Director Description
The Director 2/140 is a second-generation, 140-port product that provides
dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a
SAN environment. Directors (from one to three) can be configured to order in an
HP-supplied equipment rack, which can provide up to 420 ports in a single
cabinet.
Directors are managed and controlled through an HAFM appliance supplied by
HP with HAFM and Director 2/140 Element Manager installed. The HAFM
appliance is a rack-mount server (HAFM appliance) that provides a central point
of control for up to 48 directors and/or edge switches. Multiple directors and the
HAFM appliance communicate through the customer’s local area network (LAN).
The director provides dynamic switched connections for servers and devices,
supports mainframe and Open-Systems Interconnection (OSI) computing
environments, and provides data transmission and flow control between device
node ports (N_Ports), as dictated by the Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling
Interface (FC-PH 4.3). Through interswitch links (ISLs), the director can also
connect to one or more additional directors or switches to form a Fibre Channel
multi-switch fabric.
