Suggested configurations

The configuration shown in Figure 1 is implemented

using two MPX200 Multifunction Router chassis with a

single blade in each and one or two long-distance links.

The configuration shown in Figure 2 is implemented

using two MPX200 Multifunction Router chassis with two

blades each and one or two long-distance links,

providing a higher level of availability. The configuration

shown in Figure 3 is a fully redundant implementation

using two MPX200 Multifunction Router chassis with two

blades each and two independent long-distance links.

Figure 4 shows a basic FCIP configuration with a local

single blade MPX200 chassis and a remote IP Distance

Gateway (mpx110).

For other supported configurations, including using the

MPX200 with FCIP and iSCSI simultaneously, see the

HP MPX200 Multifunction Router User Guide available

on the HP website

http://www.hp.com/go/mpx200

Step 1. Verify your system requirements

Verify that you have the following for both the local site

and the remote site (Figure 1):

• HP MPX200 Multifunction Router 1–GbE Base

Chassis (MPX200)

◦ Or HP MPX200 Multifunction Router 10–1 GbE

Base Chassis (MPX200).

NOTE: FCIP is currently supported only

on MPX200 1 GbE ports.

◦ HP MPX200 Half Chassis FCIP License

P10000/3PAR Remote Copy software

• P6000/EVA3000/4x00/5000/6x00/8x00,

P9000/XP24000/20000/12000/10000, or 3PAR

P10000/V-Class, F-Class, T-Class storage systems

• FC fabrics consisting of B-series, C-series, or H-series

switches

• Cat 5e network cable, three per site (mgmt, (2)

FCIP))

• Optical small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver

and FC cable, two per site

network cable

Additional equipment for the local site and remote site

(Figure 2 and Figure 3) is as follows:

• HP MPX200 Multifunction Router 1–GbE Upgrade

Blade (MPX200 blade for redundancy)

◦ Or HP MPX200 Multifunction Router 10–1 GbE

Upgrade Blade.

NOTE: FCIP is currently supported only

Step 2. Pre-installation checklist

Before you begin the configuration process, contact your

system administrator for the following information for

both sites:

• IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the

MPX200 management port (if not using DHCP)

• IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the first

available GE port

• IP address of the remote MPX200 that connects to

the first available GE port

• IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the

second available GE port

• IP address of the remote MPX200 that connects to

the second available GE port

• FCIP Link Parameters; Guaranteed Bandwidth,

Round-Trip-Time, Quality Of Service, VLAN/Priority

(for more information, see the HP MPX200

Multifunction Router User Guide).

Step 3. Rack-mount the MPX200
