Typical Configuration of the UltraNet Edge 3000 2 Typical Configuration of the UltraNet Edge 3000 Figure 2-1 illustrates how two UltraNet Edge 3000 units configured for E_port extension can be used to interconnect Fibre Channel SANs using a new or existing Ethernet or ATM WAN. The UltraNet Edge 3000 can also be configured for F_port which eliminates the requirement for an external Fibre Channel switch.
Typical Configuration of the UltraNet Edge 3000 2 ATM WAN Configurations 1x1 and 2x2 configurations are standard ATM WAN configurations for the UltraNet Edge 3000. The UltraNet Edge 3000 can also be configured in a 1x2, 2x1 and 3x1 configurations, but they are not supported as standard implementations.
Valid Hardware Interface Configurations 2 Valid Hardware Interface Configurations Table 2-6 provides the supported hardware interface configurations for the UltraNet Edge 3000. All configurations shown in Table 2-6 support compression. See Figure 2-4 (page -13) for a graphical representation of the I/Os shown in the table below.
Fibre Channel Card Dependencies 2 Fibre Channel Card Dependencies The UltraNet Edge 3000 supports two types of Fibre Channel cards; FCBB or FCXL2. The FCBB card is standard, the FCXL2 card is used only for FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining (Device Extension) implementations. Table 2-7 shows the supported configurations that can be run with each card.
Fibre Channel Card Dependencies 2 achieved in networks which limit the number of concurrent SCSI I/O operations and also in networks with high latency. IP and ATM WANs are supported with E_port configurations. FC/SCSI E_Port to E_Port FC/SCSI F_port Configurations When an UltraNet Edge 3000 is configured for E_port, its peer UltraNet Edge 3000 must also be configured as E_port. F_port is a port in the fabric where an N_port can attach.
Fibre Channel Card Dependencies 2 FICON Port Configurations An Edge 3000 FICON port can be a connection directly to one of the following: • a FICON N_port (a MVS FICON Channel Interface or a FICON Control Unit FICON port) • an E_port from a FICON capable FC Switch • an F_port from FICON capable FC Switch NOTE: FICON support is available at this time only over GigE IP WANs.
Internal Fibre Channel Switch (FCSW) 2 Internal Fibre Channel Switch (FCSW) The FCSW application resides in the data path stack between the Fibre Channel device driver (FCCNT) and the WAN network provider. This allows the FCSW to operate as a switch, determining which destination to forward a frame to. The FCSW passes Fibre Channel frames to/from the FCCNT driver.

Network Design 3 Default Gateway 1 Personal Computer 1 Default Gateway 2 192.168.10.3/24 192.168.10.5/24 Maintenance IP 192.168.10.2/24 FC Fibre FC Channel Switch 1 192.168.20.3/24 Maintenance IP 192.168.10.1/24 IP IP Cloud Router 1 UltraNet Edge 10 192.168.100.1/24 192.168.100.4/24 192.168.20.1/24 IP Router 2 192.168.20.2/24 FC UltraNet Edge 20 192.168.200.1/24 Fibre Channel FC Switch 2 192.168.200.
Network Design 3 Required Network Design Information for an Ethernet Network The following is a list of information for you need to know for the network components when designing an Ethernet network. UltraNet Edge 3000 • The Ethernet maintenance interface is statically configured for auto negotiate. • Each IP interface on the UltraNet Edge 3000 needs to be on a separate subnet. This includes the WAN interfaces, the Ethernet maintenance interface, and the serial interface for PPP.
Network Design 3 10/100 Ethernet Switches & Routers • 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface switches and routers that are directly connected to the data path are required to be configured for full duplex and 100Mbps. Auto Negotiation is not supported on these switches or routers. NOTE: Cisco routers must always be set manually for 100Mbps, Full Duplex.
Network Design 3 • A LC to SC fiber cable is needed to connect the UltraNet Edge 3000 to a Brocade 2000 Series Switch. • A LC to LC fiber cable is needed to connect the UltraNet Edge 3000 to a Brocade 3000 Series Switch. • The Brocade and McData switches need specific flash parameters specified (see the chapter on “Brocade Switch Requirements” in the UltraNet Edge Storage Router - 3000 Series Release Notes, part number 30200581).
Network Design 3 When designing your network for an ATM WAN using the UltraNet Edge 3000, gather the following information for both the local and remote nodes: NOTE: Refer to the UltraNet Edge Storage Router ATM WAN Configuration Worksheet in Appendix J or help gathering the IP addresses and required network criteria. • ATM VPI/VCI information for connectivity through ATM switches.
Network Design 3 • The UltraNet Edge 3000 does not listen to routing broadcasts. One default gateway can be configured along with multiple host and network specific static routes. Generally the default gateway is defined for the Ethernet maintenance interface and the other static routes are used for the WAN. • The end-to-end network must have less than 1% packet loss. • The UltraNet Edge 3000 has SNMP support. SNMP access can be configured to limit Get or Set requests on a host specific basis.
Network Routing Options 3 UltraNet ConfigManager When you perform the initial TCP/IP configuration using the UltraNet ConfigManager, the PC which has UltraNet ConfigManager installed on it, must be on the same LAN and subnet as the Ethernet maintenance interface. Network Routing Options When configuring the UltraNet Edge 3000, there are three possible network routing options; dedicated, load balancing, and fail over.
Network Routing Options 3 Channel is sequenced separately. Therefore, link quality on a single link will not affect the other while they are running. This is the only selectable option for 1x1 configurations.
Switch WWN Proxy 3 This option is only selectable for 2x2 configurations.
Required Minimum Hardware for E_Port Disk Streaming 3 A significant performance gain is normally achieved in networks which limit the number of concurrent SCSI I/O operations and in networks with high latency. E_port Disk Streaming is aware of SCSI I/O operations and of the initiator (originator) and target (responder) relationships of the hosts and devices using the SCSI protocol. ISL Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) will not work with E_port Disk Streaming.
Fibre Channel Frame Level CRC 3 Table 3-3 Non-Supported Applications for E_Port Disk Streaming Non-Supported Storage Device Applications/Protocols IBM Shark (ESS) • PPRC-XD Smartbits • Frame Blaster Fibre Channel Frame Level CRC This section provides information for Fibre Channel Frame Level CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check).
Fibre Channel End to End CRC 3 On the FCXL2 adapter board, frame transmission and CRC frame data integrity are controlled by separate hardware components. Upon transmission of a Fibre Channel Frame from the buffer memory to an attached Fibre Channel switch, the FCLX2 transmission hardware will generate a CRC value based upon the actual data within the frame.
Minimum Requirements for CRC 3 An Edge configured for FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining has added functionality when an End-to-End CRC error is detected. If an End-to-End CRC error occurs while Write Pipelining is active, the tape device will be repositioned to the last successful write and the Write I/Os active in the pipe at the time of the CRC error will be retried one time only. If the CRC retry is not successful bad ending status is returned.

