Emulex Fibre Channel Port Aggregation (i.e. Trunking)
Exclusive feature offered by Emulex
Server Emulex Brocade

• Fibre Channel Port Aggregation allows for HBA Top of Rack Switch
physical ports to be aggregated and create
a virtual port with the combined bandwidth
• Benefits include:
– Higher bandwidth for applications 32GFC
such as data warehousing and VM
migration
– Resolves congestion issues due to
higher bandwidth
– OS independence: Port aggregation 64G Virtual Port
performed at frame level – supports all (2x 32GFC)
OSs
Emulex FC Port Aggregation
Emulex Fibre Channel Trunking (port aggregation)
FOS prerequisites (from SRN 8.2.1b)
• FOS 8.2.1b and above does support F-port Trunking to Broadcom Emulex
HBAs with trunking configuration with portTrunkArea command.
• F-port Trunking to Emulex HBAs are supported on all Brocade GEN6 platforms
with Brocade ISL Trunking license installed.
• F-port Trunking to Emulex HBAs is supported on links that are operating
minimally at 16Gbps.
• F-port Trunking to Emulex HBA is not supported in Access Gateway mode.

No Reboots for Firmware Updates - Industry first!
Increases server and application uptime
• Enable new FC features for LPe35000-series HBAs

without requiring a server reboot
– Activates new FC features by validating no-reboot
required after firmware down completion*
• Operating system agnostic No-reboot

– Does not require OS and driver awareness Firmware Updates
Simplifying data center

upgrades for feature
enablement
*Rare conditions like initializing FC trunking require a reboot

Security Enhancements
• Only HBA supplier with Silicon Root of Trust

– Checks for authentic firmware every time the system is
booted & before installing any new firmware
– Hardware-based verification of firmware
– Complies with NIST 800-193
• Digitally signed drivers

– Drivers are digitally signed and are verified to be authentic
code written by Broadcom before they can be installed
– Integrated with all major enterprise OS’s
Ongoing security
• Secure Boot strengthening to ensure the
– Secure Boot guarantees UEFI boot code security with most reliable and secure

Fabric Performance Impact Notifications (FPINs)
• New FC standard to allow fabric to send state notifications to end devices
– T11 FC-GS-8, FC-LS-5, FC-FS-6
• The Basics
– Devices register for participation
– Fabric distributes notifications
– Device Actions – Count, Log, PassUp, Change behavior
FPIN Classes Description Example

FPIN-CN Congestion Notification Oversubscription for 5-minutes, likely causing
congestion. Emulex uses to remediate fabric congestion
FPIN-LI Link Integrity Invalid CRC errors. Link is “sick” but not dead.
Intelligent MPIO
FPIN-DN Delivery Notification Command frame discarded due to timeout. Notification
of exception
FPIN-PN Peer Notification A message to informother peers in the SAN warning of
congestion impacts.
Emulex FPIN Strategy
Feature - Receive State Behavior Comments
Congestion Notification(FPIN-CN) • Register for When FPINs are
Link Integrity(FPIN-LI) • Receive passed up to
On by default • Pass up user space, if no
Delivery Notification(FPIN-DN) • Log FPIN for log levelset one is looking, no
Peer Notification(FPIN-PN) one seesit
Signaling • Register for Signaling islike
• Receive very fast FPIN-
When enabled
• Pass up CNs
• Log FPIN for log levelset
Emulex CongestionManagement • Suppress FPIN-CN’sand
When enabled signals from being
passed up
• Emulex sends no FPINs to the Fabric

– Risk of causing problems in the Fabric
• Target Hardware and Firmware is enabled: Target vendors can implement support
when they are ready
Fabric Notifications for Congestion Management
How Emulex SAN Manager (ESM) uses FPINs for complete congestion solution
Fibre Channel Congestion Notification

First and only solution to both Emulex FPINs are created by the
monitor and mitigate congestion Congestion Fabric
(Oversubscription violation)
Mitigation
based on new FPIN standards
FPIN-PN (inserted)
Bully Server FPIN-CN
(server causing congestion)
1. The Fibre Channel Fabric creates and sends congestion notifications (FPINs and Gen 7 signals)
2. Bully servers are told directly that they are causing problems (FPIN-CN received on HBAport)
3. Congestion is managed on the bully server HBA
– Based on ESM policy-based congestion management
– With no dependency on the other side of the connection
– With no host OS or upper layer SW involvement
