External FC ports
Two FC ports (for external connections) with LED indicators are found on the
interface controller: Port F0 and Port F1. See Figure 8 and Figure 9for the location
of the FC ports.
■ Green (ACT) - FC port activity
■ Green (LINK) - Valid FC link
SCSI buses (e2400-160 FC interface controller only)
Four SCSI buses with LED indicators are included in the FC interface controller.
See Figure 8 for the location of the SCSI buses.
■ Green - SCSI bus activity on corresponding port
Internal FC ports (e2400-FC 2G interface controller only)
The native FC interface controller has 6 native FC ports with LED indicators:
2ports (FC0 and FC1) connect to the SAN; 4 ports (TD0 through TD3) connect to
drives in the corresponding cluster. See Figure 9 for the location of these ports.
■ Green (ACT) - FC port activity
■ Green (LINK) - Valid FC link
LAN-free backup and restore
The e2400-160 FC and the e2400-FC 2G interface controllers can enable
LAN-free backup/restore to allow the bulk of data traffic to be moved from the
LAN to the storage area network (SAN).
