Description

Gateway module that connects InfiniBand fabrics to Fibre Channel SANs, enabling IB-attached hosts to access existing FC storage environments with minimal latency and without rearchitecting the SAN.

Features

- Seamless IB-to-FC SAN connectivity
- Low-latency FCP translation for storage access
- Standards-based FC interoperability
- Redundancy-capable for mission-critical storage paths
- Centralized management through the chassis supervisor

Technical Specifications

- Function: InfiniBand-to-Fibre Channel gateway for SAN integration
- InfiniBand side: 4X SDR/DDR signaling for HPC interconnects
- Fibre Channel side: 2/4 Gbps FC interfaces (SFP-based, standard-compliant)
- Protocol: SCSI over Fibre Channel (FCP) translation and forwarding
- SAN services: Preserves FC fabric services such as zoning (managed on the FC fabric)
- Resiliency: Supports chassis-level HA when deployed as a redundant pair
- Management: Configured and monitored via the chassis supervisor (CLI/web/SNMP)
- Interoperability: Standards-based operation with mainstream FC switches and arrays
- Use cases: IB host access to legacy FC arrays, phased storage migrations
- Security: Role-based access control with external AAA via chassis manager

FAQs

Q: Does this replace my Fibre Channel switches?
A: No. It functions as a gateway, interconnecting an IB fabric with an existing FC SAN.

Q: Which FC speeds are supported?
A: 2 and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel are supported on the FC side.

Q: How is zoning handled?
A: Zoning and other SAN services are managed on your FC switches; the gateway preserves and interoperates with those policies.

Q: Is a pair required for high availability?
A: A redundant pair is recommended for service continuity during maintenance or failures.
