Chapter 1 Product Overview Software and Hardware Requirements Send documentation comments to [email protected] The MSM-18/4 module provides 18 4-Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces for high-performance SAN and mainframe connectivity and four Gigabit Ethernet ports for FCIP and iSCSI storage services. Individual ports can be configured with hot-swappable shortwave, longwave, extended-reach, coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) or dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs) for connectivity up to 125 miles (200 km). The MSM-18/4 module can minimize latency for disk and tape through FCIP write acceleration and FCIP tape write and read acceleration. The MSM-18/4 module provides up to 16 virtual Inter-Switch Link (ISL) connections on the four 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports through tunneling, and provides up to 4095 buffer-to-buffer credits that can be assigned to a single Fibre Channel port. The MSM-18/4 provides intelligent diagnostics, protocol decoding, and network analysis tools with the integrated Call Home capability. Note Cisco MDS 9500 Series switches running Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c) or later, or Cisco NX-OS 4.x support the MSM-18/4 and the MSFM-18/4 modules. For additional information, refer to the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide. Cisco MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular Switch The Cisco MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular switch includes an integrated supervisor module (in slot 1) that provides the control and management functions of the Cisco MDS 9222i Switch and it provides an 18-port Fibre Channel switching and 4-port Gigabit Ethernet IP services module. The Cisco MDS 9222i built-in supervisor module provides multiple communication and control paths to avoid a single point of failure. The Cisco MDS 9222i supervisor module has a PowerPC PowerQUICC III class processor, 1 GB of DRAM, and an internal CompactFlash card that provides 1 GB of storage for software images. The Cisco MDS 9222i switch includes a modular expansion slot to host Cisco MDS 9000 Family Switching and Services Modules. For additional information, refer to the Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide. Note The Cisco MDS 9222i switch requires Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c) or later, or Cisco NX-OS 4.x. FC-Redirect-Capable Switches Cisco SME requires that each target switch be FC-Redirect capable. FC-Redirect is not supported on the following switches: • Cisco MDS 9120 switch • Cisco MDS 9140 switch • Cisco MDS 9124 switch • Cisco MDS 9134 switch • Cisco MDS 9020 switch Note Tape devices and tape libraries are not supported in these edge switches.
