Network manageability

The DC SAN Director has a single domain and is managed as a single element with the optional

FM GUI application. The DC SAN Director responds to its own IP address and appears as a

separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.

All management interfaces, such as Telnet, WebTools, standards compliant SMI-S, and Management

Server, support a port N within blade M naming scheme.

The DC SAN Director supports SNMPv1 and SNPMv3. When SNMP devices send SNMP messages

to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in a MIB.

Fabric OS 6.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance FCMGMT and SMI MIBs. These MIBs provide the

SAN administrator with information for monitoring the network. For more information, see the

Fabric OS MIB Reference Guide.

Optional software licenses

DC SAN Director optional software kits are listed below:

• HP StoreFabric B-series 8Gb and 16Gb SAN Director Switch Fabric Vision LTU

• HP DC SAN Director ICL Bundle Kit

Increases the number of ports using four ICLs or cables that interconnect a maximum of two

DC SAN Director chassis. Each ICL Bundle Kit contains:

◦ Four 2-meter copper cables

◦ Two ICL Licenses (one license required for each DC SAN Director)

• HP DC SAN Director Switches 16 Inter-Chassis Link LTU

This additional full duplex connection provides an additional 1 Tbit/sec of bandwidth and

does not consume usable ports. ICL connections operate as hardware trunked ISLs.

NOTE: Each DC SAN Director requires a license for ICL connectivity. TA641A is supported

only on the DC SAN Backbone Director. HP DC SAN Director ICL Cable Kit (AR480A) is

required for the physical connection.

• HP Encryption Blade Performance Upgrade

The Encryption Blade has a standard capacity of 48 Gb/s of encryption processing power.

Additional encryption processing power can be added for disk I/O by purchasing and

installing an Encryption Blade Disk Performance Upgrade. When the performance upgrade

license is applied, encryption processing power of up to 96 Gb/s is available.
