Licensed Features
The iSR6200 router has features that are available by a license key.
Data Migration
The iSR6200 router provides data migration as an optional, licensed feature.
The iSR6200-based data migration feature is block-based and independent of a
SAN, server, storage protocol (Fibre Channel and iSCSI), and storage vendor.
Because application downtime during data migration is always critical, iSR6200
data migration supports both online (local and remote) and offline data migration
across Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage arrays. Even offline data migration using
the iSR6200 is designed to minimize application downtime by allowing you to
configure all migration related tasks while the application remains online, and to
migrate the data at a very high speed while the application is offline. This feature
is designed such that any person with knowledge of SAN or SAN storage
administration can migrate data.
Remote SAN Island Connectivity
The iSR6200 router supports inter-connecting remote SAN islands, as shown in
Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. Remote SAN Island Connectivity

1–Introduction
iSR6200 Router Chassis
This configuration has the following additional requirements:
At least one Fibre Channel port of iSR6200 connected to Fibre Channel
SAN.
Accessibility between the GbE ports on the router, port IP addresses of the
remote router, and GbE port IP addresses of the local routers.
Accessibility between the remote iSR6200 management port IP address and
local iSR6200 management port IP address.
When connecting SANs over long distances, you must determine the round-trip
latencies between two router connections. You can discover these round-trip
latencies using the ping command in the CLI. (See the iSR6200 Command Line
Interface (CLI) User’s Guide.)
Using this round-trip latency number, you can determine the window scaling factor
for GbE port, as described in “Performance Tuning” on page 2-4. By default,
window scaling is set to 1 (64K) TCP window size.
To map remote Fibre Channel devices to a local SAN:
1. If the remote router is not already associated with a local router, associate
the two routers with each other using one of these user interfaces:
The Add Remote Router wizard (see the iSR6200 Router Manager
User’s Guide).
The CLI command remotepeer add (see the iSR6200 Command
Line Interface (CLI) User’s Guide).
2. Create the initiator to target mapping using one of these methods:
The Map Remote Initiator/Target wizard (see the iSR6200 Router
Manager User’s Guide).
The CLI remotemap add command (see the iSR6200 Command
Line Interface (CLI) User’s Guide).
iSR6200 Router Chassis

Each iSR6200 chassis blade has a PCM located on the backside of the chassis,
as shown in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4. PCM—Back Plate
Each PCM consists of one power supply, three fans, and one external status light
emitting diode (LED), as shown in Figure 1-5.
1–Introduction
Power and Cooling Module (PCM)
Figure 1-5. PCM—Front
Each blade is capable of simultaneously driving all six fans in both PCMs.
Generally, only one blade controls both fans, running them at a normal speed.
However, if the system detects a higher-than-expected temperature on either side
of the blade, it forces the fans to run at full speed. After the temperature is back to
normal, the fans resume running at their normal speed.
ISR651101-00 J 1-5

iSR6200 Router Blades
Table 1-1 shows the internal temperature limits set to trigger events or server
message block (SMB) alerts.
Table 1-1. Internal Temperature Sensor Limits
High Fan

CPU1 60°C 55°C 68°C 55°C
CPU2 60°C 55°C 68°C 55°C
The following describes the fan speed and temperature parameters listed in
Table 1-1.
High Fan Speed Temperature—When a sensor detects a temperature that
exceeds this value, the fans run at their maximum RPM speed. The system
logs the event and the system fault LED blinks five times every two seconds.
Low Fan Speed Recovery Temperature—When the fans are running at
their maximum RPM and all sensors report values less than this value, the
fan speed resets to normal.
Critical Temperature—When a sensor detects a temperature that exceeds
this value, the system powers down the blade. When this happens, the
CPUs enter sleep state 5. The system sets the peripheral component
interface (PCI) power state of capable devices to D3, and then turns off the
power supplies not essential to wake up the CPUs. When the temperature
goes below the Recovery Temperature value, the sensor that reported the
over-temperature value generates an SMB_ALERT.

iSR6200 Router Blades
Router Blade LEDs
Each chassis blade provides LEDs and connectors that face the front of the
chassis and may also provide expansion ports, depending on its model. The
router blade LEDs shown in Figure 1-9 provide information about the router’s
operational status. These LEDs include the heartbeat LED, the system fault LED,
and the input power LED. The blade also includes a recessed beacon indicator
used to locate the physical blade monitored using SANsurfer Router Manager.
Heartbeat LED (Green)
The heartbeat LED blinks once per second as long the router firmware is
operational.
Figure 1-9. Router Blade LEDs
ISR651101-00 J 1-9
1–Introduction
iSR6200 Router Blades
System Fault LED (Amber)
The system fault LED lights up to show that a fault exists in the router firmware or
hardware. Fault conditions include power on self-test (POST) errors and
over-temperature conditions. The LED shows a blink code for POST errors and
the over-temperature condition. See Figure 1-9 and Table 1-3.
Table 1-3. System Fault LED Blink Patterns
System
Fault LED
OFF OK (operational)
1 Blink Beacon; synchronized with the heartbeat LED
3 Blinks System error
4 Blinks Management port IP address conflict
5 Blinks Over-temperature
Input Power LED (Green)
The power LED shows the voltage status of the router logic circuit board. During
normal operation, this LED lights up to show that the router logic circuit board is
receiving the DC voltage from the power supply.
Beacon Indicator (Blue)
The iSR6200 router blade’s printed circuit board (PCB) has a blue beacon light
installed near the center vent hole between the Fibre Channel ports (Figure 1-9).
This light enables you to locate the physical blade when monitoring the iSR6200
routers using SANsurfer Router Manager. If you enable the Beacon On option for
a selected blade in SANsurfer Router Manager, the blue beacon light flashes
through the vent hole on the chassis blade’s faceplate.
