A fibre-channel switch supports many different configurations. The ports on the switch must be configured appropriately for the type of SAN that is set up and for the attributes of the SAN. The
Supported combinations of IBM z17 FICON Express32-4P and 32S, IBM z16 and FICON Express32S, IBM z15 T012 with FICON Express16SA, IBM DS8000® storage, and IBM Security® Guardium® Key
The IBM Flex SystemTM FC5022 16Gb SAN Scalable Switch is a high-density, 48-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel switch that is used in the IBM Flex System chassis. The switch provides 28 internal ports to
The switch must be configured correctly before it can operate within a network and fabric. For instructions on configuring the switch to operate in a fabric containing Extension Switches from other
Through IBM Network Advisor, administrators can configure the entire fabric (or multiple fabrics) at one time using common rules and policies, or customize policies for specific ports or switch elements.
For information about configuring the switch for in-band management, see the Cisco NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide. The IBM SAN c-type Directors support both Fibre Channel
Apply the following configuration details for Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FC/FCoE Gateway, FCF) switches to ensure that you have a valid configuration.
Fiber optic links, which use one optical fiber for sending and another for receiving, use IBM duplex connectors, duplex jumper cables, and require two trunk fibers.
