Preface 10 McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
1 General Information The McDATA® Sphereon™ 3032and Sphereon™ 3232 Fabric Switches provide dynamically switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multiswitch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data-centric.
General Information 1 Switch Description The Sphereon 3032/3232 Switches provide Fibre Channel connectivity through 32 ports. Switch ports operate at either 1.0625 (Sphereon 3032) or 2.125 (Sphereon 3232) gigabits per second (Gbps), and can be configured as: • Fabric ports (F_Ports) to provide direct connectivity for up to 24 switched fabric devices. • Expansion ports (E_Ports) to provide interswitch link (ISL) connectivity to fabric directors and switches.
General Information 1 • Optional management server with the SAN Management Application) and Element Manager applications installed. The management server is a rack-mount unit that provides a central point of control for up to 48 switches or managed McDATA products. Operators at remote workstations can connect to the management server through the local SANavigator or EFCM 8 application and associated Element Manager applications to manage and monitor switches controlled by the management server.
General Information 1 Figure 1-1 illustrates out-of-band product management. In the figure, the managed product is a Sphereon fabric switch. Figure 1-1 Out-of-Band Product Management The following inband management access methods are provided as options: 1-4 • Management through the product’s open-system management server (OSMS) that communicates with an application client.
General Information 1 Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability Features The switch provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features: • Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.
General Information 1 • Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or switch. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled, the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port or switch operation. • Data collection through the Element Manager application to help isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.
General Information 1 Zoning Feature The switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other. Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to switch fabric ports (F_Ports).
General Information 1 Multiswitch Fabrics A Fibre Channel topology that consists of one or more interconnected switches or switch elements is called a fabric. Operational software provides the ability to interconnect switches (through expansion port (E_Port) connections) to form a multiswitch fabric. The data transmission path through the fabric is typically determined by fabric elements and is user-transparent.
General Information 1 • Port segmentation - When an ISL activates, the switches exchange operating parameters to determine if they are compatible and can join to form a single fabric. If incompatible, the connecting E_Port at each switch segments to prevent the creation of a single fabric. A segmented link transmits only Class F traffic; the link does not transmit Class 2 or Class 3 traffic.
