1. Introduction & Objective

The objective of this document is to define a migration plan for the CUSTOMER – NJ Production SAN. This dual

fabric migration will allow CUSTOMER - NJ to migrate from an aging infrastructure to newer technology, allowing

for future growth and feature availability.

As part of this architecture development, Brocade has been engaged to provide recommendations on cabling and

device positioning within the data center. This document provides an overview of the environment after the build-

out is complete. The final design is presented in a manner that will serve as a guide for CUSTOMER to migrate

from their existing Silkworm 12000 architecture to the two newly purchased Brocade 48000 Directors and the two

edge Brocade 4900 switches. This document also takes into account specific requests of the CUSTOMER Group to

implement port layout standards and a combination of a migration and device relocation.

Brocade’s ability to support large SANs allows us to meet CUSTOMER’s business requirements. Brocade’s ability

to deliver 4 GB/s technology further enhances Brocade’s value to CUSTOMER. Brocade can deliver a 4 GB/s

solution that is ready for future capabilities such as virtualization or disk to disk backup. The deployment of 4 GB/s

technology also enables Brocade to deliver an architecture that optimally uses ISLs, resulting in more user ports,

while limiting datacenter footprint. Supporting Brocade’s unique technology is an extensive Professional Services

portfolio to design and implement the proposed technology resulting in a business solution that minimizes

CUSTOMER’s risk and costs.

3. Migration Overview

CUSTOMER has engaged Brocade Professional Services to help facilitate the migration of the Core Directors in the

NJ Production SAN and integrate four additional Brocade 4900 edge switches into their environment. This

migration is scheduled for April 28, 2007. Logistical information can be found in the following sections of this

document. Information of the SAN included in this document was based on a SAN Health report dated April 21,

2007.

Due to data center footprint/resource limitations this migration will require the shutdown and removal of one 12000

Director at a time and the replacement Brocade 48000 Director to be installed in the old 12000 Director’s place. To

mitigate risk of any issues with the new equipment CUSTOMER has powered on the 48000 Directors prior to the

scheduled migration date and verified there is no known issues. This type of migration depends heavily on the

alternate fabric for data connectivity; hence each connected device will be required to switch to the opposite fabric

that is currently being upgraded. See Figure 1 for a graphical representation of this process. Once the new Brocade

48000 is brought online with all the proper configurations and connections, the CUSTOMER group will verify

connectivity of all required hosts before the remaining 12000 Director is replaced and brought up and verified with

the same procedures as described previously.

It is important to note that the CUSTOMER Group has requested to relocate storage devices in addition to the Core

Director migration. It is always a best practice to limit the number of changes to any environment to expedite

troubleshooting, however this has been discussed and both Brocade and CUSTOMER have done due diligence to

prepare for the storage port relocation activity. As with any migration it is a best practice to limit the amount of

change to the environment with regards to host/storage connectivity. See Table 1 for details of required installation

parameters.

4. Device Connection Strategy & Detail

This section establishes device connection strategy for the Brocade 48000 Directors. It is best practice to have a

SAN connection strategy for all devices attached to each switch in the SAN. The following Figures and Tables

incorporate Brocade best practices as much as possible with the consideration of the port layout requested by the

CUSTOMER Group.

The ISL connection strategy has been maintained for all existing switch devices and a high performance/ high

redundancy connection strategy has been established for the implementation of the Brocade 4900 Edge Switches.

To allow for growth, additional ports have been provisioned for ISL’s and at the request of the CUSTOMER Group

the ports will be occupied by Storage Devices. These “Storage Ports” ports allow for logical expansion

(neighboring ports) of all ISL’s and also maintains the ability to use Trunking if these ports were utilized. These

ports can always be “moved” for any device/ISL connectivity if required.

5. SAN Operation

5.1. Rack Layout, Size/Weight, and Installation

Brocade recommends the utilization of 42U racks as they are able to accommodate 3 48000’s which will allow

CUSTOMER to further minimize the datacenter footprint. The table below provides Silkworm 48000 System Size

and Weight information as well as Brocade installation procedures and checklist for correct 48000 installation.

When using three SilkWorm 48000s in a 42u rack, there is no space between the directors and therefore it is

necessary to deploy a cabling system where the cables are routed horizontally and then vertically down the sides of

the rack. (see Figure 6).

Figure 6 - Vertical Cable Guide



of 34

Figure 7 – Proper Cable Management

Table 6 - SilkWorm 48000 Size & Weight Specifications

The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and operation:

1. Provide a space that is 14 rack units (14U) high, 29-inches deep, and 19-inches wide. 1U is equal to 1.75 inches.

2. Plan to install the SilkWorm 48000 with the non-port side facing the air-intake aisle.

3. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis



of 34

• Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of

the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.

