Hewlett Packard StoreFabric SN1200E Q0L13A / 870001-001 16Gb/s Single Port Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop / FCAL PCI Express / PCIe Host Bus Adapter / HBA – Brand New

Key Features and Benefits

Performance – Delivers, up to three times the IOPS1 , twice the data throughput (MB/s) and cuts latency by half compared to 8Gb FC HBAs

• Best Fibre Channel IOPS, latency and throughput performance enables increased application and database transactions per second, enables faster large block transfers and increases the number of VMs that can be supported per server.

Support for greater Server Virtualization – Ideal for high density server virtualization environments

• Enables more applications and VMs to run on a single server and Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment

Provides HPE ProLiant Connectivity to HPE Storage And Network – Robust interoperability testing

• Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing for connecting HPE ProLiant servers into HPE Storage and networking environments.
• Optimal for connecting to The HPE 16Gb FC edge/core network switches.

Smart SAN support – Smart SAN is a protocol agnostic application embedded in SAN components that enables the 3PAR to orchestrate configuration, settings and policies in a SAN. HPE Smart SAN’s Target Driven Zoning enables you to configure zones accurately in minutes and not in hours and its automatic discovery mechanism creates a powerful platform which would enable real-time diagnostics with self-healing in the near future.

Overview

Express Lane prioritization – The SN1200E enables I/O prioritization of physical or virtual server to a LUN or a group of LUNs ensuring priority delivery in high-traffic or congested storage networks. Managed with the Emulex OneCommand management software downloadable from HPE Software Downloads

NVMe over Fibre Channel Ready – The SN1200E & SN1100Q 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are NVMe-enabled to support emerging NVM Express (NVMe) over Fibre Channel storage networks.

Active Health System – All HPE 16Gb Fibre Channel adapters support HPE ProLiant Active Health System integration. This helps administrators accurately troubleshoot and resolves problem within the server faster.

Secure Firmware download – The SN1200E delivers enhanced security via the new secure firmware update feature which protects and ensures the authenticity of device firmware.

Forward error correction (FEC) – FEC is enabled and improved at 16Gb as required by the FC Specification, automatically correcting transmission errors and improving network performance and resiliency.

Class-specific Control (CS_CTL) – QoS capability that enables administrators to prioritize storage traffic to meet the needs of critical VM workloads

Link cable beaconing (LCB) – LED beaconing for ports on both ends of a physical link simplifies cable identification and management.

D-Port Diagnostics – Quickly run automated diagnostic tests in a single step, across multiple adapters, servers, and fabric components to assess connectivity. Optics and cable problems are identified and resolved.

FDMI,FC Ping, FC Trace Route – Quickly check connectivity to SAN devices and query the switch management server for in-depth details on connected devices. Trace Route capability supported on SN1100Q.

Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP) – Identify the source of network and media errors like cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and loss of sync (LOS) by remotely accessing diagnostic information from anywhere in the fabric.

Fabric-assigned Port Worldwide Name (FA_WWN) – Using SN1100Q &SN1000Q administrators can preconfigure WWN settings at the switch port allowing Fibre Channel adapter to acquire port WWN address from the Gen 5 16Gb or Gen 6 32GFCfabric. This allows SAN administrator to configure SAN zoning without need for servers to be present.

Fabric-based Boot LUN (F_BLD) – Allows SN1100Q & SN1000Q to acquire Boot-LUN information directly from Gen 5 16Gb switch, speeding up deployment of new servers in a SAN environment.

Buffer-to-Buffer Credit Recovery (BB_CR) – The SN1100Q enhances performance and resiliency by automatically recovering buffer credits, which can be lost on long distance and lossy connections with the potential to stall I/O or degrade performance.

Virtual Machine ID (VMID) – The SN1100Q enables System/SAN administrator to monitor FC traffic from VM to LUN.
