HPE SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch
This section provides an overview of the SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch. It describes platform capabilities and
components, the physical layout of the switch, and hardware and software options.
Overview
The SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch is a 24-port autosensing 4, 8, or 16 Gb/s FC switch that delivers the latest
Hewlett Packard Enterprise single-chip architecture for FC SANs. The SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch is a
small-sized to mid-sized business-class switch that is designed to handle smaller-scale SAN
requirements.
The SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch provides up to 24 ports in a single height (1U) switch, which enables the
creation of very dense fabrics in a relatively small space. This switch also offers POD licensing. Base
models of the switch contain 12 ports, and an additional 12-port POD license can be purchased.
NOTE:
The base model of the SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch includes a single power supply and fan module
assembly. An optional second power supply and fan module assembly can be added to the switch
as an upgrade, for redundancy and hot-swap capability.
The SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch supplies RAS performance and the scalability requirements of an
enterprise switch along with interoperability and ease-of-use advantages.
The SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch can be configured in AG mode, which enables configuring the enterprise
fabric to handle additional N_Ports instead of domains. Reducing the number of domain IDs and ports
simplifies configuration and management in a large fabric. Switches in AG mode are logically transparent
to the host and the fabric. You can increase the number of hosts that have access to the fabric without
increasing the number of switches.
Platform capabilities
The SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch offers the following features and capabilities:
