The MDS architecture has been designed to meet the following principles:

• High Data Transfer Capability – Provide performance to meet customer requirements

• Predictable Performance – All traffic in chassis has equal and consistent performance no matter traffic ingresses or egresses

• Highly Available – Hardware components and Software features are design for maximum availability

• Data Protection – Protect SAN and End devices from corrupted frames

• SAN Extension is an integral component of SAN Business Solutions:

‒ Disaster Recovery – Protecting Data Through Offsite Data Replication and Backup

‒ Business Continuance – Restoration of Business After a Failure

‒ Business Resilience – Continued Operation of Business During a Failure

‒ Cloud Storage – Leveraging the Cloud for Data Storage

• Solution dependent on available DCI network and the customer business requirements (RPO, RTO)

• SAN Extension distance is limited by two separate factors

‒ Physical Layer – How far can the optics transmit or how far does the interconnect go (dependencies on cable type and speed)?

‒ SW optics – < 1 km,

‒ MR optics – up to 4 km

‒ LW optics – up to 10 km

‒ ER optics – up to 40 km

‒ CWDM/DWDM optics – up to 40 km point-to-point

‒ Flow control – How many frames can I have in flight?

‒ FC – Determined by BB credits

‒ FCoE – Determined by interface buffers

‒ FCIP – Determined by the TCP window size

• It is the combination of these two factors that determines how far a FC solution can be deployed

Fault Tolerance in SANs

Addressing Misbehaving Devices

• Port Guard – Shutdown the link after multiple errors

Configurable thresholds (number of errors and duration)

• Slow Drain Devices – Detect, Notify, Recover

Detect - Monitor buffer credits and ASIC queues

Notify - SNMP traps and System Logs

Recover – Configurable multi-step recovery options

Disable the port right away

Attempt to recover through timeouts and frame-drops first

Misbehaving HBA

Affected Host

Port-Guard The Link failure can happen for any of the following reasons.

- Cable cut (NOS/LOS)

- In case of F ports, the connected device has rebooted

- In case of ISL, the connected line card has rebooted

- Too many bit errors due to bad SFP/Cable etc.

- B2B buffer overflow condition

- Hardware Recoverable errors

Once the condition is hit the link will be down with the ‘Error disabled - port down due to link failure’ as the reason. This reason will also be displayed in the ‘show interface’ command.

User will need to perform the following to bring the link up again.

- ‘shut’ command followed by ‘no shut’ command

- Note: By default, irrespective of if this feature is enabled or not, we shut down the port if the switch receives too many invalid flogi’s from a host.
