About the Switches
The Sun StorEdge network FC switch-8 and switch-16 switches provide cable
consolidation and increased connectivity for the internal data interconnection
infrastructure.
The switches are paired to provide redundancy. Two switches are used in each Sun
StorEdge 3900 series, and four switches are used in each Sun StorEdge 6900 series.
Each Sun StorEdge network FC switch-8 and switch-16 switch is connected by way
of an Ethernet to the service network for management and service from the Storage
Service Processor.
These switches can be monitored through the SANSurfer GUI (for SAN Release 4.0)
or the SANbox Manager (for SAN Release 4.1), which is available on the Storage
Service Processor. You configure and modify the switches using the Configuration
Utilities.
Caution –
Do not configure or modify the switches using any method other than
the Configuration Utilities included in the
SUNWsecfg
package.
