Software Components, Standard, Base Models

Frame Filtering

An ASIC based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to

"view" the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced

capabilities such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring.

Advanced Zoning

WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple

administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric

into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.

Web Tools

Web Tools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor

and manage SAN fabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a

standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.

EGM

Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and

enables multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time

and streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across

fabrics, while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration

mismatches. EGM provides streamlined troubleshooting for more effective fabric monitoring and

diagnosis.

HP SAN Network Advisor Professional, Professional Plus, and Enterprise enable EGM functionality.

Customers have EGM functionality enabled within the hardware product and need only to make the

decision around which management application is right for them.

In-flight Compression

and Encryption

In-flight compression optimizes network performance within the data center and over long-distance

links. Data is compressed at the source and uncompressed at the destination. Performance varies by

data type, but generally achieve 2:1 compression with minimal impact on performance. Compression

can be used in conjunction with in-flight encryption.

In-flight encryption minimizes the risk of unauthorized access for traffic within the data center and

over long-distance links. It is switch-to-switch encryption, not device or data-at-rest encryption. Data

is encrypted at the source and decrypted at the destination. Encryption and decryption are performed

in hardware using the AES-GCM-256 algorithm, minimizing any impact on performance. Encryption can

be used in conjunction with in-flight compression. This is complementary to data-at-rest encryption

provided by the Encryption SAN Switch and the Encryption Blade for B-series SAN Directors.

Adaptive Networking

Adaptive Networking (AN) is an optional family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic

movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources.

Applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the

following features:

Ingress Rate Limiting:

Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN

node. This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.

Quality of Service (QoS):

Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can

be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.

Traffic Isolation Zones:

Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if

the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred

path fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application,

priority, and topology.

Server Application

Optimization

Server Application Optimization (SAO) improves overall application performance for physical servers

and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with B-Series Fibre Channel HBAs, extends B-Series

Adaptive Networking from the B-series SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers

application-level, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server

applications.

Fabric Vision

Fabric Vision offers innovative diagnostic, monitoring and management capabilities to help accelerate

new application deployments, address SAN problems before they impact operations and reduce

operational costs. It Includes

Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite: A policy-based monitoring tool with pre-built rules and

automation that simplifies fabric-wide threshold configuration and monitoring.

Flow Vision: A comprehensive tool that enables administrators to identify, monitor, and

analyze specific application data flows without using taps to ensure optimized performance

Health and performance dashboard: A single customizable screen displayed in HP SAN

Network Advisor that contains all critical SAN information for convenient review and analysis

Fabric Vision will be included by default in all HP StoreFabric B-series Fibre Channel switches and

Directors bundled with Power Pack+ (with FOS 7.2.x and later*). In all other cases, Fabric Vision can be

enabled on HP StoreFabric B-series Fibre Channel switches and Directors in any one of the following

ways

Application of the Fabric Vision LTU (FOS 7.2.x and later*)

Application of the Power Pack+ LTU (FOS 7.2.x and later*)

Upgrading existing Switch/Director loaded with Power Pack+ to FOS 7.2.x or later*

Upgrading existing Switch/Director loaded with both Advanced Performance Monitor (APM)

and Fabric Watch (FW) licenses to FOS 7.2.x or later*

*See HP SPOCK for HP supported versions of FOS 7.2.x

Fabric Watch

Fabric Watch is an optional license which enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults

and automatically alert network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch

tracks a variety of SAN fabric elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports,

SFPs, and environmental parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as

performance measurement. Each switch in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.

Advanced Performance

Monitor

This optional enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics --

from a SID (Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID) -- so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more

efficiently. Plus, Advanced Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of

hot spots within the fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall balanced performance.

Top Talkers is a component of Advanced Performance Monitoring and tracks the top traffic flows for

hosts and targets for a switch port or a switch. Top Talkers can help identify the ports that need

certain Quality of Service (QoS) attributes or it can help determine portions of the physical topology

that need reconfiguration.

Extended Fabric

Optional license which extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre

Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre

Channel standard.

ISL Trunking

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight E-ports to

provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 16Gb switch needs its own license. The

switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 128Gb) when

routing connections between 16Gb switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual

links, which comprise the logical trunk group.

SAN Network Advisor

Professional

HP SAN Network Advisor Professional is a server based management application available at no-

charge that comes with B-series SAN Switches and includes the following features:

Allows management of a single Fabric OS (FOS) fabric (up to a 1,000 B-Series switch ports)

Performs group switch management beyond the scope of Web Tools

Does not offer management for the DC SAN Backbone Director, the SN8000B Director, or

FICON

It is targeted for SMB customers that use FOS based SAN fabrics and require a management solution

for smaller SANs based on a single fabric.

SMB customers that initially start off with SAN Network Advisor Professional and have a small SAN

environment may over time feel the need for an enterprise-class product (SAN Network Advisor

Enterprise) as their environments start to grow in size and complexity, and as they start to uptake

more enterprise-class functionality (such as Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, etc.). A non-disruptive

upgrade path is available from SAN Network Advisor Professional to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise.

SAN Network Advisor

Enterprise and

Professional+

HP SAN Network Advisor Enterprise and Professional+ are the enterprise-class products that support

FOS products. SAN Network Advisor Enterprise provides complete B-series Directors Management

including enterprise-class features/environments such as FICON, Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, adaptive

networking, etc. while SAN Network Advisor Professional+ provides the same feature set except for

support for the DC SAN Backbone Director, SN8000B 8-Slot Director, and FICON.

SAN Network Advisor Enterprise delivers unprecedented scalability, up to 24 fabrics and 9,000 switch

ports, while SAN Network Advisor Professional+ scales to 4 SAN Fabrics and 2560 switch ports. There

is an upgrade available from SAN Network Advisor Professional Plus to SAN Network Advisor

Enterprise.

Integrated Routing

Integrated Routing is an optional license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per-

port basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing switch or blade. Just like

traditional FCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling

selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation. Integrated Routing provides

architecture flexibility to route on a port-by-port basis, enabling increased scalability and fault

isolation.
