Introducing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Distance – SCSI cable length from hosts to devices is increased from 25m to 10,000m, facilitating remote or disaster tolerant sites. Performance – 100 Mbytes/sec Fibre Channel (200 Mbytes/sec bi-directional) offers increased bandwidth when distributing data across multiple SCSI devices. Reliability – Low error rates, robust error recovery and flow control provide an enterprise with reliable data delivery.
Introducing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Operating as Both a SCSI and Fibre Channel Device The bridge is both a SCSI and Fibre Channel device operating on a SCSI bus and Fibre Channel network simultaneously. The SCSI Side On a SCSI bus, the PowerVault 35F acts as a SCSI initiator passing requests from hosts on the Fibre Channel network to target devices on the SCSI bus. Each PowerVault 35F SCSI bus uses a single SCSI ID.
Introducing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide 5. The target interprets the command and prepares to either read or write data. 6. Data flows between the host and target through payload buffers. 7. Response information flows from the SCSI target back to the Fibre Channel host.

Installing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Figure 1. Port locations Fibre Channel Connection Before connecting the PowerVault 35F to other Fibre Channel devices, it is important to understand the configuration requirements of the environment to which it will be connected. Failure to correctly configure a Fibre Channel device may impair the operation of the storage area network to which it is attached.
Installing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Figure 3. Fibre Channel port 3. Firmly insert the GBIC into the Fibre Channel port until you feel it snap into position. Figure 4. GBIC without rubber protector The GBIC should be protected by a rubber cap. Keep this cap in place until you’re ready to connect the PowerVault 35F to a Fibre Channel environment. To remove the GBIC, lift the metal latch and pull outward, or use the appropriate extraction tool.
Installing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide WARNING: The PowerVault 35F has been qualified with a specific set of GBICs. Using a GBIC that has not been qualified by Dell may cause the PowerVault 35F to operate improperly. 3. With the PowerVault 35F powered off, connect the PowerVault 35F into your Fibre Channel environment using the appropriate cabling. The connectors on the PowerVault 35F are keyed. Be sure to insert the cable connectors in the proper orientation.
Installing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide 5. Make sure each bus is terminated correctly. The devices at each end of each bus must be terminated. Typically the lower connectors are terminated, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8. SCSI terminator NOTE: Power on all SCSI devices and the PowerVault 35F before powering on the switch or any of the devices in the Fibre Channel environment to ensure SCSI devices are detected. 6. Power on your SCSI devices and allow time to initialize. 7.
Installing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Figure 9. PowerVault 35F Ethernet port Serial Port Connection The RJ11 connector on the rear panel of the PowerVault 35F provides an RS-232 connection that can be used to configure the PowerVault 35F, monitor diagnostic status, or to update the program stored in the PowerVault 35F’s Flash memory.

Understanding the PowerVault 35F Configuration: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide is at least one address available on the loop that is connected to the PowerVault 35F. Fibre Channel supports up to 126 devices on an arbitrated loop. Hard Addressing When acquiring a hard address, the PowerVault 35F attempts to acquire the AL_PA value that was specified by user configuration. If the desired address is not available at loop initialization time, the PowerVault 35F comes up on the loop in non-participating mode.
Understanding the PowerVault 35F Configuration: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Indexed Addressing – Allows you to edit and maintain a static address mapping table. Auto Addressing – Automatically creates a new address mapping table every time the PowerVault 35F is power cycled. SCC Addressing – Implements the SCSI-3 Controller Commands SCSI storage array addressing to address SCSI devices attached to the PowerVault 35F.
Understanding the PowerVault 35F Configuration: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide The Indexed Addressing table has the structure shown in Table 1. The PowerVault 35F will allow up to 80 device entries to be mapped. The index table can be manually edited, and is then saved to FLASH memory. A configuration menu allows for the table to be filled in order of increasing target, or LUN, as may be desired for the specific requirements needed.

Sample Configuration Examples: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Back to Contents Page Sample Configuration Examples: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide The PowerVault 35F can be used in multiple configurations. For best performance results, Dell recommends that if you have more than two (2) drives, share them equally across the SCSI buses. Below are examples of the PowerVault in multiple configurations: file:///C|/Users/rishi_sood/Desktop/35F/ug/sample.

Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Back to Contents Page Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Adapter A printed circuit assembly that translates data between the FC host processor’s internal bus and a different bus, such as SCSI. Address See SCSI Addressing. Addressing Mode Used to create a mapping table that maps devices on the SCSI bus to Fibre Channel logical units. AL_PA Arbitrated Loop Physical Address.
Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Device See FC Device or SCSI Device. Differential An electrical signal configuration using a pair of lines for data transfer. The advantage of differential compared to single-ended configuration is a relative high tolerance for common-mode noise and crosstalk when used with twisted pair cables. Domain A FC term describing the most significant byte in the N_Port Identifier for the FC device. It is not used in the FC-SCSI hardware path ID.
Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide FC Port An opening at the back of the PowerVault 35F that provides a fiber optic connection between the FC adapter and the FC host. FC-SCSI Hardware Path ID A FC term describing a list of values showing the physical hardware path of the FC host to the target device. Format: Bus_Converter/Adapter_Address.Protocol_Type.Area.Port.Bus.Target.LUN Example: 8/4.8.0.0.2.4.
Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide the media and interface, including drivers, transceivers, connectors, and cables. Mounts on a FC adapter card and connects the PowerVault 35F to a FC host. Also referred to as a Physical Link Module (PLM). Hardware Path See FC-SCSI Hardware Path ID. Host Bus Adapter See FC Adapter. Indexed Addressing A menu name.
Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide MIB See Management Information Base. Multiplexer A device that allows two or more signals to be transmitted simultaneously on a single channel. Motherboard The main PCA of the PowerVault 35F that provides a physical and logical connection between Fibre Channel and SCSI devices. N_Port A FC term defining a "Node" port. A FC-defined hardware entity that performs data communication over the FC link. It is identifiable by a unique Worldwide Name.
Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide Point-to-Point One of three existing FC topologies, in which two ports are directly connected by a link with no fabric, loop, or switching elements present. The PowerVault 35F supports all topologies. Port Name A field value under the FC Status Menu; the FC port identifier; a 64-bit value the factory assigns to each FC adapter. POST See Power On Self Test. Power On Self Test (POST) A group of tests run when the PowerVault 35F is powered on.
Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide SCSI Addressing A fast/wide SCSI adapter supports up to 16 devices, including itself. Each device has its own unique SCSI address. The SCSI address of a device dictates the device’s priority when arbitrating for the SCSI bus. SCSI address "7" has the highest priority. The next highest priority address is "6" followed by 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, with "8" being the lowest priority address.
Glossary: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide components). Its function is to provide a pull-up for open collector drivers on the bus, and also impedance matching to prevent signal reflections at the ends of the cable. The SCSI bus requires termination at both ends of the bus. One end of the SCSI bus is terminated by the SCSI adapter’s internal termination. The other end should have a terminator placed on the 68-pin high density SCSI connector on the last SCSI peripheral.
