1 General Description This section describes the features and capabilities of the QLogic 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch. The following topics are described: Hardware Overview Maintenance Panel I/O Blades CPU Blades Power Supply Blades Fan Blades Fabric and Switch Management Hardware Overview The QLogic 9000 Series switch is set of up to eight I/O blades interconnected with all other I/O blades through the midplane.
1–General Description Hardware Overview I/O blades are ordered separately so that you can specify how many I/O blades you want and what types. To maintain proper air flow and cooling, blank panels are installed in empty I/O slots. The following I/O blade types are available: 16-port 4-Gbps I/O blade 16-port 8-Gbps I/O blade 4-port 10-Gbps I/O blade Figure 1-1 shows a QLogic Model 9200 switch, two I/O blades, and the corresponding blade IDs.
1–General Description Maintenance Panel I/O blades (IO0–IO7), CPU blades (CPU0, CPU1), Power Supply blades (PS0, PS1), and the Fan blades (FAN0, FAN1) are identified based on where they are installed in the chassis. The Maintenance Panel (MP) is not removable and provides switch status and alternate access to the CPU blade LEDs and Ethernet ports. Maintenance Panel The Maintenance Panel provides a status interface for the switch and alternate Ethernet ports for the two CPU blades as shown in Figure 1-2.
1–General Description I/O Blades Initially, the alternate Ethernet ports are inactive, thus requiring that you make the Ethernet connection on the primary CPU blade. You can activate the alternate primary Ethernet port on the Maintenance Panel using QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or the CLI. NOTE: You can activate both Maintenance Panel Ethernet ports or both CPU blade Ethernet ports by installing the Fault Tolerant license key. Refer to “Installing Feature License Keys” on page 3-28.
1–General Description I/O Blades Fibre Channel ports are numbered based on the blade ID as shown in Figure 1-3. For example, for I/O blade IO0 with blade type FC8G16 or FC4G16, ports are always numbered 0–15. IO1 ports would be numbered 16–31, and so on up to a maximum of 127. For I/O blade IO0 with blade type FC10G4, ports are always numbered 0–3. FC ports can also be identified by I/O blade and port number. For example, port 0 is also known as IO0-0.
1–General Description I/O Blades I/O Blade LEDs The I/O blade LEDs are as follows: I/O Blade Good LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the I/O blade is operational. I/O Blade Power LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the I/O blade is receiving power. I/O Blade Fault LED (Amber)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the I/O blade has a fatal error. This LED and the Chassis Fault LED illuminate together.
1–General Description I/O Blades Port Types The switch supports generic ports (G_Port, GL_Port), fabric ports (F_Port, FL_Port), and expansion ports (E_Port). Switches come from the factory with all ports configured as GL_Ports. Generic, fabric, and expansion ports function as follows: A GL_Port self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a public loop device, as an F_Port when connected to a single public device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch.
1–General Description I/O Blades Transceivers and 10-Gbps Stacking Cables SFP and X2 transceivers convert electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive. SFP transceivers plug into the SFP ports; X2 transceivers plug into the X2 ports. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers, which then connect to the devices.
1–General Description CPU Blades CPU Blades The CPU blade, shown in Figure 1-4, provides configuration, monitoring, data path management, and control functions. The switch has two CPU blades which are identified by their blade IDs: CPU0 and CPU1.Initially, CPU0 is the primary CPU blade and controls all management functions. CPU1 is the secondary CPU blade and provides redundant interconnections for all ports through the switch midplane.
1–General Description CPU Blades CPU Blade LEDs The CPU blade LEDs indicated the operating condition of the CPU blade. The CPU Good LED, CPU Heartbeat LED, and CPU Primary LED are replicated on the Maintenance Panel. The CPU blade LEDs are as follows: 1-10 CPU Good LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the CPU blade is operational. In maintenance mode, this LED is off. CPU Fault LED (Amber)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the CPU blade has a fatal error.
1–General Description CPU Blades Maintenance Button The Maintenance button is a dual-function momentary switch on the CPU blade. Its purpose is to reset a CPU blade or to place the switch in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode is used to recover the switch when flash memory or the resident configuration file is corrupted. Refer to “Recovering a Switch Using Maintenance Mode” on page 4-15 for more information about using maintenance mode.
