logical ISL switch with a speed of up to 64 Gbits/sec (128 Gbits/sec full duplex)
for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
v
Advanced Zoning.
v
Intelligent management and monitoring with Web Tools, Fabric Watch, and
Performance Monitor.
v
Adaptive Networking Services uses network intelligence to anticipate congestion
and to dynamically make adjustments in the fabric so that application traffic
continues to flow
v
Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) optimizes fabric-wide performance and load
balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in
the fabric.
v
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) to indicate system power, system status, Ethernet
speed and link status, and port status.
Supported connectivity
Specific details on supported operating systems, servers, and devices, storage
products attachability, SAN connectivity products, and configuration options can
be found in the interoperability matrices at the following web site:
www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/san.
Port side of the switch
Figure 1 shows the port side of the switch. All LEDs are on the port side of the
switch: the nonport side is used to allow the free flow of air. The switch enclosure
has forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport side of the
chassis through the enclosure, exhausting to the port side. For a complete
description of the locations and interpretations of these LEDs, see “Interpreting
LED activity” on page 21.