9 Configuring Tape Device Extension This chapter contains the procedures for configuring your UltraNet Edge 3000 for Tape Device Extension over an Ethernet WAN using McDATA’s UltraNet ConfigManager configuration tool. FC/SCSI Tape Device Extension is a per port function. The same port of an Edge 3000 cannot be used for both FC/SCSI tape Pipelining and E_port functions. Edge release 3.1.2.
Network Configuration Examples 9 Network Configuration Examples The following illustrations are examples of FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining (Device Extension) network configurations. Depending upon what your network configuration consists of, each configuration has different requirements for Fibre Channel switch zoning, static Edge LUN mapping, and source WWN filtering.
Network Configuration Examples 9 Example of Bi-directional Configuration with Zoning Figure 8-2 provides an example of a bi-directional configuration using FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining. Table 8-1 defines the Fibre Channel switch zones required for this example. No static Edge LUN mapping is required for this configuration. See the “Required Fibre Channel Switch Zoning” section on page -4 to determine when zoning is necessary.
Network Configuration Examples 9 Example of Bi-directional Configuration Zoning and Optional LUN Mapping Figure 8-3 provides an example of a bi-directional configuration using FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining with Fibre Channel switch zones. The zones for this example are defined in Table 8-2. See the “Required Fibre Channel Switch Zoning” section on page -4 to determine when zoning is necessary.
Network Configuration Examples 9 Note: McDATA prefers World Wide Name (WWN) zoning over port zoning. It allows the zoning to continue working when cables are moved from port to port during switch troubleshooting. Also, when using interop mode, it is the only allowable zoning method.
Network Configuration Examples 9 Rules for Static LUN Mapping Static LUN mapping turns off automatic LUN discovery to the remote target. If any LUNs are statically configured to a remote target, then all LUNs which are to be accessed on that target must be statically mapped. A statically mapped LUN cannot be purged with the user interface wwnPurg command. The statically mapped LUN must be removed from the configuration first.
Network Configuration Examples 9 Examples of Static Edge LUN Mapping Table 8-4 and Table 8-5 are examples of how the devices shown in the example Figure 8-3 (page -4), would be statically mapped in UCM. Use these tables as references when statically mapping the LUNs for your network.

