M-EOS fabrics overview
A
The Fibre Channel routing feature for M-EOS interoperability is not a licensed feature.
Connected SANs provide additional functionality not possible with segregated SANs. Some of these
functions are as follows:
•
Island consolidation—Uses the Fabric OS v6.0 or later FC router to connect isolated M-EOS and
Fabric OS fabrics and share devices.
•
Backup consolidation—Consolidates backup solutions across Fabric OS and M-EOS fabrics.
•
Manageable large-scale storage network—Uses the Fabric OS v6.0 or later FC router to localize
traffic while connecting devices in the metaSAN. This provides a large number of fabrics with a
large number of devices.
•
Sharing across an FCIP link—Shares devices between Fabric OS and M-EOS fabrics over a
campus Ethernet or over long-distance IP links beyond 1000 km.
•
Sharing across a long-distance FC link—Shares devices between Fabric OS fabrics over
long-distance FC links as far as 300 km.
•
LUN sharing—Uses your high-end RAID array connected to an M-series to share targets with a
Fabric OS fabric; just connect one Intrepid series port to an FC router EX_Port and the one
EX_Port to the Fabric OS edge fabric.
•
LSAN zone database binding—Increases FCR scalability to support more FC routers in the
backbone and support more devices in the metaSAN.
