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 Fabric Vision functionality. 

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. 

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.

 

Solution Requirements:

  • SAO requires B-series HBA installed in the server


 

Software Components, Optional

 

SN6500B 16Gb Switch Power Pack+ Software Bundle

The Power Pack+ Software Bundle comes with the SN6500B 16Gb 96/96 Power Pack+ Switch and SN6500B 16Gb 96/48 Power Pack+ Switch or as an optional software bundle for the SN6500B 16Gb 96/96 FC Switch and the SN6500B 96/48 FC Switch. It includes the following:

  • Fabric Vision
  • Extended Fabric
  • ISL Trunking  

Notes: Adaptive Networking and Server Application Optimization features are included by default in all four switch configurations and do not require a separate license

 

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

 

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. 

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 Management Portal is a next-generation SAN management application with a simple browser-based user interface (UI) streamlining common workflows, such as configuration, zoning, deployment, troubleshooting, and reporting.
  • 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.

 


 

SAN Network Advisor Enterprise and Professional+

HPE 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 100 fabrics and 15,000 switch ports, while SAN Network Advisor Professional+ scales to 36 SAN Fabrics and 2560 switch ports. To accommodate growth, there is an upgrade available to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise from SAN Network Advisor Professional Plus.

 

Notes: HPE SAN Network Advisor 14.4.5 supports only the Enterprise edition. Any migrations to 14.4.5 utilizing a Professional+ license will provide Enterprise level equivalent functionality while on 14.4.5. The Professional and Trial editions as well as the head-less SMI agent only editions are not supported in 14.4.5 for new installations or migration from previous HPE SAN Network Advisor versions. 

See the HPE Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) B-series stream for HPE SAN Network Advisor version support. https://www.hpe.com/storage/spock 

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 Smart SAN for 3PAR

HPE Smart SAN, optional software for HP 3PAR, makes end-to-end SAN configuration and management simple and reduces the probability of errors through automation. 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 B-series Switches, HPE Fibre Channel adapters (HBAs) and 3PAR storage. HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR through its Target Driven Peer Zoning (TDPZ) feature 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. Additional information can be found here:
