It allows the system administrator to control access privileges between individual Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and target devices connected to the SNC 6101 SCSI and Fibre Channels. The system administrator uses the ADIC Management Console to administrate the SFM. · SFM technology enables Storage Area Networks with multiple users to share the same connectivity channels or pipes to access the same or different storage elements or resources. Therefore, multiple virtual private connections can be created on the same Storage Networking infrastructure. SFM is completely host independent and requires no software components on the host. An optional automatic Host Registration Service that provides periodic host status information is included. It has no interface dependencies and supports Fibre Channel, SCSI, or any other SAN interface. It is also independent of the storage elements and requires no change in legacy or in new storage devices. SFM keeps track of Fibre Channel HBAs by their unique World Wide Name (WWN). Because Fibre Channel switches also have a WWN, SFM can see and can control access to FC switches connected to the SNC 6101. SFM manages access for hosts connected through FC switches to the SNC 6101. The SNC 6101 supports up to 2048 LUNs across all of its interfaces. It has a virtual limit of how many hosts (HBAs or Initiators) are connected to each port. The default setting allows 64 initiators per port. Consequently, with the default setting, an SNC 6101 with its two Fibre Channel ports can support up to 128 host connections. SFM creates and maintains a database in non-volatile memory to hold persistent information about each HBA (or Initiator) and its LUN access privileges. When you perform a Save Configuration from the ADIC Management Console, it saves both the persistent device map and the SFM database to a file. [. . . ] Refer to the SNC Firmware 4 User's Guide. Verify that all attached SCSI devices appear in the output report. Refer to To configure the SNC 6101 on page 22 for a sample report. Refer to Changing the WWN on page 37. 1 2 3 Cable a service terminal to the service port of the SNC 6101. 4 5 Turn on the Scalar 100. [. . . ]
