Installing a Switch in a Profile Video Network

16 April, 2003 Fibre Channel Switch 9

Installing a Switch in a Profile Video Network

Compared to a Fibre Channel hub, the Fibre Channel switch improves the

performance of your Fibre Channel installation by:

• Increasing the bandwidth between any two Fibre Channel devices by eliminating

the shared bandwidth of a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop.

• Improving the scalability of your Video Network. By managing your inter-switch

links, you can increase the size of your network without the shared bandwidth

concerns of a large loop.

The following figure shows the Profile Fibre Channel switch in a simple IP fabric

environment.

The sections that follow describe the installation and use of the QLogic SANbox2

Switch in a Profile Video Network environment. Topics include:

• Installing the required Profile System Software version.

• Loading the required Profile Fibre Channel firmware onto the Profile PDR Series

Fibre Channel card, and ensuring that other Fibre Channel devices on the fabric are

using compatible firmware.

You do not need to change the Fibre Channel firmware or drivers on Profile XP

systems.

• Configuring the Profile system to work with a switch (fcconfig -s on). This step is

not required on a Profile XP.

• Avoiding loop configurations in a fabric (switched) environment.
