Page 20: Director Description
Overview Director Description The director is a second-generation, 64-port product that provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a SAN environment. Directors are managed and controlled through a HAFM server with the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) and Director 2/64 Product Manager applications installed.
Page 21: Features
Overview Features Features of the Director 2/64 include: Scalable from 32 to 64 User ports (with optional UPM 2 Gb add-on) 100% dynamic non-blocking, cut through switching with congestion queuing Online error detection, error isolation, and error recovery Redundant, hot-pluggable components Full duplex 200 MB/sec per port performance Less than 2-µs average switch latency 100-km distance support (60 buffers), with use of repeaters...

Page 23 Overview Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the HAFM server. An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the director (port access is password-protected) that enables installation or service personnel to change the director’s internet protocol (IP) address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
Page 24: Zoning
Overview Product Manager application on the HAFM server to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions. Note: For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, refer to HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches Zoning The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones.
Page 25: Multi-Switch Fabrics
Overview Multi-Switch Fabrics A Fibre Channel topology that consists of one or more interconnected directors or switch elements is called a fabric. Operational software provides the ability to interconnect directors (through expansion port (E_Port) connections) to form a multi-switch fabric. The data transmission path through the fabric is typically determined by fabric elements and is user-transparent.
Page 26 Overview Port segmentation—When an ISL activates, directors exchange operating parameters to determine if they are compatible and can join to form a single fabric. If they are incompatible, the connecting E_Port at each director segments to prevent the creation of a single fabric. A segmented link transmits only Class F traffic;...
Page 27: Hardware Components
Overview Hardware Components The Director provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs. The following sections define Director 2/64 main components. Front View Figure 1 shows Director 2/64 components accessible from the front of the Director. Component descriptions follow the figure. Power and system error LEDs Cable management assembly UPM cards...
Page 28: Ctp2 Card
Overview CTP2 Card The Director 2/64 ships with two Control Processor (CTP2) cards. The active CTP2 card initializes and configures the director after power on, and contains the microprocessor and associated logic that coordinate director operation. The second CTP2 card serves as a backup. A CTP2 card provides an Initial Machine Load (IML) button on the faceplate.
Page 29: Cable Management Assembly
Overview Cable Management Assembly The cable management assembly positioned at the front of the director provides routing for Ethernet cables attached to CTP2 cards and fiber-optic cables attached to director ports. The assembly rotates up to provide front access to the redundant power supplies.
Page 30 Overview Depending on device connections, G_Ports work as follows: If the G_Port is attached to a Fibre Channel device, the port functions as a fabric port (F_Port). An F_Port is the interface on a director that connects to a device N_Port. If the G_Port is attached to another director to form an Interswitch Link (ISL), the port functions as an expansion port (E_Port).

Page 92: Rerouting Delay
Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64 Rerouting Delay Placing a check mark in the check box to the left of the Rerouting Delay option enables rerouting delay. This option is only applicable if the configured director is in a multi-switch fabric. The default state is enabled. Enabling the rerouting delay ensures that frames are delivered in order through the fabric to their destination.
Page 93: Director Speed
Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64 This option is enabled (check box not selected) by default. In most cases this option should be enabled so that attached devices can receive notification of zoning changes in the fabric. However, some HBAs may log out, then log back into the fabric when they receive an RSCN, thereby disrupting Fibre Channel traffic.
Page 94: Fabric Parameters
Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64 Figure 42: Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box 3. Use information under “Fabric Parameters” to change settings as required for parameters in this dialog box. 4. After you change settings, click the Activate button. 5.

Page 95: E_D_Tov
Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64 Note: Set the same value for R_A_TOV on all directors and edge switches in a multi-switch fabric. If the value is not the same on all units, the fabric segments. Also, the value for R_A_TOV must be greater than the value configured for E_D_TOV. E_D_TOV Adjust the E_D_TOV in tenth-of-a-second increments.
Page 96 Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64 At least one director in a multi-switch fabric needs to be set as Principal or Default. If all of the directors are set to Never Principal, all of the interswitch links (ISLs) will segment. If all but one director is set to Never Principal and the director that was principal goes offline, then all of the other ISLs will segment.
Page 97: Interop Mode
Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64 Interop Mode Choose one of the following options: Homogeneous Fabric—Choose this mode if the fabric contains only HP directors and edge switches that are operating in Homogeneous Fabric mode. Open Fabric 1.0—Default. Choose this mode if the fabric contains HP directors and edge switches, as well as other open-fabric compliant switches.
