Overview Key Features The HP StorageWorks SAN Director 2/128 represents the next generation of advanced Fibre Channel Director models used to interconnect storage devices, hosts, and servers intelligently in a Storage Area Network (SAN). The 128-port Fibre Channel Director delivers performance, scalability, flexibility, functionality, reliability, and availability. Key features of the SAN Director 2/128 include the following: ■ 128 ports in a single chassis, providing a high-density, scalable, rack-ready solution for SAN backbones. ■ High-availability platform for mission-critical SAN-designed applications. ■ Dual, redundant Control Processors (CP) provide high availability and enable nondisruptive software upgrades. ■ Nonblocking architecture enables all 128 ports to operate at full 2 Gb speed simultaneously. ■ Universal ports self-configure as E-ports, F-ports, or FL-ports. ■ Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers support any combination of short wavelength (SWL), long wavelength (LWL), and extended long wavelength (ELWL) optical media on a single switch module (the 16-port card). ■ Forward and backward compatibility with HP StorageWorks switches. ■ High availability redundant design, extensive diagnostics, and system monitoring capabilities integrated with Fabric OS management tools deliver unprecedented reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). ■ Support for 1 and 2 Gb/sec autosensing Fibre Channel ports (trunking technology groups up to four ports together to create high-performance 8 Gb/sec ISL trunks between switches). 16 SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
