B Intelligent blades This appendix provides information for the following blades: • B-series MP Router blade (FR4-18i) • HP DC Switch Encryption FC blade (FS8-18) • HP Multiprotocol Extension blade (FX8-24) • HP StoreFabric Enhanced Multiprotocol Extension Blade (FX8-24E) • DC SAN Director 10/24 FCoE blade (FCOE10-24) B-series MP Router blade (FR4-18i) overview NOTE: The B-series MP Router blade (FR4-18i) is used in the DC SAN Director .
1. 2. 3. 4. Select an empty slot in the Director. Ensure the latches on the FR4-18i blade are unscrewed and open. Slide the FR4-18i blade into the open slot. Close the latches, tighten the screws, and power on the blade using the ON/OFF slider switch (see Figure 43 (page 112)). The FR4-18i blade begins POST. After POST is complete, the firmware version on the blade will autolevel with the firmware version on the active CP. 5.
Configuring FCIP and FC Routing Services and enabling the ports The ports on the FR4-18i blade are initially set to persistently disabled. If you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_Port, use the portcfgpersistentenable command to enable the ports. If you are using the FC ports as EX_Ports, you must configure the FC Routing Services feature prior to enabling the ports. The GbE ports can be used only after you have configured FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports.
Recommendations for cable management Manage cables as follows: • Plan cable management before installing the blade. • Leave at least one meter of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the blades, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius. HP DC Switch Encryption FC blade (FS8-18) overview NOTE: The HP DC Switch Encryption FC blade (FS8-18) is used in the DC SAN Director.
Configuring the FS8-18 blade For information on configuring the encryption functions, see the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide. Cabling the FS8-18 blade To cable the FS8-18 blade: 1. Install the SFP transceivers in the FC and GbE ports, as required: a. Remove the rubber plugs from the ports to be used. b. Position the transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
NOTE: The port diagram on the front panel uses the abbreviations GE for 1-GbE ports and 10GE for 10-GbE ports. If the FX8-24 blade is operating in 10-GbE mode, the other end of the circuit must be an FX8-24 blade operating in either 10-GbE mode or dual mode with the corresponding VE_Ports in 10-GbE mode. IMPORTANT: The 10-GbE SFPs used in the FX8-24 blade are not interchangeable with the 10 Gb/s FC SFPs used in the FC16-32/48 blades.
• ◦ FC Routing Services are used over the FCIP link. ◦ Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports; they do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in an FC Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges, but the EX_Port-attached edge fabrics do not merge. For more information, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide 7.0.1.
• Multiple circuits per trunk ◦ Four per trunk through the GbE ports ◦ Ten per trunk through the 10-GbE ports • SOTCP with reorder resistance • FastWrite over FCIP • Virtual E_Ports • FCIP QoS • Support for 200-ms RTT (on a limited number of GbE ports) • Adaptive Rate Limiting (licensable) • FICON Accelerator (licensable) • TCP performance graphing in Web Tools • FCIP Tunnels • ◦ A maximum of 10 FCIP tunnels is allowed for all GbE ports.
• JTAG support • Blade power and status LEDs • Link status LEDs for each port The FCOE10-24 blade also provides the following features: • FCoE switching • CEE switching • L2 Ethernet protocols STP/MSTP/RSTP, 802.1q, and Link Aggregation (802.
