HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR StoreServExtending ease of use beyond the boundaries of the all-flash array to the SAN

The only all-flash system with built-in automated SAN configuration

FC SANServer

SAN zoning in Minutes not Hours

80% fewer steps

99% less time

HPE Smart SAN is integrated into the 3PAR OS and into the firmware of HPE StoreFabric FC HBAs & B-series switches

and select HPE FlexFabric 5900 Series Switches

Simplification through standards Less human errors = more uptime

SAN Resiliency = healthier SAN

New: 3PAR FederationZoning

New: 3PAR SSMC 3.1 Integration

New: Expanded ECO System and diagnostics

3PAR Automated SAN Configuration & SAN Health

HPE SAN Innovation– Only available from HPE Storage!– Expanding SAN services with 3PAR– Over 16 patents filed by HPE– Innovation collaboration with HPE

StoreFabric Partners (Qlogic and Broadcom/Emulex/Brocade)

– Standards based for information sharing, interoperability and predictability

Technology that enable Smart SANFDMI and RDP and PZ and TDPZ and HPE and 3PAR

Extend the Reliability and Performance of FC SANWorking with together to Provide Comprehensive Solutions

–Sharing the knowledge from the SAN with the Servers and Storage–Deeply interact with HP 3PAR storage–Enable the “Smarter SAN”

– Automatic discovery using FC in-band access– Diagnostic data collection (RDP)– Automatic Peer Zoning (FC)

–Automatic Security profile enforcement (Port Binding)

Without any extra software or client side agents!

Fabric-Device Management Interface (FDMI)Collecting information about devices in a structured way

– When devices login into the fabric they supply information to the name server through in-band communications– Information is stored into the Nameserver database of the SAN switches

–Fabric now has basic knowledge about the device

Fabric-Device Management Interface (FDMI)Collecting information about devices in a structured way

Read Diagnostic Parameter (RDP)Port errors on local and HBA

–Shows the local (Switch) port information including errors stats

–Shows the remote (HBA), connected port error stats

If the switch can read it from the HBA

Then the Storage Array can ask it from the Fabric Switch!

Now 3PAR knows what is going on all the way from the

host through the switch to itself (the array)

Peer ZoningSimplifying Zone administration

Traditional zoning methodSingle-initiator zoning (no initiator to initiator connectivity)

–Pros:–Uses least number of port CAM(* entries–Minimizes RSCN(** volume to end

devices–(Possibly) makes troubleshooting easier

–Cons:–Results in large number of zones

–Can exhaust zone database size limits–Heavy administrative burden

–Requires a lot of work and is prone to human errors

New (FOS v7.4+) zoning methodPeer Zoning (follows FC-SW-6(* and FC-GS-7(** standards)

– Simplify zoning configuration while achieving device isolation

– Improves performance and scalability– Peer Zoning Rules

– Membership asymmetry–Principal vs. non-Principal (Peers)–Communication allowed between Principal

and Peer members only–Communication disallowed among Peer

members including RSCN

– Co-exist with legacy (Single-initiator zoning) zoning for migration
