HPE C-series SN8500C Director Switch

Overview

HPE C-series SN8500C Director Switch

HPE C-series SN8500C Director Switch (MDS 9700), HPE C-series Family

For a converged and virtualized environment to exist, there is pressure on the IT organization to manage fewer devices, utilize less energy and resources, and transfer data faster, all while handling similar or higher volumes of work than a traditional environment. When large amounts of data need to be transferred between data centers, arrays, or sites, a faster link can allow the same tasks to be completed in less time.

 

With virtualization taking a strong hold in the datacenter, and the resulting increase in the storage networking traffic, customers want high performance, high capacity, and a reliable storage area network (SAN) enabling them to deploy enterprise class applications. This high density virtualization combined with new storage technologies is driving even higher I/O and bandwidth requirements in the SAN and this problem is solved with 32Gb Fibre channel switching products and solutions from HPE Storage.

 

The HPE C-series SN8500C Director delivers many unique innovations for constructing powerful, large scale storage networks. With these innovations, users can build highly scalable, always available, high performance storage network solutions with comprehensive security and unified management. The HPE C-series SN8500C 8-slot 16/32Gb FC Director delivers industry-leading scalability and performance (up to 24-Tbps front panel FC switching bandwidth), high port density (up to 384-ports in an SN8500C 8-Slot Director) and high availability to lower TCO and enable integrated SAN infrastructures. HPE delivers the C-series SN8500C 8-slot 16/32Gb FC Director with high availability features inherent in the design. The base units include an 8-slot modular chassis with 2 hot swappable redundant Supervisor 1 Modules, and 6 hot swappable redundant 3000W Power Supplies to help ensure smooth, continuous operation and non-disruptive upgrade capability. The HPE SN8500C 8-slot and 4-slot 16/32Gb FC Directors also include 3 hot swappable Fabric 1 Modules which provides full line rate performance across a full chassis of 384 and 192 ports, respectively. The open expansion slots of the SN8500C Directors can be filled by HPE C-series Family Modules, which include a 48-port 32Gb FC Module, a 48-port 16Gb FC Module and a 48-port FCoE Module.

 

Layered, intelligent features also include integration with fabric-based applications to fabric-wide services for a wide range of solutions for business continuance, storage virtualization, network assisted backup and information life cycle management.

Cisco provides an extensive API for integration with third-party and user developed management tools. Additional advanced features are available with HPE's DCNM SN8500C license mentioned below.


Software Components, Optional

HPE SN8500C Enterprise Package E-LTU

Cisco MDS switches have a set of advanced traffic engineering and advanced security features that are recommended for all Enterprise SANs. These features are bundled together in a management application called the HPE  SN8500C Enterprise Package E-LTU. Please refer to Cisco's MDS Enterprise Package Data Sheet for more information:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/storage-networking/mds-9000-software-licensing/product_data_sheet09186a00801ca6ac.html

 

HPE SN8500C Data Center Network Manager E-LTU

The "Standard" Cisco Data Center Network Manager (Essentials Edition) software that is included at no charge with the SN8500C Switch provides basic switch configuration and troubleshooting capabilities. HPE's C-series Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) License extends Cisco Data Center Network Manager by advanced features such as historical performance data collection for network traffic hot-spot analysis, centralized management services and advanced application integration. By default, a 30-day trial license (with advanced features) is enabled on the switch. Customers must purchase the HPE  SN8500C DCNM E-LTU (server-based or switch-based license) to continue to utilize the advanced DCNM features.

 

HPE SN8500C Mainframe FICON E-LTU

The HPE  SN8500C Mainframe FICON License is required for using the SN8500C 8-slot 16Gb Directors (MDS 9710) or the SN8500C 4-slot 16Gb Directors (MDS 9706) in mainframe storage networks, including FICON protocol and CUP management, switch cascading, fabric binding, and intermixing. Please check Spock for the required firmware version for FICON support for your director.


 


 

HPE C-series SAN Insights (Cisco SAN Analytics)

Cisco SAN Analytics solution offers end-to-end visibility into Fibre Channel block storage traffic. The solution is natively available on the storage area network due to its integrated-by-design architecture with the HPE SN8500C 32Gb FC Director Module. Cisco SAN Analytics delivers deep visibility into I/O traffic between the compute and the storage infrastructure. This information is in addition to the already-available visibility obtained from individual ports, switches, servers, virtual machines, and storage arrays that are integrated with Cisco Data Center Network Manager. Cisco SAN Analytics, once enabled via the feature analytics CLI command, provides a 120-day trial license. To continue the use of these features after the trial period ends, customers must purchase the HPE SN8500C SAN Insights 1-year/3-year/5-year term E-LTU (switch-based-license) for on-board Analytics, Streaming Telemetry and SAN Insights on Data Center Network Manager and other telemetry receivers.

 

To utilize the features of the HPE SAN Insights license and visualize the available Analytics and Telemetry data through the DCNM interface, customers must have both the HPE DCNM and HPE SAN Insights licenses installed, and be using DCNM version 11.1(1) or later and NX-OS 8.4(1) or later.

 

Notes: HPE SAN Insights Software License-to-Use (E-LTU) includes maintenance and support for the duration of the license. At the end of the license period, customer will need to purchase a new license to continue using the software. Software renewal via HPE PointNext Pointnext Services is not allowed/supported.

Diagnostics

Cisco GOLD (Generic Online Diagnostics) is a suite of diagnostic facilities to verify that hardware and internal data paths are operating as designed. 

Boot-time diagnostics, continuous monitoring, standby fabric loopback tests, and on-demand and scheduled tests are part of the Cisco GOLD feature set. This industry-leading diagnostics subsystem enables the rapid fault isolation and continuous system monitoring critical in today's continuously operating environments.

Notes:

­ Dimension convention is as follows:

o H (Height) is the vertical dimension when looking at the front of the component, as it would be seen in the chassis. Exception is the compact flash where H is when looking at the identification label on the part.

o W (Width) is the horizontal (left to right) dimension when looking at the front of the component, as it would be seen in the chassis. Exception is the compact flash where W is when looking at the identification label on the part.

o D (Depth) is the front to back dimension when looking at the front of the component, as it would be seen in the chassis. Exception is the compact flash where D is when looking at the identification label on the part.

­ Packaging dimensions are reference as if you were looking at the front of the chassis in the packaging, if you could see through the packaging.
