13 Chapter 2: Installing and connecting the SAN Router
• HBA vendor, model, driver version, topology setting (Pt-Pt,
Loop, etc.).
FC/iSCSI target information:
• FC target/array model, firmware version, drive details.
• SCSI bridge vendor, model, (Crossroads, etc.) and SCSI device
details.
FC Sub-fabric interconnect information:
• FC switch vendor, model, firmware version, interconnect mode,
domain ID, active zoneset.
iSCSI initiator information:
• IP address for initiator NIC interface.
• NIC hardware driver version.
• iSCSI initiator software vendor
SAN application information:
• Vendor, version, and platform of management station details
(Windows, Solaris, etc.).
• Examples: TrueCopy, SAN copy, Mirrorview, SRDF,
PowerPath, etc.
Cabling and transceiver information:
• Cable vendor, cable type (Multimode/single mode,
shortwave/longwave), length and connector type (LC, SC, etc.).
• Transceiver: vendor, type (SFP, GBIC), FC (1063MBd), GE
(1250MBd) or tri-mode (both).
SAN Router information:
• Vendor, model, firmware version, Layer 2 - Layer 3, VLANS,
jumbo frame support, IP gateway address (hop) etc.
iFCP/iSCSI network details:
• Bandwidth available between iFCP peer connections or iSCSI
initiator and iSCSI SAN Router port (the lowest available
bandwidth on the network at its busiest time, factoring in signal
degradation, hops and supplementary activity).
— Correct rate limiting on the iFCP ports will be crucial to the
health and performance of the iFCP interconnection.