10 FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining This chapter provides an overview on FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining (Device Extension), LUN discovery, and dynamic and static mapping. FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining on the UltraNet Edge 3000 allows tape backup performance over distances up to thousands of miles. It performs over long distances without the distance performance penalty found in non-pipelined operations.
Buffering, Emulation, and Data Protection 10 This also limits device performance because the device needs to wait on each command from the host controller. Buffering, on the other hand, enables queuing of individual I/O operations from the host controller to temporary memory in the device control unit. Each time a buffered device completes one command, the next command is immediately presented for completion. This eliminates the host controller delays associated with non-buffered devices.
UltraNet Edge 3000 Specific 10 not get corrupted. For more information, see the Fibre Channel End to End CRC section in Chapter 3, Network Design Criteria. UltraNet Edge 3000 Specific The UltraNet Edge 3000’s implementation of FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining differs slightly from similar channel and device extension implementations in earlier McDATA products such as the UltraNet Storage Director and CHANNELink. These differences are described below.
Dynamic Target LUN Discovery and LUN Mapping 10 The server UltraNet Edge 3000 may also be statically configured for a specific UltraNet Edge 3000 target LUN to be bound to a designated remote target WWN. Dynamic Target LUN Discovery and LUN Mapping The following sections provide an overview of target and LUN discovery and both dynamic and static mapping. Overview When an Edge Fibre Channel interface is configured for FCP, it may be configured as an Edge target, an Edge initiator or both.
Dynamic Target LUN Discovery and LUN Mapping 10 Target discovery is not aware of device type or available LUNs on the discovered target. LUN Discovery A maximum of 32 devices can be discovered or configured unidirectionally per I/O pair. Available bandwidth should be considered for concurrent operation of the drives. As targets are discovered, those targets will be queried for available devices via LUN discovery.
Dynamic Target LUN Discovery and LUN Mapping 10 Managing the WWN to Edge Target LUNs 10-6 The user may manage discovered WWNs to Edge target LUN bindings via the command line interface. Any or all learned WWN bindings may be purged. A list of purged WWNs is maintained so that those WWNs will not be rediscovered unless the user releases the purged list. Any newly discovered remote targets will be dynamically bound to the Edge target LUN mapping, replacing the purged WWNs.

I Using the Spantree Portfast Command for Cisco Routers This appendix provides information about the spantree portfast command for Cisco routers. When a WAN link goes down and comes back up quickly, the virtual circuit may take from 30 to 90 seconds to re-establish itself. The spantree portfast command allows the Cisco router port that is directly connected to the UltraNet Edge 3000 to recover faster.
Issuing the Spantree Portfast Command The following example demonstrates how to enable the spanning-tree port fast-start feature on a port 2 of module 1: Console> (enable) set spantree portfast 1/2 enable Warning: Spantree port fast start should only be enabled on ports connected to a single host. Connecting hubs, concentrators, switches, bridges, etc. to a fast start port can cause temporary spanning tree loops. Use with caution. Spantree port 1/2 fast start enabled.

Glossary bandwidth The width of a communications channel measured in Hertz - cycles per second. In digital communications, bandwidth is measured in bits per second (bps). BB_Credit Buffer to Buffer Credit, a flow control method that maintains counters for outstanding frames between two connected Fibre Channel hops.
Glossary E_port E_port is an expansion port on a switch that is used to connect to another switch via its E_port. There are three "basic" types of fibre channel ports; N_port, F_port, and E_port. See F_port or N_port for more information. electrostatic discharge Static electricity that builds up due to movement. Also, the static electricity that exists in the air that will discharge on to electronic equipment. ESD See electrostatic discharge.
Glossary FC/IP Fibre Channel over IP (FC/IP, also known as Fibre Channel tunneling or storage tunneling) is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking technology developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). FC/IP mechanisms enable the transmission of Fibre Channel (FC) information by tunneling data between storage area network (SAN) facilities over IP networks; this capacity facilitates data sharing over a geographically distributed enterprise.
Glossary g-4 IP Abbreviation of Internet Protocol, pronounced as two separate letters. IP specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transport Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source.
Glossary mirroring A fault tolerance method in which a backup data storage device maintains data identical to that on the primary device and can replace the primary if it fails. N_port N_port is a node port, or a port on a disk or computer. An N_port can only communicate with another N_port on another node, or to a switch. NL_port Node Loop port; a port supporting the Arbitrated Loop protocol.
Glossary g-6 PVC Abbreviation for permanent virtual circuit, a virtual circuit that is permanently available. The only difference between a PVC and a switched virtual circuit (SVC) is that an SVC must be reestablished each time data is to be sent. Once the data has been sent, the SVC disappears. PVCs are more efficient for connections between hosts that communicate frequently. router The central switching device of the Internet, corporate Intranets, and WANs.
Glossary Storage Area Networking A high-speed network that establishes a direct connection between storage devices and servers, thereby externalizing storage from the the server and allowing information to be shared among multiple host servers without affecting performance of the primary network. striping A RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) term. The process of dividing a large logical block of data into multiple physical blocks of equal size for storage on multiple disk drives.
Glossary Zoning g-8 A feature in Fabric switches or hubs that allow segmentation of a node by physical port, name, or address.
