Q-Logic 16HA Manuel D’Utilisation

Refer to the Switch Management manual for more information. SANsurfer Switch 
management provides the following:

•

The user may choose which ports (if any) are TL_Ports.

•

The user may use Name Server Zoning or Hard Zoning to limit the number 
of Public devices that have access to a particular TL_Port to 31 devices or 
less.

•

The user may disable the Auto Learning feature for any TL_Port. The default 
for each TL_Port is Auto Learning enabled. 

•

The user may manage the translation entries list for any TL_Port connected 
to Private initiators. That is, the user may identify all off-loop targets for the 
initiators on the particular TL_Port. Auto learning should be disabled for 
these TL_Ports.

•

SANsurfer provides a map of all AL_PAs on a Translated Loop. This 
viewable map includes information about which AL_PA addresses are being 
used by the TL_Port.

•

SANsurfer provides a way to flag error conditions to the user. 

•

All switch management configuration information is stored in non-volatile 
memory.

•

The user may clear the stored configuration information.

The following is an overview of the major features of the Switch chassis:

•

A chassis can be defined as one of three stage types: Input/Output Transfer 
(IO/T), Cross Connect (CC), or SL Private Loop. An IO/T chassis supports 
all port types (F, FL, SL, TL, and T). A CC chassis supports only T_Ports as it 
serves as a bridge between many IO/T chassis. An SL Private Loop chassis 
supports SL_Ports and T_Ports. Refer to

 for more information about IO/T and CC stage types. Refer to 

 for more information about the 

SL Private Loop Stage Type.

•

You have the option to add a second power supply for total power supply 
redundancy. When there are two power supplies, they each become “hot 
pluggable”. Refer to
