The following facilities are switch-based facilities and will continue to function on
any 3534 switch:
v
SNMP facilities
v
Simple QuickLoops with no zoning
v
Translative mode (private target support on fabrics)
v
Trunking (only functions between two IBM switches)
v
Enhanced performance metrics
The following facilities are IBM value-added facilities that are not supported in a
multi-vendor fabric. Use of these facilities causes the Fabric to segment.
v
QuickLoop zones
v
QuickLoop Fabric assist mode
v
Port, protocol, or LUN zoning
IBM is not aware of any areas of noncompliance with any ratified standards at this
time.
Host bus adapter interoperability
For a list of host bus adapters (HBAs) that have been tested and approved for use
with the 3534 Model F08, go to the following Web site:
www.storage.ibm.com/ibmsan/products/2109/san_switch_solu.html
Operating system support
Fabric OS versions 2.x and 3.x have no specific OS dependencies. The Fabric OS
in the switches allows for any Fibre Channel-compliant device to attach to the
switches as long as it conforms to the standards for device login, name service, and
related Fibre Channel features. Regardless of the operating environment, proper
interface to the fabric requires a Fibre Channel HBA with a standards-compliant
driver.
Reliability
The 3534 Model F08 provides the following features to ensure reliability:
v
POST
v
Error detection and fault isolation (internal and external CRC checking, parity
checking, checksum, and illegal address checking)
v
Continuous monitoring of environmental components (fan status and
temperature)
v
DC power in proper range monitoring
v
Low component count
Because buffering is integrated into the ASICs in the 3534 Model F08, you do not
need external SRAM chips on the system board.
The 3534 Model F08 utilizes a highly integrated 80960VH processor that
incorporates a memory controller, PCI bus arbiter, and I2C controller in the
processor chip, reducing the parts count for the processor functions. Because a
single system board contains all circuitry, the 3534 Model F08 requires no
interboard connections.
