This document is intended for use by systems administrators and technicians experienced with networking, Fibre Channel, and storage area network (SAN) technologies. It describes how to install, service, and use the IBM System Storage SAN42B-R (machine type-model 2498-R42 switch). Throughout this document, the product is referred to as the SAN42B-R, or simply the switch.
(FOS) publications, you will notice that the model numbers reference the Brocade products. Table 2 provides a product matrix to correlate the Brocade products and models to the IBM product names and machine types and model numbers. Products withdrawn from marketing are not listed.
Chapter 1. Overview of the SAN42B-R switch The IBM System Storage SAN42B-R switch is intended as a platform for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). This enables transmission of Fibre Channel data over long distances by way of IP networks by wrapping Fibre Channel frames in IP packets.
Note: The application throughput numbers shown in the following table assume that some degree of data compression is occurring. However, IBM makes no promises, guarantees, or any indication that some level of compression is possible for customer-specific data. Some data is highly compressible and some data cannot be compressed.
– The SAN42B-R uses common licenses with other midrange products (for example, SAN48B-5) for IR and CUP. – A new SKU for Advanced Acceleration for FICON license on the SAN42B-R is introduced v All ports and interfaces on the switch are active except for the 40 GE interfaces.
