1 – Introduction General Public License

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software - to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead). You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputation.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program propriety. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution and Modification

1. This license applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms

1-6 FI0154601-00 C

Page 21

1 – Introduction

General Public License

of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License: they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately place on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating

that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or

in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when

run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

FI0154601-00 C 1-7

Page 22

1 – Introduction General Public License

4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other Licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

source code, which must be distributed under the terms of 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange: or,

b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give

any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to

distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with paragraph b.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

1-8 FI0154601-00 C

Page 23

1 – Introduction

General Public License

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original Licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties of this License.

8. If, as a consequence of a court judgement or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

FI0154601-00 C 1-9

Page 24

1 – Introduction General Public License

9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

either by patents or by copyright interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

11. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

12. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of the software generally.

NO WARRANTY

13. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE

1-10 FI0154601-00 C

Page 25

1 – Introduction

General Public License

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

14. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

One line to give the program’s name and an idea of what it does.

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

Also information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ’show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type ’show c’ for details.

The hypothetical commands ’show w’ and ’show c’ show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than ’show w’ and ’show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items—whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ’Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.

Reset and Select Boot Image

You can reset the router using either the primary or secondary boot image:

 Primary Image – To reset the router and select the primary boot image, use

a pointed, nonmetallic tool to press and hold the maintenance button until the heartbeat LED flashes once, then release the button. The router will boot from the primary boot image. The boot time is less than one minute.

 Secondary Image – To reset the router and select the secondary boot

image, use a pointed, nonmetallic tool to press and hold the maintenance button until the heartbeat LED flashes twice, then release the button. The heartbeat LED flashes twice. The router boots from secondary boot image. The boot time is less than one minute.

Reset IP Address

To reset the router and restore the maintenance port IP address to the default (10.0.0.1), use a pointed, nonmetallic tool to press and hold the maintenance button until the heartbeat LED flashes six times, then release the button. The router boots and sets the maintenance port to IP address 10.0.0.1. The boot time is less than one minute.

The IP address set by this method is not persistent; to make the change persistent, use the command line interface (CLI) or SANsurfer Router Manager to set the IP address. For more information, see page 7-14 and page A-30.

Enable DHCP

To reset the router and configure the maintenance port to use DHCP to acquire its IP address, use a pointed, nonmetallic tool to press and hold the maintenance button until the heartbeat LED flashes seven times, then release the button. The router boots and configures the maintenance port for DHCP. The boot time is less than one minute.

Enabling DHCP by this method is not persistent; to make the change persistent, use the command line interface (CLI) or SANsurfer Router Manager to enable DHCP. For details, see page 7-14 and page A-33.

Restore Factory Defaults

To reset the router and restore it to the factory default configuration, use a pointed, nonmetallic tool to press the maintenance button and hold it until the heartbeat LED flashes 20 times, then release the button. The router boots and is restored to the factory defaults. The boot time is less than one minute.

The router does the following when restored to the factory defaults:

 Resets all passwords.

 Resets the maintenance port IP address to 10.0.0.1.

 Disables the iSCSI ports and sets the IP address to 0.0.0.0.

Fibre Channel Ports

The SANbox 6140 router has two Fibre Channel 1-Gbps/2-Gbps ports. The ports are labeled FC1 and FC2, as shown in Figure 2-4.

Figure 2-4 Fibre Channel LEDs

Each port is served by a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver and is capable of 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps transmission. SFPs are hot-pluggable. User ports can self-discover both the port type and transmission speed when connected to public devices or switches. The port LEDs are located to the right of their respective ports and provide status and activity information.

The SANbox 6140 router supports SFP optical transceivers for the Fibre Channel ports. A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive data. Duplex fibre optic cables plug into the transceivers, which then connect to the devices. A 1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel port can transmit at 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps; however, the transceiver must also be capable of delivering these rates.

The SFP transceivers are hot pluggable. You can remove or install a transceiver while the router is operating without harming the router or the transceiver. However, this interrupts communication with the connected device. See page 4-4 for information about installing and removing SFP optical transceivers.

Gigabit Ethernet Port LEDs

The Gigabit Ethernet ports shown in Figure 2-5 are RJ-45 connectors that provide connection to an Ethernet SAN through a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet cable. The ports are labeled GE1 and GE2. Each of these ports supports connections that run the iSCSI high-level TCP protocol.

Figure 2-5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

These ports each have two LEDs:

 The activity LED (green) lights up when the port transmits or receives data

3 Planning

This section describes how to plan for the SANbox 6140 router. Consider the following when planning to use the SANbox 6140 router:

 Devices (see page 3-1)

 Device Access (see page 3-2)

 FC Performance (see page 3-2)

 iSCSI Performance (see page 3-3)

 Performance Tuning (see page 3-4)

 Multiple Routers (see page 3-7)

 Management (see page 3-7)

 Recovery (see page 3-8)

 Services (see page 3-8)

 Security (see page 3-8)

Devices

When planning to use the router, consider the number of devices and the anticipated demand. This determines the number of ports required and in turn the number of routers.

