1.1.2 Sun StorEdge 6320 Switchless Systems
The Sun StorEdge 6320 systems are configured without built-in front-end switches.
The Sun StorEdge 6320 switchless configuration system can be directly attached to
your host. Alternatively, you can attach the system to an externally provided switch.
Sun provides the following for switchless configurations:
■
Prime input power cords (two each) for mounting a pair of third-party switches
in the front end of a Sun StorEdge 6320 system cabinet.
■
For the Sun StorEdge 6320 system, Sun provides FC cable connectivity for up to
22 Sun StorEdge 6020 trays.
With Sun StorEdge 6320 switchless systems, you are responsible for providing:
■
All host FC cable connections
■
An Ethernet cable connection between any third-party switches (if applicable)
and a storage area network (SAN) maintenance console. The connection is used to
monitor and perform diagnostic reporting.
Neither the customer-supplied switches or the Sun-installed front-end switches are
monitored or diagnosable by the internal Storage Service Processor in the Sun
StorEdge 6320 or 6320 switchless systems.
Note –
The Sun-supplied and customer-supplied switches that are installed in a Sun
StorEdge 6320 system cannot be connected to the internal local area network (LAN)
of the system. All Fibre Channel switches must be managed from an outside
Ethernet connection.
Brocade and McData switches that are on the Sun price list will be supported on the
switchless Sun StorEdge 6320 switchless system under the Sun StorEdge SAN
Foundation (rules for version 4.1 or greater).
McData switches are not currently supported by Enterprise Services unless they are
part of a Sun StorEdge 9900 configuration. The switches in the SAN must be
homogeneous (all Sun, all Brocade, or all McData).
