Technology that enable Smart SAN FDMI and RDP and PZ and TDPZ and HPE and 3PAR
Extend the Reliability and Performance of FC SAN Working with together to Provide Comprehensive Solutions Sharing the knowledge from the SAN with the Servers and Storage Deeply interact with HP 3PAR storage Enable the Smarter SAN Automatic discovery using FC in-band access Diagnostic data collection (RDP) Automatic Peer Zoning (FC) Automatic Security profile enforcement (Port Binding) Without any extra software or client side agents! 5
Fabric-Device Management Interface (FDMI) Collecting information about devices in a structured way When devices login into the fabric they supply information to the name server through in-band communications Information is stored into the Nameserver database of the SAN switches Fabric now has basic knowledge about the device 2016 BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC.

Read Diagnostic Parameter (RDP) Port errors on local and HBA Shows the local (Switch) port information including errors stats Shows the remote (HBA), connected port error stats If the switch can read it from the HBA Then the Storage Array can ask it from the Fabric Switch! Now 3PAR knows what is going on all the way from the host through the switch to itself (the array) 2016 BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC. Shared with HPE, Customers and Partners 8
Peer Zoning Simplifying Zone administration
Traditional zoning method Single-initiator zoning (no initiator to initiator connectivity) SERVER #1 SERVER #2 SERVER #3 Z3 Z2 Z1 Pros: Uses least number of port CAM (* entries Minimizes RSCN (** volume to end devices SERVER #4 Z4 (Possibly) makes troubleshooting easier SERVER #5 SERVER #6 SERVER #7 Z5 SERVER #8 Z6 Z7 STORAGE FABRIC Z8 STORAGE ARRAY Cons: Results in large number of zones Can exhaust zone database size limits Heavy administrative burden Requires a lot of work and is prone to human errors *) Content Addressable Memory **) Registered State change Notification 10
New (FOS v7.4+) zoning method Peer Zoning (follows FC-SW-6 (* and FC-GS-7 (** standards) SERVER #1 SERVER #2 Simplify zoning configuration while achieving device isolation Improves performance and scalability SERVER #3 Peer Zoning Rules SERVER #4 SERVER #5 PEER(S) STORAGE FABRIC PZ1 PRINCIPAL STORAGE ARRAY Membership asymmetry Principal vs. non- Principal (Peers) Communication allowed between Principal and Peer members only Communication disallowed among Peer members including RSCN SERVER #6 SERVER #7 Co-exist with legacy (Single-initiator zoning) zoning for migration SERVER #8 *) https://standards.incits.org/apps/group_public/project/details.php?project_id=375 Fibre Channel - Switch Fabric **) https://standards.incits.org/apps/group_public/project/details.php?project_id=799 Fibre Channel - Generic Services 11
Target Driven Peer Zoning Enables the target to create Peer-zones
Target Driven Zoning (TDZ) What is target driven zoning? Peer Zoning configuration created by storage device Configuration communicated through FC in-band HOST SAN SWITCH STORAGE ARRAY Name Server returns a list of all unzoned WWNs 2 Query NS NS Response 1 3 Target queries unzoned Name Server entries Storage Admin attaches the host Zoning request is accepted 5 AAPZ ACC 4 Storage Array makes zoning (AAPZ (* ) request *) AAPZ = Add/Replace Active Peer Zone, command 13
