Network Express Module Overview

This chapter provides a basic overview of the Sun StorageTek™ 4 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Network Express Module (NEM) Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This chapter also describes the various operating systems, host platforms, storage, and infrastructure configurations that support the NEM. This chapter contains the following topics:

■ “NEM Features and Specifications” on page 1

■ “Operating System Requirements” on page 4

■ “System Interoperability” on page 4

NEM Features and Specifications

The Sun StorageTek 4 Gb FC NEM 20-Port HBA consists of a 20-port NEM bus expansion board that interfaces a FC optical media bus. The NEM provides closed chassis adapter installation, removal, integrated hot-plug, and protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD) handling damage.

The 20-port NEM consists of ten independent HBAs. Each HBA has two FC ports which provide exclusive connections to a single blade. The ports of each HBA cannot be shared with any other blade in the chassis.

The NEM supports 20 independent FC buses operating at 4.25 Gbits/sec. It is also backward compatible with 2.125-Gbit/sec and 1.0625-Gbit/sec devices. Small-Form Factor (SFF) optical transceivers are used to connect to the external FC buses.

Twenty SFP fiber-optic transceivers are included with each NEM. You can order additional NEMs and SFP transceivers from Sun Microsystems using the following part numbers:

ID Chip Feature

When you replace a NEM, each of the 10 HBAs and 20 FC ports on the NEM will be assigned new port and node worldwide names (WWNs).To retain the existing WWNs you can remove the ID chip from the NEM that failed and install it on the replacement NEM. Please ensure that each of the 10 individual HBAs on the NEM are running firmware version 2.70x4 or “a” releases 2.72a0 or later.

If you replace a NEM and do not swap the ID chip, new WWNs will be assigned to each of the 10 HBAs and 20 FC ports; thus, requiring you to update SAN components, such as FC switches and storage arrays, with the new values.

Note – If a HBA with firmware older than 2.70x4 or "a" release 2.7a0 is replaced, it

will be assigned new WWNs.

See the following Emulex documents for information on how to determine and update to the firmware:

■ Solaris:

http://www.emulex.com/ts/downloads/solsfs/rel/100n/pdf/manual. pdf

Note – The firmware is embedded in the emlxs driver version 2.20g and later.

CHAPTER

Hardware Installation and Removal

This chapter describes the tasks required to install and remove the NEM when the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System is in a powered-on state.

Note – If you are powering on the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System or Sun Blade

8000 P Modular System for the first time, follow the installation instructions in the Sun Blade 8000 Series Installation Guide.

This chapter contains the following topics:

■ “Observing ESD and Handling Precautions” on page 8

■ “Installing the NEM” on page 8

■ “Configuring the NEM For Hot-Plug Operation” on page 14

■ “Verifying a Hot-Insert Operation” on page 15

■ “Replacing a NEM” on page 18

Observing ESD and Handling Precautions

Caution – Damage to the NEM can occur as the result of careless handling or

electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the NEM with care to avoid damage to electrostatic sensitive components.

To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, Sun strongly recommends using both a workstation antistatic mat and an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store or from Sun as part number #250-1007. Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:

■ Leave the NEM in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.

■ Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ES

protection when handling the NEM and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.

■ Place the NEM on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out

of its protective antistatic bag.

Installing the NEM

This section describes the process for installing a new Network Express Module (NEM) in a powered-on Sun Blade 8000 or Sun Blade 8000 P system.

Note – If you are installing the NEM in a new Sun Blade 8000 or Sun Blade 8000 P

system that has not yet been powered on, follow the installation instructions in the

Sun Blade 8000 Series Installation Guide.

■ To Install the NEM

■ To Connect the Optical Cables

The following sections describe these steps in more detail.
