HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8V and 2/8V Power
Pack B-Series Family
QuickSpecs
Overview
Introduction
The highly available HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8V and 2/8V Power Pack offer 2 Gb connectivity for an entry-level storage area network (SAN), and the
ability to grow to a core-to-edge infrastructure. The simplicity and ease-of-use advantages of the SAN Switch 2/8V and 2/8V Power Pack can help increase
administrator productivity and lower the cost of management. This can be especially beneficial for organizations with limited IT expertise.
The Switch delivers eight high performance Auto Sensing 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel ports. In addition, the SAN Switch 2/8V and 2/8V Power Pack are fully
non-blocking and provide 16 Gb switching (2 Gb full duplex) capacity for un-congested sustained, 2 Gb full duplex throughput. The SAN Switch 2/8V
scales to a maximum fabric configuration of two switches and can be upgraded to full SAN configurations by purchasing a full fabric upgrade license.
Small-form-factor-pluggable optical transceivers (SFPs) must be ordered separately.
The Power Pack provides the SAN administrator with the necessary tools to monitor the health and performance of the network, while also ensuring the
highest levels of security, scalability and manageability. Available pre-configured on the switch or as an upgrade, Power Pack also provides the foundation
for integration into HP OpenView Storage Area Manager (SAM), enabling infrastructure management through a single-pane-of-glass. The Power Pack tools
can be ordered separately, as well.

An ASIC based capability in the 2Gb family of switches that enables new applications and features. The switch now has the
ability to "view" the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities
such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring.
In the 2 Gb generation of switches, WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same
simple administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical
groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.
Enables organizations to monitor and manage single Fibre Channel switches and small SAN fabrics. Tasks can be
performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location
within the enterprise.

Product Highlights
ISL Trunking
For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to four E-ports to provide a high
bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 2 Gb switch needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk
as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 8 Gb) when routing connections between switches. Connections are load-
balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group. Each 8-port switch can have a total of two
separate 4-port Trunk groups.
Advanced Perform ance
M onitor
This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics from a SID (Source ID) to a DID
(Destination ID), so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently. Plus, Advanced Performance Monitoring
includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within the fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall
balanced performance.
Fabric W atch
Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults-and automatically alert network managers to
problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN fabric elements, events, and counters.
Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmental parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well
as performance measurement. Each switch in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.
Extended Fabric
Extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond
the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard. Required with future use of Very Long Distance SFPs
and/or wavelength division multiplexing (WDM or DWDM).
Rem ote Switch
Remote switch fabric functions with the aid of a bridging device or network bridge. The network bridge supports both Fibre
Channel physical interfaces, as well as secondary non-Fibre Channel FCIP physical interface.
Fabric M anager (v4.1.1)
Fabric Manager is a highly scalable, Java-based application that manages multiple switches and multiple fabrics (up to
eight) in real time, helping SAN administrators with SAN configuration, monitoring, dynamic provisioning, and daily
management. SAN administrators gain rapid access to critical SAN information across multiple personality fabrics.
Secure Fabric O S
Secure Fabric OS™ is a comprehensive security solution for SAN fabrics, providing policy-based security protection for more
predictable change management, assured configuration integrity and reduced risk of downtime. Secure Fabric OS protects
the network by using the strongest, enterprise-class security methods available, including digital certificates and digital
signatures, multiple levels of password protection, strong password encryption and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based
authentication, and 128-bit encryption of the switch's private key used for digital signatures. With its flexible design, Secure
Fabric OS enables organizations to customize SAN security to meet specific policy requirements. In addition, Secure Fabric
OS works in conjunction with Advanced Zoning to further secure access to the SAN, simplify storage management, and
reduce provisioning time.
