks the top traffic flows for hosts and targets for a switch port or a switch. Top Talkers can help identify the ports that need certain Quality of Service (QoS) attributes or it can help determine portions of the physical topology that need reconfiguration.

Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node. This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.

Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.

Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a nonpreferred path to be used if the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred path fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application, priority, and topology.

Fabric Watch

Server Application Optimization (SAO)

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.

Server Application Optimization (SAO) license improves overall application performance for physical servers and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with B-Series Fibre Channel HBAs, extends B-Series Adaptive Networking from the B-series SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers applicationlevel, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server applications. Solution Requirements:

SAO license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch Adaptive networking (AN) license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch SAO requires B-series HBA installed in the server

Link License

Inter Chassis Links (ICLs) harness unused ports to connect the switching backplane of SAN Directors. The SN8000B SAN Directors offer Second-generation ICL technology which includes new optical ports, higher port density, and support for standard optical cables up to 100 meters. Base ICL support can connect up to four SN8000B Directors, enabling flatter, faster, and simpler fabrics that increase consolidation while reducing network complexity and costs.

ICLs enable scalable core edge and active-active mesh chassis topologies. These high-density chassis topologies reduce inter-switch cabling by 75 percent and free up to 33 percent of ports for server and storage. This maximizes overall port density in the lowest amount of rack space.

The SN8000B 8-Slot Director has a total of 32 ICL ports (16 per core switching blade) that deliver 2.1 Tbps of bandwidth. This is equivalent to 128 16 Gbps ISLs. The SN8000B 4-Slot Director has a total of 16 ICL ports (eight per core switching blade) that deliver 1 Tbps of bandwidth. This is equivalent to 64 16 Gbps ISLs.

There is a common ICL POD (Ports on Demand) license between SN8000 8-Slot and 4-Slot chassis. A single ICL POD license will enable 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps of bandwidth in both SN8000 8-Slot and 4-Slot SAN Director. A subsequent ICL POD license will enable an additional 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps in a SN8000B 8-Slot Director.

NOTE:

High Density Cables Due to the high number of connections required for the 64-port blade, a

unique set of cables and couplers must be used to enable the High Density 64-port blade for the DC SAN Directors. There are two methods available for cabling the 64-port blade: The first method is directly from the 64-port blade to a standard LC-LC cable using an mSFP/LC Cable with an LC/LC Multi-mode Coupler as show in example A in the diagram below. The second is through the use of a patch panel as shown in example B. A list of recommended patch panels ,manufactured by CommScope and available through distributors such as Anixter, Graybar, CSC, and AccuTech, is provided below:
