Aggregating multiple fiber ports on MDS directors

Hi All,
Going forward our new servers will have the capability of aggregating multiple fiber ports into fewer connections on the SAN switch. I am told that there is a particular setting that needs to be enable on the switch for this functionality to work, kindly let me know more details on this?
What we intend is to reduce the port usage on Cisco MDS9509 like in map in many hba's to few physical ports instead of one to one?
regards,
Samir

Switch-Server port channeling feature was added in MDS NX-OS 4.1(3). Make sure your MDS at least runs that release.

  • 10 gig iSCSI port in MDS 9509

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement of 128 port SAN switch (Director class)
    -          15 ports should be iSCSI 10g
    -          Rest 113 port should be 8 Gbps FC
          I am planning to go with two DS-X9248-96K9 module and one DS-X9224-96K9 to meet 120 ports.But I didnt find any 10 gig iSCSI port which is suported in 9509/9506 chassis. Can you please suggest? I can see only GE modules like DS-X9316-SSNK9.
          Also please suggest whether we get line speed in 48-Port 8-Gbps  Fibre Channel Switching Modules?
    Thanks in advance,
          Raghavendra

    Correct...the key is that the 48 port line card has the 96 in the p/n.  That indicates is it a performance module and has the 6 port groups.  There is also what is called a 48 port 8 gig host optimized line card.  That one only has 4 groups of 12, in which 1 of those (4 total) can operate in 8gig mode.
    The 24 port line card has 8 groups of 3 port...and 1 of those (8 total) can operate in 8 gig mode.
    As for the 10 gig iSCSI ports on the MDS...that will probaly not be a feature that the MDS will ever adopt.  The MDS is an iSCSI gateway, where by iSCSI initiator can access a native FC target.  With the advent of more and more natice iSCSI targets, and the move to 10GE, the Nexus 5K is the swtich to use.  It can host iSCSI targets and initiators and provide 10GE for both.  The MDS is not a 10GE switch.

  • How to submit data from multiple Input Ports in single SUBMIT button  click

    Hi,
    I am in SPS8.
    What exactly steps I need to perform to submit data from multiple Input Ports.
    I couldn't able to submit One input Form and one Input Table to BAPI data service in single SUBMIT button click.
    I debugged the VC application in SPS8.
    While debugging, I found that when I click the SUBMIT button in the Input Form, Only data in that Input
    form are being passed to the BAPI, But not the Table Form data.
    If I click on the SUBMIT button in another Input Table, Only data from that table is being passed to the BAPI, but not the Input form data.
    Essentially I need to submit both of them in one SUBMIT button.
    Thanks,
    Ramakrishna

    Ramakrishna,
    From the word document that you sent to me the steps you are missing to map the appropriate information into the BAPI is first you are not mapping all data rows into the table input port. To do this double click on the input table view and change your selection mode from single to multiple. Then when you click on your link between the BAPI and your input table you will see a new option appears under data mapping "Mapping Scope" select All Data Rows.
    That's the first part of the problem to get the BAPI to recognize both the inputs coming from the form and the table eliminate the submit button from the form. Drag and drop a link from the output port of the table view to the Input port of the BAPI. Double click on the link between the BAPI and the table view and open the expressions editor for the two fields:
    1/ Automatic Source
    2/ SKIP_ITEMS_WITH_ERROR
    On the hierarchical folder structure on the right expand expand the Data Fields node to find the fields from the form and map them accordingly.
    Now when you hit the submit button on your table it should pass the BAPI all the parameters from both the form and the table.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Scott

  • Multiple Input ports - Single Form

    Hi,
    I have a RFC which has multiple input ports. How do i use a single form to provide data to all the input ports.
    Regards
    Bharathwaj

    Hi,
    you can create the single form direct, if you pull a line out of the RFC, then the form must be created with the fields. If not, then you have to create it manually and map the fields with the input port.

  • Multiple midi ports....When will this happen?!

    So frustrating that there is still no multiple midi ports yet. I've been a long time user and am considering switching to Cubase because of this as I can not use Logic with VE Pro the way it is intended to be used. Will this ever be an option? Kind of defeats the whole purpose of VE Pro to have to open up multiple instances in Logic.

    I agree. Logic Physical Input supports Multiple Ports however the Sequencer does not. The Logic Sequencer is limited to record up to 16 MIDI Channels coming from Any Port. The alternative is to direct cable the Physical Input Ports to Channel Splitters in the Environment and wire them to different Channel Strips. In this scenario you can wire up to say 256 Instruments cabled from different Physical MIDI Ports. If you want to Mixdown the incoming MIDI Ports you have to bounce in real time.

  • Make Fiber Ports Live on Catalyst 3750?

    Hello All,
    Have 2 Catalyst 3750's connected via fiber to the cisco gbics converts. Both gbic's are plugged into Slot 1 of 4 on the switches. Everything is physically hooked up correctly. My question is what command do I type to make the fiber ports active? I know the fiber led should go orange for 30 sec then green when you plug the fiber cable in the gbic but it's not working because I've got to make that port or interface active first right? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

    Double check the cabling. Unplug one of the patch cables from one of the gbics. Look at which connector on the gbic has the light coming out of it. Compare to the fiber patch for which connector has light coming out of it. Ensure you have the fiber plugged into the gbic such that light from one connects to dark on the other. Do this at both ends.
    Also, pull the gbics out of the switches & validate both are appropriate for the fiber type you are using. 1000-LX is for single mode fiber; 1000-SX is for multimode fiber.
    If you have the interface administratively shut down, this will fix it:
    int gig 0/1
    no shut

  • Multiple Output Ports In Logic Audio.

    Multiple Output Ports In Logic Audio.
    Many people have had problems with Multiple Output Ports with Logic Audio I have come up with a solution that allows me to program 8 synths using 8 ports. Have a look at my site if you have problems with your Output Ports

    I have come up with another way to look at the problem, and I have come up with an alternative solution to the problem. In the process I have learned something, but thank you for showing me the correct method.
    For sure, your efforts have lead to a greater understanding of how the Environment works, and yes, your method would work, but it's really long-winded :-)
    Another way to set this whole shebang up is to use Audio MIDI Setup to configure the 'Virtual" external synths, MIDI Ports, Receive Channels etc.
    When you make an External MIDI track in Logic via the Library, Logic will automatically create the Multi-Instrument objects, preconfigured with the correct channels enabled.
    The downside of this method comes with regard to Patch Names within the Multi-Instruments. You would need to set these up every time (or save as a template).
    Note: do not use the "Manual" Multi's at the same time as the Audio MIDI Setup method.... you end up with 2 of everything in the Library (and potentially duplicates in the Environment).

  • FIBER PORT UNSUPPORTS

    In my net lan i have a tp-link media converter and not have link with a fiber port Cisco SG500-52P 52-port Gigabit POE Stackable Managed Switch
    why not support?

    Your MC110CS is for use with 100 Mbps fiber links.  Reference.
    The Axcen is a 1 Gbps transceiver. Reference.
    Fiber links do not have the autonegotiation feature and thus you must have matching fixed speed transceivers at each end.

  • Multiple serial port initialisation problem

    Good Morning All
    I have attached a vi which is giving me a problem that I can't solve, and would appreciate any help.
    The vi is supposed to intialise up to 7 serial ports (only using 5 at the moment), and I'm assuming this is a plausible way to do the initialisation (could be wrong). The serial ports are connected to a pc via a usb hub. The windows XP o/s does recognise the ports according to the device manager.
    The problem is that when the vi is run the following error is reported as shown in the attached word document.
    I have compared the port settings in the device manager properties for each port to the vi settings and they match. What more can I do?
    If somebody has a setup with mutliple serial ports could they try the vi and see if it works for them?
    Thanks and best regards