The router uses SFP transceivers in the 1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) ports, but some FC devices may not use the same transceivers. Consider whether the FC device you want to connect the router to uses SFP or gigabit interface converters (GBIC) transceivers, and choose fibre optic cables accordingly. Use LC-type cable connectors for SFP transceivers and SC-type cable connectors for GBIC transceivers. Also consider the transmission speed compatibility of your devices, host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, and SFPs.

FI0154601-00 C 3-1

Page 38

3 – Planning Device Access

Device Access

Consider device access needs within the FC and iSCSI SANs. Controlling access to FC device LUNs requires mapping FC device LUNs to specific iSCSI initiators. You may map LUNs to more than one initiator. Giving multiple initiators access to a LUN requires access management.

Fibre Channel

The Fibre Channel ports automatically discover all FC target devices, whether connected directly (loop) or by fabric (switch).

iSCSI

The iSCSI ports automatically present targets discovered on the Fibre Channel ports. If the FC target’s LUN 0 is a controller LUN, it becomes accessible (mapped) to all iSCSI initiators. All data LUNs are inaccessible until mapped. The exception to this is if LUN 0 is a controller LUN, then it is mapped automatically to allow for management of the FC target controller.

When an iSCSI initiator logs on, the router records the initiator’s iSCSI name and IP address. The management interface [command line interface (CLI) and SANsurfer Router Manager] uses the initiator information to simplify the mapping process.

FC Performance

The SANbox 6140 router supports Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. Related performance characteristics include the following:

 Distance (see page 3-2)

 Bandwidth (see page 3-3)

 Latency (see page 3-3)

Distance

Consider the physical distance between Fibre Channel devices. Choose SFP transceivers that are compatible with the cable type and distance.

Each Fibre Channel port is supported by a data buffer with a three-credit capacity; that is, three maximum sized frames. For fibre optic cables, this enables full bandwidth over the following approximate distances:

 5 kilometers at 1 Gbps (0.6 credits/Km)

 2.5 kilometers at 2 Gbps (1.2 credits/Km)

3-2 FI0154601-00 C

Page 39

Beyond these distances, however, the connection loses some efficiency because the transmitting port must wait for an acknowledgement before sending the next frame.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given transmission rate. A 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC port can transmit or receive at nominal rates of 1- or 2-Gbps, depending on the device to which it is connected. This corresponds to actual bandwidth values of 106 MB and 212 MB, respectively.

Latency

Latency is a measure of how fast a transaction travels through the router.

iSCSI Performance

The SANbox 6140 router supports Ethernet service at transmission rates of 1000-, 100- or 10-Mbps with an MTU size of 1500 or 9000 (jumbo frames).

3 – Planning

iSCSI Performance

NOTE:

Related performance characteristics include the following:

 Latency

 Bandwidth

 Latency

Distance

Consider the physical distance between routers.This is usually measured in round-trip delay. Round trip delays ranges anywhere from less than 1 millisecond to as great as 250 milliseconds.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given transmission rate. WAN data rates range from 1.5 megabits per second (T1) to greater than 600 megabits per second (OC-12).

Latency

An MTU size greater than 1500 should only be used when the router is connected to a 1000 Mbps Ethernet network.

Latency is a measure of how fast a transaction travels through the router and LAN/WAN.

FI0154601-00 C 3-3

3 – Planning Performance Tuning

Performance Tuning

Proper configuration maximizes the router’s performance. Knowing the round trip delay (distance between the router and iSCSI initiators) and WAN effective data rate (connection type) allows you to tune the router for optimal performance. The following tables provide TCP Window Size settings for specific WAN environments. The TCP Window Size is configured as two parameters: Window Size and Scaling Factor. See page 7-28 and page A-33 for configuring the TCP window size.

3 – Planning Recovery

Recovery

It is prudent to have a process in place to recover from a possible router failure. Consider the following when developing a recovery process for the router:

 Save all firmware image files (updates) in a safe, well-known place, because

 Save the router’s configuration (as a new file) after every configuration

 Save the router’s LUN mappings (as a new file) after every mapping change,

 Need to configure a replacement router

because you may:

Services

You can configure your router to suit the demands of your environment using a variety of router services. Familiarize yourself with the following router services and determine which ones you need:

 Telnet – Enables you to manage the router over a telnet connection.

 Router management – Provides for out-of-band management of the router

 Simple network management protocol (SNMP) – Enables you to monitor

 Network time protocol (NTP) – Enables you to synchronize the router and

 File transfer protocol (FTP) – Enables you to transfer files rapidly between

Security

3 – Planning

Security

Passwords provide router security. The SANsurfer Router Manager requires a password each time a user logs into the application. Once connected, the SANsurfer Router Manager prompts for an administrative password before it accepts configuration changes.

The CLI also requires the user to enter a user ID and password to start. CLI must be in an admin session to perform any set operations. An admin session requires a password.

The default password for both these management tools is “password” for the default user ID of “guest.” The default administrative password is “config.”

Once logged on, you can change the password using the application’s security features.
