IP over fiber channel

Idle curiosity question:
Does anyone know whether or not Netware or OES supports IP over fiber
channel?

If you dont use 802.1q (vlan):
You must create another fcip interface and use existing fcip profile, but when configuring peer-info
address you should use another ip address.
fcip profile 1
ip addres 1.1.1.1
exit
int fcip 1
use profile 1
peer-info ipaddress 1.1.1.2
int fcip 1
use profile 1
peer-info ipaddress 1.1.1.3

  • XSERV RAID FIBER CHANNEl

    We have XSERV RAID MODEL A1009 with 4 Hard disk RAID 5.
    Now I have installed CISCO 1000Base SX Module in 3 COM Switch & other same Module in XSERVER RAID. Now XSERVE RAID & switcted with Transeiver cable. Now I check RAID ADMIN TOOL FIber Channel Option the links shows down.
    Let me know what is solution. Please also let me know how can I know that fiber link is up if any way.

    Finisar makes a nice SFP to LC transceiver (available on the Apple Store for $99.95 for 2 Gbit and $119.95 for 4 Gbit) that you can use in the Xserve to allow it to accept LC optical cables. You'll need 2 of these, and then you can hook up LC optical cables.
    I'll echo the other post -- be aware those ports are for fibre channel communication ONLY. You must hook it to a fibre channel card (HBA) in a host, or to a fibre switch (i.e. Cisco MDX 9000 series). You cannot hook up a network connection to those ports -- Xserve RAID provides data ONLY over fibre channel, it is not a NAS device. You must connect it to a host which can re-share the data over Ethernet, for example Xserve RAID with OS X Server which can reshare using AFP, SMB/CIFS, NFS, FTP, DAV, and more.

  • What are the host network requirements for a 2012 R2 failover cluster using fiber channel?

    I've seen comments on here regarding how the heartbeat signal isn't really required anymore - is that true?  We started using Hyper-V in its infancy and have upgraded gleefully every step of the way.  With 2012 R2, we also upgraded from 1gb iSCSI
    to 8GB Fiber Channel.  Currently, I have three NICs in use on each host.  One for "No cluster communication" on it's own VLAN.  Another for "Allow cluster network communication on this network" but NOT allowing clients, on
    a different VLAN.  And lastly the public network which allows cluster comms and clients on it (public VLAN).
    Is it still necessary to have all three of these NICs in use?  If the heartbeat isn't necessary any more, is there any reason to not have two public IPs and do away with the rest of the network?  (two for fault tolerance)  Does Live Migration
    still use Ethernet if FC is available?  I wasn't sure what all has changed with these requirements since Hyper-V first came out.
    If it matters, we have 5 servers w/160GB RAM, 8 NICs, dual HBAs connected to redundant FC switches, going to two SANs.  We're running around 30 VMs right now.  
    Can someone share their knowledge with me regarding the proper setup for my environment?  Many Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can setup cluster with a single network but that leaves you with single point of failure on the Networking front, it is still recommended to have a heartbeat network.
    Live migration would still happen though Ethernet, it has nothing to do with FC. Don't get confused, you had iSCSI for storage which used one of your VLAN and now you have FC for your storage.
    Your hardware specs looks good. You can set up the following networks -
    1. Public Network - Team two or more NICs (based on bandwidth aggregation)
    2. Heartbeat Network - Don't use teamed Adaptor
    3. Live Migration - Team two or more NICs (based on bandwidth aggregation)
    Plan properly and draw guidelines to visualize and to remove single point of failure at all points.
    Feel free to ask if you have some more queries.
    Regards

  • External Fiber Channel Raid options for New Xserve besides Promise V-Trak

    I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there is an alternate option for a External Raid that can be hooked up via 4gb Fiber Channel to my new Xserve. I am really looking for a more cost efficient one than the 12K Promise set up from Apple. My Technology vendor was telling me that you have to use the Promise Raid as it is the only one that a Xserve will control due to Apple's licensing of its drivers etc. for its Fiber channel. Something tells me that this is not true.
    Anyone have any recomendations for a Fiber channel Raid solution in the 6K dollar range?
    thanks,
    Dan

    Find another vendor. Anyone that tells you the Promise is the only RAID that will work clearly doesn't understand the market.
    As for recommendations, you need to include some idea of capacity, either usable or raw. I can find you a lot of options for $6K if you want a 100GB of data. Not so many if you want 100TB.

  • Fiber Channel Error

    Having a problem with the Fiber Channel on our Xserve RAID. The Admin Utility says that Fiber Link 1 is Down (and it's red), but everything is properly connected, I have restarted several times, unplugged and plugged back in, done a few upgrades to the firmware and it still says it's down.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I swapped the Fibre cables, controller and reseated the card in the mac. Still nothing. I noticed under the Hardware Overview that there is not even an option for Fibre Channel. Is this due to the system running 10.3.9?
    Thanks.