    It has nothing to do with multiple serial ports.  It has to do with an invalid setting you are trying to use to configure any one of the serial ports.
    Look at the information in the error message.  Argument 4 of the property node in Configure Serial Port VI is the Stop Bits setting.  I see a coercion dot going into that VI, so that tells me the datatype you are wiring in doesn't quite match.
    You have an array of I32 values, and your values consist of 1's.  Disconnect that array and right click on the terminal of Configure Serial Port VI and pick Create Constant.  You'll see you get a ring data type.  It is a U16.  But if you look at the items in there, you'll see that stop bits 1.0 has a value of 10.  1.5 has a value of 15, 2.0 has a value of 20.  So the value of 1 has no meaning to that property node and you get an error.  You should be wiring in a value of 10.
    Delete that array.  Create an array of the ring constants.  Turn it into a control, and choose the correct ring value for each element of your array.
    You have several other coercion dots.  They may not be causing you problems, but I would consider disconnecting them, creating a constant of the correct datatype, and using that in the array you wire to the Configure subVI.
    I modified your VI and attached it.  See if it works for you.

  • Multiple network ports.... options?

    Our Xserve has 4 ethernet ports, but our switch doesn't support the right kind of link aggregation to make use of a fat trunked 4Gb connection to our network.
    Is there any way I can I make use of these multiple ports to enhance or optimise network traffic to our server, and if so, how?
    I guess I could activate and connect all 4 ports to our 2x 24 port switches, but each connection would need a different IP address – presumably that would affect DNS and accessing services on the server?
    Advice appreciated!!

    Really. At least, that was the case last December when we moved premises, bought the Xserve and a couple of these switches..... I think it's to do with that 'manual' bit in the Netgear specs – I have a feeling a little more intelligence on the part of the switch is required.
    I had read the specs and assumed it would work. Frustratingly, I tried everything (last year), and no good. I'm not at work just now, so I can't log in to the control panel, but from memory, all you can do is specify groups of ports to 'trunk' together – it works fine between the two switches (I've set up a two-port trunk between the switches), just not Xserve to Switch A (or B!).
    I really wanted this to work, as it would have balanced our network load to the server nicely, so if anyone thinks I've missed something........?

  • Can I use a USB hub to connect to multiple USB ports from one GPIB-USB-HS?

    I have one instrument which has a GPIB-USB-HS connected and the USB cable is connected to a USB hub. Can I have multiple PCs to connect using USB hub at their respective USB ports? If so, how many PCs can I connect using the USB cable?
    I have downloaded the latest NI-VISA from the website.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You would first need a hub that allows you to switch between multiple pc's and then only one pc at a time would be connected and in control.
    When you buy this special type of hub, one of the specs is how many pc connections it has.

  • Aggregating multiple lists into a single list.

    I have a SharePoint site with several sub-sites, each with its own document library. I’ve created Site Columns and a Custom Content Type that is used by each library. I want to roll up all the documents with their associated metadata into a single list and
    can’t figure out how to do it. I’ve tried using the Content Query and Content Search web parts, which do roll up the libraries, but I don’t get the display I want. I want to view the data as an aggregated list so all the list functions like filtering and creating
    multiple views are available.

    "I want to view the data as an aggregated list so all the list functions like filtering

    Unfortunately that is not possible. At-least not out of the box. If you do not want to use third party components then I think CQWP and CSWP is your best bet.

  • How can I set up multiple source ports in a SPAN session?

    Is it even possible to do this?
    I'm going to connect a network analyzer into our cat4506 switch (running 12.2x IOS). I used vlan 1 as the source, but that doesn't give us much so I'm think we may need to use all the physical ports as the source instead.
    Anyone has any suggestions??

    Yes, you can SPAN multiple ports, or multiple VLANs. This will SPAN ports 5/1 through 5/5. The spaces on either side of the dash are necessary.
