Fibre Channel Tutorial
• Concept of “Nodes” and “Ports”
• Nodes can be Hosts or Devices, the
ports are the bus adapters.
• Nodes communicate via three possible
topologies: Point to point, Loop, and Fabric.

Why SAN &
SAN switches ?
 High Speed
 Using of Fibre channel
switching technology.
 Full duplex bandwidth: 1Gb/s,
2 Gb/s, 8 Gb/s using Trunking
 Cost effective
 Storage resource share
 Data is readily across the
enterprise
 Improved Return on
Investment (ROI)
 Centralized management
 High expandability, high
scalability

 San Solution, the “market
trend” !!
 Server Free backup and
restore
 Clustering
 Business continuance &
Disaster recovery
 Fulfill business
requirement

SAN Solution: Server-free back up &
Restore
 Traditional network with
each server attached its
tape library.
 Using single SAN tape
library for backup.
 Backup is centralized
and effective.

Storage
 Online data copies &
snapshot, and server
downtime is minimized.
Tape library

San Solutions:Clustering
 Redundant path available to
storage device.
 No single point of failure.
 Non-disruptive maintenance
and upgrade.
 Advantages:
 Quick application
dynamic failover is
feasible.
 Transparent to users.
 99.9% system
availability.

SAN Solutions: Business continuity and
disaster Recovery
 Losing Millions of
dollars for hourly
system outage.
(Financial security firms,
Stock Exchange)
 High Data & system
availability is
extremely important !
 Non-stop !
12
SAN Solution: Business continuity and
disaster Recovery (cont.d)
 Mirror site set up using
extended fabric (120
KM), using:
ATM
 DWDM (Dense-Wave
Division Multiplexing)
 Extend wavelength
GBIC
 SFP (small form Factor
Pluggable interfaces)
 Using existing WAN
Technology like ATM
for long distance.
DWDM
 Business operation
resume within a short
time during disaster.
13
ISL Trunking:
Advantages:
What is ISL?
 ISL is link between 2
san switches, so call
inter switching links.
What is ISL Trunking?
 Combine 4 pyhsical
ISLs into one single
logical links.
 High bandwidth (8Gb/s)
 Load sharing
 In order frame delivery
 Link redundancy on need
for re-routing if one link
failure
 Simpler management
• Only one logical link
between 2 switches.
 Use in between core switch
in large scale SAN.
14
ISL Trunking:
Throughput of ISL no (trunking)=(1+1.5+0.5+1+1)Gb/s = 5 Gb/s
Throughput of ISL trunking =(1.5+1.5+0.5+1+2)Gb/s = 7 Gb/s

SAN Security- Zoning
Storage Area network devices arranged into specified
logical groups.
16
SAN Security- Zoning(cont’d)
 What is san zoning?
Fabric-connected devices
arranged into specified logical
groups, devices can be
members of multiple zone.
 Types zoning:
 Port Zoning – base on switch
port (domain ID, number)
 WWN Zoning– base on fibre
channel card’s World wide
name which is similar to Mac
address of Ethernet card.
 Advantages of zoning:
 Partition storage area networks
into logical groupings of
devices.
 Flexible: device can be member
of more than one zone, like tape
library.
 Controlled access: barrier
between different operating
environment – AIX, Solaris,
hpux, win2000, Linux.
 Ease of monitoring:
 Can telnet into san switches
 Using web browser.
 Mixed Zoning – base on port
& WWN.