4. Ensure that two dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:

• 200 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz

• Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes

• Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate to the electrical rating on the chassis nameplate

• Location close to the SilkWorm 48000 chassis and easily accessible

• Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician, compatible with the power cords

5. Ensure that the blowers in the SilkWorm 48000 have access to a total minimum air flow of 350 cubic feet per

minute (595 cubic meters per hour).

6. Ensure that the air intake and exhaust vents have a minimum of 2 inches of airspace.

7. Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side is less than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit)

during operation.

5.2. Switch Data Center Location Scheme

Brocade recommends the separation of devices to provide redundancy and availability in the event of a data center

event such as water pipe failure, localized fire, rack tip over, etc. It is recommended that fabrics be separated into

different racks to avoid a complete outage in the event of one of the fore mentioned situations

5.3. Power Redundancy and Requirements

The power subsystem is a redundant +48V DC power distribution system with a provision for up to four 1000-watt,

48V DC bulk power supplies. Four bulk power supplies produce the intermediate distribution voltage in the

distributed power system.

The power specifications listed in the table below are calculated for fully loaded systems with two power supplies. A

fully loaded system has eight FC4-32 port blades, two CP4 blades, and three blower assemblies.



of 34

Table 7 - SilkWorm 48000 Power Specifications & Requirements

Brocade recommends that each power supply will attach to a separate power circuit. The above specifications are

required for successful implementation of the Brocade SilkWorm 48000. Customer will have dual power feeds for

each director, therefore the recommendation to have each power supply on a different circuit will be met.

5.4. Environmental Requirements

The Table below lists the environmental operating ranges for the SilkWorm 48000. The requirements for non-

operating conditions are also provided for acceptable storage and transportation environments.



of 34

Table 8 - SilkWorm 48000 Environmental Requirements

5.5. Cabling Requirements & Recommendations

The current cabling infrastructure will be utilized for the new environments. The current infrastructure has not been

physically inspected by Brocade, however, the use of 50 micron multimode cabling and short wave optics require a

maximum distance of 492 feet at speeds of 4G.

If the core tier is placed within the center of the data center, the minimum cable requirement is:

• 50 micron Multimode LC to LC Cabling

o The supported Maximum Distance of 50 Micron Multimode Cable at 4G is 492 Feet.

Below is a list of Cabling Best practices:

• Label each end of the cable with a removable label that identifies the source and destination. Be very

careful if zip ties are used. If pulled too tight, sever pressure may be applied to the cable.

• Bundle cables together in groups of four whenever possible. A bundle is easier to manage. Bundle the

cables with wraps, wire ties, or Velcro every 18 to 24 inches. This can vastly improve the ability to isolate a

bad cable and remove it with minimal impact.

• In a high-density environment, try using a combination of thinner patch cables, patch panels, and bundled

cables. This can be effective in a static environment. Do not design a dynamic high-density system.

• Use the correct length cable

• Try to separate ISL cables and device cables.

• Use horizontal guides to route cables to the edge of a rack. Use vertical guides to route cables to the correct

height.

• Do not mix 50 micron and 62.5-micron cables.

• Keep patch panels clean and all ports capped.

• Keep all cables bagged and capped when not in use.



of 34

5.6. Domain IDs

Brocade recommends that each Domain ID be set to insistent. Insistent domain ID allows the switch to insist on a

specific domain ID before joining a fabric. This feature guarantees that a switch operates only with its pre-assigned

domain ID. Insistent domain IDs remain the same over reboots, power cycles, failovers, and fabric reconfigurations.

Brocade also recommends that the Core Director with lowest Domain ID in each Fabric be manually configured as

Fabric Principal. It is also recommended that the Principal Switch in each fabric be the only point for administering

the fabric.

The Domain ID of 1 will be used for each Brocade 48000 Director.

5.7. LAN Interface

Brocade’s best practice is to have the 2 fabrics on 2 separate VLANs to stop any potential LAN problems causing

both fabrics to fail. It is also recommended that the Silkworms directors be protected by a firewall. Please reference

LA1 Guidelines For Brocade SilkWorm Switches (53-0000350-0x) for further detail on best practices for connecting

SilkWorm Switch to the LAN. Figure 8 identifies the recommended LAN interface for the proposed SAN.

Figure 8 – SilkWorm Populated LA6 Reference Architecture

5.8. Cable Labeling

The recommendations for cable labeling are:

• Each cable will have a unique label.

• A cable will be labeled identically at each end

• The labels will be strong and robust and should be of the “tie-wrap” type and not sticky labels that will deteriorate over a period of time.

• Cables will be generically labeled and not refer to host, switch, fabric or zone etc, this ensures that a label will not be misleading when hosts, zones and switches change over time.



of 34

• Serial numbers of all cables purchased should be noted in a spreadsheet. This will be used to cross reference the routing of cables.

• Cables of at least three different colors should be purchased. These will be used to differentiate between ISL, Host and Storage connections.

