HP StorageWorks SAN Switches

A StorageWorks SAN Switch is an interconnect component built on Fibre Channel technology and has 2 Gb/s connectivity for an entry-level SAN. It is fully non-blocking and can provide up to 32 Gb/s switching capacity for uncongested sustained 2 Gb/s full duplex throughput.

For more information, refer to the appropriate SAN switch documentation.

Host Bus Adapters

The HBA is the interface between the servers and the F100 storage system. At least two HBAs, one for each cluster node, are required in the ProLiant Cluster F100 configuration.
