Emulex LightPulse LPe12000 User manual

LPe12000/LPe12002
ConneCtivity
Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled
scalability, and industry-leading virtualization
support make the single-channel Emulex LightPulse
LPe12000 and dual-channel LPe12002 8Gb Fibre
Channel (8GFC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) ideal
solutions for enterprise, mixed-OS and virtual server
environments.
Proven Design, Architecture and Interface
Emulex LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated
processor design minimizes onboard components to
improve host performance and efficiency. Advanced
error-checking features ensure the integrity of block
data as it traverses the Storage Area Network (SAN).
Emulex’s firmware-based architecture enables
feature and performance upgrades without costly
hardware changes. The unique Service Level
Interface (SLI™) allows use of a common driver
across all models of Emulex HBAs on a given OS
platform. Installation and management facilities are
designed to minimize server reboots and further
simplify deployment. Emulex is trusted by data
centers the world-over, with more than 11 million
HBA ports shipped and installed to date.
Powerful Management Software for
Maximum Data Center Efficiency
The Emulex OneCommand®Manager enterprise
class management application features a
multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that
provides centralized management of all Emulex
HBAs and Universal Converged Network Adapters
(UCNAs). This enables IT administrators to manage
Fibre Channel (FC), Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE), Internet Small Computer System Interface
(iSCSI) and Network Interface Card (NIC) adapters
with one tool for maximum efficiency. The unique
OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware
vCenter™enables adapters to be managed directly
within the VMware environment, further simplifying
the management process.

4Gb to 8Gb and enhanced virtualization capabilities
help support IT “Green” initiatives
· Frame-level Multiplexing and out-of-order frame
reassembly increases link efficiency and maximizes
HBA performance.
Data protection features
·
End-to-end data protection with hardware parity, CRC,
ECC and other advanced error checking and correcting
algorithms ensure data is safe from corruption.
Deployment and management features
· Universal Boot capability allows the appropriate
boot environment to be automatically selected for
any given hardware.
· Boot from SAN capability reduces system
management costs and increases uptime.
· Detailed real-time event logging and tracing
enables quick diagnosis of SAN problems.
· Beaconing feature flashes the HBA LEDs,
simplifying their identification within server racks.
· Environmental monitoring feature helps to optimize
SAN availability.
Management Features
· The Emulex AutoPilot Installer automates the HBA
installation process and significantly reduces time
to deployment and administrative costs. Automated
installation and configuration of driver and
management tools simplifies deployment of multiple
adapters within Windows environments. A single
installation of driver and management application
eliminates multiple reboots and ensures that each
component is installed correctly and the HBA is
ready to use.
· The Emulex OneCommand Manager application
enables centralized discovery, monitoring, reporting,
and administration of Emulex adapters on local
and remote hosts. Powerful automation capabilities
facilitate remote driver parameter, firmware and
boot code upgrades. Advanced diagnostic features
such as adapter port beaconing and adapter
statistics help to optimize management and network
performance while the environmental monitoring
feature helps to maintain optimum host to fabric
connections. In addition to the GUI interface,
management functions can also be performed via
a scriptable Command Line Interface (CLI) as well
as a web browser. With in-band and out-of-band
management capabilities, Emulex provides data
center administrators with the greatest level of
management flexibility.
· Emulex’s management instrumentation complies to
Open Management Standards, such as SMI-S and
common HBA API support, which enables seamless
upward integration into enterprise storage and
server management solutions.
