1 Introduction This chapter contains the following HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 information: • Switch description, page 13 • Features, page 13 • Hardware components, page 16 • Tools and test equipment, page 20 • Optional kits, page 22 Switch description The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment.
• Combination short-wave or long-wave laser transceivers • Redundant power supplies and fan modules • Online product repair for Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) • Periodic health check and enhanced system monitoring • Non-disruptive firmware load and update Switch management The Edge Switch 2/32 is managed and controlled through the following user interfaces: • High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM appliance) with the Java™ based HAFM Element Manager installed.
• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and Fibre Channel (FC) loopback tests). The FC loopback test applies only when the switch is configured to operate in FICON management style. • Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the HAFM appliance.
Zoning 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).
Front view Figure 1 shows the front of the Edge Switch 2/32 and identifies the front panel components.
SFP transceivers (fiber optic connectors) A single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable attaches to a port through a small form pluggable (SFP) transceiver. The SFP provides a duplex LC interface, and can be detached from the switch port for easy replacement. Two fiber-optic transceiver types are available: • Shortwave laser—Shortwave laser SFPs provide short-distance connections (2 to 500 meters) through 50-micron or 62.5-micron multimode fiber.
• Ports, causing all Fibre Channel connections to drop momentarily until the connections automatically recover. An IML should only be performed if a CTP failure is indicated. Do not IML the switch unless directed to do so by a procedural step in this manual or by the next level of support. As a precaution, the IML button is flush mounted to protect against accidental activation.