1–General Description CPU Blades Ethernet Port Each CPU blade has an Ethernet port and a serial port.The Ethernet port is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port automatically recognizes straight or cross-over cables. The default IP address for the CPU0 Ethernet port is 10.0.0.1. Initially, only the CPU0 blade Ethernet port is active.
1–General Description Power Supply Blades Serial Port The serial port is an RJ-45 connector and uses a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet straight cable with the RJ-45/RS-232 console adapter provided with the switch. You manage the switch through the primary CPU blade serial port using the CLI. Inter-Chassis Connection Ports NOTE: You can activate the Inter-Chassis Connection ports by installing the HyperStack license key. Refer to “HyperStacking” on page 3-29 for information about HyperStacking switches.
1–General Description Power Supply Blades Each Power Supply blade has an AC power receptacle, an On/Off switch, and a set of LEDs as shown in Figure 1-5. The Power Supply blade LEDs are as follows: Power Supply Power LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the Power Supply blade is operational. Power Supply Fault LED (Amber)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the Power Supply blade has a fault. This LED and the Chassis Fault LED illuminate together.
1–General Description Fan Blades Fan Blades The switch is equipped with two Fan blades that cool the switch. Both Fan blades must be installed and operational to provide adequate cooling for the switch. The Fan blades are hot pluggable and interchangeable. Refer to “Replacing Fan Blades” on page 5-21 for information about removing and installing Fan blades. Fan blades are known by their blade IDs and blade type. The blade IDs (FAN0, FAN1) indicate the blade type and location in the switch chassis.
1–General Description Fabric and Switch Management Fabric and Switch Management The switch supports the following management tools: Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 QuickTools Command Line Interface Application Programming Interface Simple Network Management Protocol Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S) File Transfer Protocols Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 is a workstation-based Java® application that provides a graphical user interface for
1–General Description Fabric and Switch Management QuickTools To provide basic fabric management tools in a graphical user interface and to make switch management less dependent on a particular platform, each switch contains an web applet called QuickTools. You run QuickTools by opening the switch IP address with an internet browser. You will be prompted to install the Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment application if it is not already installed on your workstation.
1–General Description Fabric and Switch Management Command Line Interface The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Command Line Interface Guide for more information.
2 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Feature Licensing Multiple Chassis Fabrics Switch Services Internet Protocol Support Security Fabric Management Devices When planning a fabric, consider the following: The number of devices and the anticipated demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and the number of switches. The transmission speeds of your HBAs and SFPs.
2–Planning Device Access Device Access Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of zones and zone sets. Some zoning strategies include the following: Separate devices by operating system Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or have classified data. Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group. Zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic.
2–Planning Performance Performance The QLogic 9000 Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, and 10-Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. A port adapts its transmission speed to match that of the device to which it is connected prior to login when the connected device powers up.
2–Planning Performance Regardless of how many credits are borrowed, extending credits requires a minimum cable length that is dependent on transmission speed. Extending credits over short cables can result in excessive port resets. Table 2-2 describes the distances that are possible for a port with 30 credits and the minimum cable lengths. Table 2-2. Extended Credit Distances and Cable Lengths Transmission Speed Range for 30 Credits Minimum Cable Length 1-Gbps 50 Km (30÷0.
2–Planning Feature Licensing Latency Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels from one port to another. The factors that affect latency include transmission rate and the source/destination port relationship as shown in Table 2-3. Table 2-3. Port-to-Port Latency Source Rate Destination Rate a Gbps 2 4 8 10 2 < 0.4 µsec < 0.4 µsec a < 0.6 µsec1 < 0.4 µsec1 4 < 0.3 µsec < 0.3 µsec < 0.4 µsec1 < 0.3 µsec1 8 < 0.3 µsec < 0.2 µsec < 0.2 µsec < 0.2 µsec1 10 < 0.3 µsec < 0.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Multiple Chassis Fabrics By connecting switches together you can expand the number of available ports for devices. Each switch in the fabric is identified by a unique domain ID, and the fabric can automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel ports are self-configuring, you can connect the QLogic 9000 Series switch with other switches in a wide variety of topologies.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Optimizing Device Performance When choosing a topology for a multiple chassis fabric, you should also consider the locality of your server and storage devices and the performance requirements of your application. Storage applications such as video distribution, medical record storage/retrieval or real-time data acquisition can have specific latency or bandwidth requirements. The QLogic 9000 Series switch provides the lowest latency of any product in its class.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics: Domain ID Principal priority Domain ID lock The domain ID is a unique number from 1–239 that identifies each switch in a fabric. The principal priority is a number (1–255) that determines the principal switch which manages domain ID assignments for the fabric.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Interconnecting QLogic 9000 Series Switches There are three ways to interconnect QLogic 9000 Series switches. The method you choose depends on your port count and bandwidth needs: SFP port-to-SFP port X2 port-to-X2 port ICC port-to-ICC port An SFP-port connection provides up to 1700 MB of full duplex bandwidth for a FC8G16 I/O blade, while sacrificing an SFP port that would otherwise be available for devices.
