edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–1

Introduction

The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 provides dynamic switched connections

between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN)

environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and

multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the

enterprise to become data centric.

A SAN provides speed, high capacity, and flexibility for the enterprise, and is

primarily based upon Fibre Channel architecture. The switch implements Fibre

Channel technology that provides a bandwidth of 2.125 Gbps, redundant switched

data paths, a scalable number of active ports, and long transmission distances (up to 35

km).

This chapter describes the switch and attached HP StorageWorks Ha-Fabric Manager

(HAFM) server. The chapter specifically discusses:

• Switch management, error-detection and reporting features, serviceability

features, zoning, multi-switch fabrics, and specifications.

• The HAFM server and minimum hardware specifications.

• Remote workstation configurations and hardware specifications.

• Maintenance approach.

• Field-replaceable units (FRUs).

• Connectors and indicators.

• Software diagnostic features.

• Tools and test equipment.
