HP 4/32B SAN User Manual download pdf

The HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch is the successor to the 4/32 SAN Switch, which shipped in January, 2005. The

4/32B SAN Switch offers an improved TCO because it consumes 20 percent less power, generates less heat, and requires

less cooling then the 4/32 SAN Switch. The HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch delivers excellent overall value and

investment protection as the foundation for a small SAN or as an edge switch in a larger core to edge enterprise SAN.

Whether incorporated into an expansive core fabric or tactically placed at the edge, this switch delivers the performance of

1,2, or 4 Gb technologies in a 1u footprint. The switch is available in three models:

HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch Power Pack with 32 active ports and value added software

HP StorageWorks 4/32B Full SAN Switch with 32 active ports

HP StorageWorks 4/32B SAN Switch with 16 active ports (Base)

An optional 8 port license scales the number of active ports to 24 or up to 32 ports.

Each switch variant has removable redundant power supplies/cooling units. These integrated POWER/FAN units reduce

overall Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) count, lower power dissipation, and reduce cooling requirements. The switch is ideal

for supporting medium to large corporate infrastructure implementations.

The 4/32B SAN Switch Power Pack includes the 4/32B SAN Switch (Full) with additional software: Fabric Watch, ISL

Trunking, Extended Fabric, and Performance Monitor. Power Pack software provides SAN administrators with the necessary

tools to monitor the health and performance of the network while insuring the highest levels of security, scalability, and

manageability.

Key Features and Benefits

Protects existing investments by providing 4 Gbit/sec technology with auto-sensing capabilities to recognize earlier 1

and 2 Gbit/sec devices

Supports full 4 Gbit/sec operations at distances up to 100 kilometers (or 500 kilometers at 1 Gbit/sec) for cost-

effective business continuance operations. Requires appropriate 4Gb SFPs.

Increases network performance with enhanced Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking, which enables a high-speed data path

up to 32 Gbit/sec

Utilizes Ports on Demand for fast, easy, and cost-effective scalability from 16 to 32 ports, in 8 port increments

Meets high-availability requirements with redundant, hot-pluggable components, non-disruptive software upgrades,

and hot code activation for a wide range of SAN configurations

Integrated Power/Fan unit reduces overall Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) count, lowers power dissipatation, and

reduces cooling requirements

Leverages intelligent B-series SAN management and monitoring tools to increase operational efficiency and maximize

SAN investments
