McDATA 3000 Manual Do Utilizador

 

 

This chapter contains the procedures for configuring your UltraNet 
Edge 3000 for Tape Device Extension over an Ethernet WAN using 
McDATA’s UltraNet ConfigManager configuration tool.

FC/SCSI Tape Device Extension is a per port function. The same port 
of an Edge 3000 cannot be used for both FC/SCSI tape Pipelining and 
E_port functions. Edge release 3.1.2. allows the same chassis (in a 
mixed configuration) to provide E_port services on one port and 
FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining on a different port. For a description of the 
supported configurations, refer to 

Chapter 2,

 

 

in this guide. 

Throughout the remainder of this chapter, Tape Device Extension is 
referred to as “FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining”.

Prior to configuring the UltraNet Edge 3000, you should be familiar 
with Fibre Channel, Ethernet 10/100, Gigabit Ethernet, and SCSI 
networking principles. 

Before using UltraNet ConfigManager to configure the UltraNet Edge 
3000, the Fibre Channel switch(es) may require zoning. See the 
“Required Fibre Channel Switch Zoning” section on page -4 to 
determine if this is necessary for your network configuration.

You will need to gather the IP addresses prior to configuring an 
Ethernet WAN for your UltraNet Edge 3000 (see the “Gathering the 
IP Addresses” section).
