StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switches	HP supports three product lines of Fibre Channel switch products that may be used to build SAN fabrics. Each product line provides certain advantages that apply to specific applications. For more information on specific switch models and selection, please refer to Chapter 2 in the SAN Design Guidelines: http://www.hp.com/go/SANDesignGuide The B-Series product line includes a wide range of Fibre Channel switches, described as "SAN switches" and "Core switches." Products in this family include switches from the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 to the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64. This product line includes switches with 8, 16, 32, and 64 ports, including both full-function and entry-level models. The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 includes a pair of independent 64-port switches in a single chassis with a high level internal redundancy. The C-Series product line includes the Cisco MDS 9506 and 9509 Multilayer Directors and the Cisco MDS 9216, 9120, and 9140 Multilayer Fabric Switches. The MDS 9506 is supported with 224 ports, over seven modular chassis consisting of both 16-port and 32-port modules. The MDS 9506 is supported with 128 ports, over four modular chassis consisting of both 16 port and 32 port modules. The MDS 9216 has a basic configuration with 16 ports. It has an expansion slot that supports either a 16- or a 32-port card, for 32 or 48 ports in total. The M-Series Fabric product line includes a wide range of Fibre Channel switches described as "Directors" and "Edge switches." A partial list of products in this family includes the HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 and the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32. This product line includes switches with 16, 24, 32, 64, and 140 ports internal microcode. The HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 and 2/140 switches have a high level of internal redundancy.

Step 14 – MEMORY CHANNEL – Optional

Tru64 UNIX Systems	Requires Tru64 UNIX V5.0A or later and either TruCluster Server license (QL-6BRAC-AA) or TruCluster Plus Software Package (QP-6R9AC-AA).

OpenVMS Systems	Requires OpenVMS V7.1-2 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license (QL-MUZAC-AA).

Configuring Information	Up to two PCI-to-System Area Network adapters (CCMAB-BA) are supported in a single system. Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-BA for each node and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-BA in each node. For a two-node cluster that will not need to be rebooted when adding additional members, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster. For three- or four- node clusters, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster. Up to two PCI-to-System Area Network adapters (CCMAB-BA) are supported in a single system. Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-BA for each node and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-BA in each node. For a two-node cluster that will not need to be rebooted when adding additional members, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster. For three- or four- node clusters, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster. CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes; expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four CCMLB-AA line cards. If two CCMAB-AAs are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA is required for greater than 2 node configurations. If nodes must be separated by a distance longer than standard copper cables allow the CCMFB option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters.) The CCMFB option requires a second PCI slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the prerequisite CCMAB controller with the short BN39B-01 cable provided with the CCMFB. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fiber optic connections. CCMHB-BA hub does not contain any line cards and can be used to plug in up to eight CCMFB fiber optic converters. Two standard length single-mode fiber optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally provide this fiber optic connection. Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and has no performance impact. For integration of MEMORY CHANNEL hubs into cabinet configurations, a rackmount kit (2T-MAVRK-AA) and power cord (BN35S-02) are required. Please refer to Systems and Options Listing at – http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/options/asds15a/ asds15a_options.html or additional configuration information and restrictions.