  • Kernel panic when connecting fiber channel

    I recently inherited an Xserve RAID. I have an LSI fiberchannel card in a G4 running 10.5.5.
    Anyway, I updated the firmware to version 1.5 and now everytime I connect the fiber channel cable I get a Kernel panic instantly and have to force power down.
    I've tried 3 different cables on and every port on the mac and the xserve and get the same result.
    any idea what's going on?

    Well, i just upgrade to 10.8 and its solved the question.

  • Use of Fiber Channel in Boot Camp with Windows XP

    Hi All,
    I am looking at getting a Mac Pro for a project that requires I use Windows XP under boot camp and wanted to know if there were any problems accessing a RAID array via the standard 4GB Fiber Channel adapter available through apple. I don't need to boot off this drive, just access data on it. Not a lot of information on the official apple support pages...
    Thanks!

    Yes, XP will be able to detect the expansion card if you download the appropriate drivers online. When bootcamp was first starting... this article circulated http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305401... summary, you should remove the fiber channel card before bootcamping. Since then the software has gone through the proper modifications that you can just plug the card in, boot into windows, and download the LSi driver for XP.
    So you'll have no problem setting this up.
    Cheers
    Ron

  • What channels are added in getting HD Extrememe over the channels in TV Essentials​?

    What channels are added in getting HD Extrememe over the channels in TV Essentials. Is there a coherent and specific list of the channels added anywhere? I surfed the Verizon website and materials and only got frustrated.

    Go to: http://www22.verizon.com/Residential/FiOSTV/Channe​lLineup/ChannelLineup.htm?zipCode=15102
    Once there, type in your zip code and select your appropriate county. From there, you can click on "Essentials Plan," see what is offered there, and then click on "Extreme HD Plan," and compare the different channels.
    Hope this helps.
    Give Kudos to those who deserve.

  • OVM 3.1.1 Add new Fiber Channel LUN on the go

    Hello everyone,
    I've a question regarding Fiber Channel LUNs. I need to present a new Fiber Channel LUN to my 2 production servers and I would ask what's the best procedure to do this.
    Usually I turn off servers present FCP LUN then turn servers on, but what if I can't poweroff servers?? There's a way to present FCP LUNs without powering off servers??
    Thanks in advance. ;)

    I have already met this problem.
    In the Manager, you can right-click a VM Server and select "re-scan physical disks". That sounds like it would work, right?
    Well, it has NEVER worked for me. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
    But what DOES work is:
    Present the LUN to all servers.
    Go to one of the servers, log in as root, and run: rescan-scsi-bus.sh
    This makes the new LUN known to the server.
    Then go back to the Manger, and do the "rescan physical disks" thing. This gime the new LUN will appear, and it even appears to ALL servers in the cluster. You're done. (It seems like sometimes the LUN will appear in the GUI after running rescan-scsi-bus.sh, without doing anything. But I'm not sure.)

  • Mac Pro w/ Fiber Channel, Can it sleep with XRaid attached?

    I wanted to know if the new mac Pro can fall asleep when it has an xraid attached via its fiber channel card.
    My Dual 2ghz G5 does not, this is why I'm asking.
    Your comments are welcomed.

    Not sure, but on the 'old' one,by design, NEITHER the Fiber card and Raid card will allow 'doze' but not 'deep sleep' of the Mac Pro in order to sustain connectivity, battery charge and redundancy, respectively.
    I doubt that changed.
    Anyone?

  • Base station beckoning to all nodes over common channel!

    Hi All,
         I'm working over Routing Protocols for wireless sensor networks. Some protocols mention this, "Base station sends beckon signal to all the nodes which it can reach over a common channel" and they use the Received Signal Strength of beckon signals for further protocol formulation. So, my doubt lies in the initiating step. What does sending over common channel mean? Is it that they assume base station to know exact locations of all the nodes in network and sends them the beckon signal initially? Or is that the base station sends some messages over a common channel (say air medium) and all nodes are assumed to catch at least one of those messages and records the Received Signal Strength for further protocol formulation? Please enlighten me  over this! 
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vinodh

    Abhinav, 
    You are correct about NI's WSN nodes but it sounds like Vinodh is talking about wireless protocols in general. A common channel would be a defined part of the RF spectrum such as a wifi channel. Generally the radio hardware/software will be able to report back signal strength (RSSI or LQI). Once that is calculated they can send it back to the gateway and then the gateway can use the information for optimizing the network.

    Yes it does. I've done it and the newest Xserve is plug and play with the old Xserve RAID.