2–Planning Switch Services Switch Services You can configure your switch to suit the demands of your environment by enabling or disabling a variety of switch services. Familiarize yourself with the following switch services and determine which ones you need: 2-10 Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection. Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is enabled. Secure Shell (SSH): Provides for secure remote connections to the switch using SSH.
2–Planning Switch Services Common Information Model (CIM): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S). The default is enabled. File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Provides for transferring files rapidly between the workstation and the switch using FTP. The default is enabled. Management Server (MS): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use GS-3 Management Server.
2–Planning Internet Protocol Support Internet Protocol Support The switch supports IP version 4, IP version 6, and Domain Name System (DNS) host names. IP versions 4 and 6 are enabled by default. Consider your IP version requirements and the availability of a DNS server.
2–Planning Security IP Security IP Security provides encryption-based security for IP version 4 and IP version 6 communications through the use of security policies and associations. Policies can define security for host-to-host, host-to-gateway, and gateway-to-gateway connections; one policy for each direction.
2–Planning Security Consider your requirements for connection security: for the command line interface (SSH), management applications such as Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 (SSL), or both. Access to the device security menu selections in Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 requires an SSL connection. If an SSL connection security is required, also consider using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize workstations and switches.
2–Planning Security Consider the devices, switches, and management agents and evaluate the need for authorization and authentication. Also consider whether the security database is to be distributed on the switches or centralized on a RADIUS server and how many servers to configure.
2–Planning Security 1. Create a security set (Security_Set_1) on Switch_1. a. Create a port group (Group_Port_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1, HBA_1, and JBOD as members.
2–Planning Security b. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members. The Switch_1 secret must be shared with the Switch_2 security database. Switch_1 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef Binding: None Switch_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4e Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: abcdef abcdef012 Binding: None 2.
2–Planning Security Security Example: RADIUS Server Consider the fabric shown in Figure 2-3. This fabric is similar to the one shown in Figure 2-2 with the addition of Radius_1 acting as a RADIUS server.
2–Planning Security 1. 59229-05 A Configure the Radius_1 host as a RADIUS server on Switch_1 and Switch_2 to authenticate device logins. Specify the server IP address and the secret with which the switches will authenticate with the server. Configure the switches so that devices authenticate through the switches only if the RADIUS server is unavailable. Device Authentication Order RadiusLocal – Authenticate devices using the RADIUS server security database first.
2–Planning Security 2. Create a security set (Security_Set_1) on Switch_1. a. 2-20 Create a port group (Group_Port_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1 and HBA_1 as members.
2–Planning Security b. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members. The Switch_1 secret must be shared with the Switch_2 security database. Switch_1 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef Binding: None Switch_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4e Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: abcdefabcdef012 Binding: None 3.
2–Planning Security Security Example: Host Authentication Consider the fabric shown in Figure 2-4. In this fabric, only Switch_2 and HBA_2/APP_2 support security, where APP_2 is a host application. The objective is to secure the management server on Switch_2 from unauthorized access by an HBA or an associated host application.
2–Planning Security 59229-05 A 1. Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. 2. Create a Management Server group (Group_1) in Security_Set_2 with Switch_2 and HBA_2 or APP_2 as its member. You must specify HBAs by node worldwide name. Switches can be specified by port or node worldwide name. The type of switch worldwide name you use in the switch security database must be the same as that in the HBA security database.
2–Planning Fabric Management Fabric Management The Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application executes on a management workstation that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics. Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, Linux, and MacOS X. The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the command line interface (CLI) reside in the switch firmware and provide for the management of individual switches in a single fabric.