5.9. Silkworm 48000 Licensing

The following licensed features are required for the CUSTOMER chosen architecture:

• Full Fabric

• Zoning + Advanced Zoning

• ISL Trunking

• Advanced Web Tools

• Fabric Manager

The following licensed features are recommended for the CUSTOMER chosen architecture:

• Fabric Watch

• Advanced Performance Monitoring

6. Zoning

� As part of the migration the zoning database will be transferred over from the existing

Brocade 12000 Directors.

7. Trunking

Brocade ISL Trunking is a licensed feature, which optimizes the use of bandwidth by allowing a group of

interswitch links to merge into a single logical link. Trunks distribute traffic dynamically and in order at the frame

level, achieving greater performance with fewer interswitch links.

Brocade ISL Trunking reduces or eliminates situations that require static traffic routes and individual ISL

management to achieve optimal performance. Trunking optimizes fabric performance by distributing traffic across

the shared bandwidth of all the interswitch links in a trunking group, allowing traffic to flow through any available

link in a group rather than restricting it to a specific, potentially congested link. The use of trunking results in

simplified fabric design and management, lowered cost of ownership, and increased data availability.

Brocade has designed the trunking scheme such that multiple trunks connect each switch to any other switch. This

approach optimizes availability and connectivity in the event that a blade needs to be replaced. Using this scheme, in

the event that a bale needs to be replaced, connectivity and the fabric remain intact.

The following criteria are necessary for standard distance trunking:

• There must be a direct connection between participating switches

• Trunk ports must reside in the same port group



of 34

• Trunk ports must run at the same speed (either 2Gbit/sec or 4Gbit/sec)

• Trunk ports must be set to the same ISL mode (L0 is the default)

• Trunk ports must be E_Ports

• Cable lengths for participating links should differ by no more than 550 meters

• The switch.interopMode parameter must be set to 0

• The port ISL mode must be disabled (using the portCfgIslMode command)

8. SAN Management & Security

Below are Brocade Recommendations for SAN Management & Security:

E-Port Lock Down

• Lock Down E_Ports and persistently disable unused ports - This limits the creation of switch-to-switch

ports. Use portCfgEport to lock down all ports except those that are to be ISLs. Note that if Trunking is

used, and additional bandwidth is required in the trunk group, the port must be re-enabled to allow E-Port

configuration. An alternate method is to use the command portCfgPersistantDisable to persistently disable

a port.

Telnet Timeout

• Telnet Timeouts - All versions of Fabric OS 2.6.x, 4.0.x, 3.0.x and subsequent releases enable the

automatic timeout of a telnet session in minutes by using the command > timeout. The default setting

for telnet timeouts is version dependent. A timeout value of zero means there is no timeout. If the timeout

value is set, an idle telnet connection will be disconnected once the timeout value is reached.

S6MP

• CUSTOMER SNMP usage is undetermined at this time

Syslog

• Syslog typically generates service-specific messages for computing platforms. Syslog information is

appropriate for fault and performance management. Syslog collection, monitoring, and analysis are other

fault management processes. Syslog Management helps to reduce problem resolution time by identifying

and resolving many faults proactively before more serious problems are experienced or reported by users.

Syslog also provides a more efficient method of collecting status for a wide variety of problems when

compared to consistent SNMP polling for a large number of MIB variables. Syslog collection, monitoring,

and analysis are accomplished by utilizing the recommended Brocade configuration, Syslog correlation

tools, and customized scripts.

• Syslog event management is performed by parsing collected Syslog data for identified critical messages

and then forwarding an alert, or trap, to an event manager for real-time notification and resolution. Syslog

monitoring requires Network Management System (NMS) tool support or scripts to help parse and report

Syslog data. This includes the capability to sort Syslog messages by date/time period, device, Syslog

message type, or message frequency. In larger networks, tools or scripts can be implemented to parse

Syslog data and send alerts or notifications to event management systems or operations and engineering

personnel. If alerts for a wide variety of Syslog data are not used, the organization should review higher

priority Syslog data at least daily and create trouble tickets for potential problems in order to proactively

detect problems that are not seen through normal monitoring. Periodic review and analysis of historical

Syslog data is suggested to detect situations that might not indicate an immediate problem, but can provide

an indication of a problem before it affects service levels.



of 34

• SilkWorm software maintains an internal log of error messages of different severity. The log is

implemented as a circular buffer, with a storage capability that is Fabric OS release dependent. After the

buffer limit is reached, the next error message will overwrite the message at the beginning of the buffer.

When configured, a SilkWorm switch will send all the internal error messages to a syslog daemon as they

occur. It sends a UDP packet to port 514 on the syslogd machine. By exporting SilkWorm errors to a

syslogd capable machine, the limitation of the internal circular buffer is eliminated.

The syslog information is currently being used by CUSTOMER and will be transferred over to the Brocade 48000

Directors.
