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.

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, or HTML5 (FOS 9.x and later), Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.

In-flight Compression

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.

Adaptive Networking

Adaptive Networking (AN) is a 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.

Fabric Vision

Fabric Vision technology provides a breakthrough hardware and software solution that helps simplify that helps simplify monitoring, availability, increase operational stability, and dramatically reduce costs. Featuring innovative monitoring, management, and diagnostic capabilities, Fabric Vision technology enables administrators to avoid problems before they impact operations, helping their organizations meet SLAs. Fabric Vision Includes:

- Dashboards: Provides integrated dashboards that display an overall SAN health view, along with details on out-of-range conditions, to help administrators easily identify trends and quickly pinpoint issues occurring on a switch or in a fabric.

- IO Insight: proactively monitors IO performance and behavior through integrated network sensors, providing deep insight into problems and helping to ensure service levels. This capability non-disruptively and non-intrusively gathers IO statistics from any device port, then feeds them to a monitoring policy that sets thresholds and generates alerts.

- VM Insight: This software applies IO Insight visibility for each Virtual Machine (VM). Integrated VM, application & device-level IO latency and IOPS monitoring enables administrators to set the baseline for application performance and identify the VM or physical layer responsible for the degraded performance.

- Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS): Simplifies fabric-wide threshold configuration, monitoring, and alerting with pre-built, rule- or policy-based templates. Administrators can configure the entire fabric (or multiple fabrics) at one time using common rules and policies, or customize policies for specific ports or switch elements. In addition, administrators can use IO Insight metrics to set thresholds in MAPS policies in order to be notified of application, VM, and storage IO performance degradation.

- Fabric Performance Impact (FPI) Monitoring: Leverages predefined MAPS policies to automatically detect and alert administrators to different latency severity levels, and to identify slow drain devices that could impact network performance. This feature identifies various latency severity levels, pinpointing exactly which devices are causing or are impacted by a bottlenecked port, and quarantines slow drain devices automatically to prevent buffer credit starvation.

- Configuration and Operational Monitoring Policy Automation Services Suite (COMPASS): Simplifies deployment, safeguards consistency, and increases operational efficiencies of larger environments with automated switch and fabric configuration services. Administrators can configure a template or adopt an existing configuration to seamlessly deploy a configuration across the fabric.

- ClearLink Diagnostics: Ensures optical and signal integrity for Fibre Channel optics and cables, simplifying deployment and support of high-performance fabrics. ClearLink Diagnostic Port (D_Port) is an advanced capability of Fibre Channel platforms.

- Flow Vision: A comprehensive tool that enables administrators to identify, monitor, and analyze specific application data flows in order to simplify troubleshooting, maximize performance and avoid congestion without using taps to ensure optimized performance:

• Flow Monitor: Provides comprehensive visibility, automatic learning, and non-disruptive monitoring of a flow's performance.  Administrators can monitor all flows from a specific host to multiple targets or volumes, from multiple hosts to a specific target/volume, or across a specific ISL. Additionally, they can perform volume-level monitoring of specific frame types to identify resource contention or congestion that is impacting application performance. With the IO Insight capability, administrators can monitor first IO response time, IO completion time, the number of pending IOs, and IOPS metrics for a flow from a specific host to a target or volume running SCSI or NVMe over Fibre Channel traffic. With VM Insight, administrators can monitor network throughput and IO statistics for each VM.

• Flow Learning: Enables administrators to non-disruptively discover all flows that go to or come from a specific host port or a storage port, or traverse ISLs/IFLs or FCIP tunnels, to monitor fabric-wide application performance. In addition, administrators can discover top and bottom bandwidth-consuming devices and manage capacity planning.
• Flow Generator: Provides a built-in traffic generator for pretesting and validating the data center infrastructure for robustness-including route verification and integrity of optics, cables, ports, back-end connections, and ISLs-before deploying applications.
• Flow Mirroring: Enables administrators to non-disruptively create copies of specific application and data flows or frame types that can be captured for in-depth analysis.

- Credit Loss Recovery: Automatically detects and recovers buffer credit loss at the Virtual Channel (VC) level, providing protection against performance degradation and enhancing application availability.

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 32 Gbps SFP+ ports per ISL trunk or up to two 128 Gbps QSFP ports per ISL trunk to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 32Gb switch needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 256Gb) when routing connections between 32Gb switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.

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.

HPE SANnav Management Software

HPE SANnav Management Software is the next-generation SAN management application suite for HPE B-series SAN environments. It consists of SANnav Management Portal Software and SANnav Global View Software:

- SANnav Global View helps administrators visualize the health, performance and inventory of multiple SANnav Management Portal instances at data centers across the globe or a single multi-tenant data center using a simple, intelligent dashboard.SANnav Management Portal and SANnav Global View not only transform SAN telemetry data into useful insights, such as health and performance scores, but also enable administrators to quickly associate real-time data with historical metrics and logs for in-depth analysis. This can help with spotting trends, establishing baselines, and identifying any behavioral changes over time.

- HPE SANnav Management Software is available as a term-license for 1-year, 3-years and 5-years period as both - physical and electronic License-to-Use (LTU). It supports 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb FC Switches and Directors.

HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR

HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR, which is included with HPE 3PAR All-inclusive software and is optionally available for 3PAR systems without All-inclusive software. Smart SAN for 3PAR simplifies and automates traditional error-prone and tedious SAN zoning and host provisioning to just a few clicks or complex zoning configurations in minutes orchestrated from 3PAR. This allows a storage administrator to zone and provision the SAN with little or no FC expertise.  It is an application embedded in SAN components (array, hosts and switches) that enables 3PAR arrays to orchestrate configuration, settings and policies across the SAN. Smart SAN is supported with HPE B-series Switches,  Fibre Channel adapters (HBAs) and 3PAR storage. HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR through takes advantage of Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) T11 standards Peer Zoning and uses Target Driven Peer Zoning (TDPZ) feature in Smart SAN which enables customers to automate peer zoning, resulting in the creation of fewer zones and enables configuration of zones in minutes and not in hours. Through automation, it reduces the probability of errors and potential downtime.
