The Fabric OS allows any Fibre Channel-compliant device to attach to
the switches as long as it conforms to the device login, name service,
and related Fibre Channel standards. Each operating environment
requires that a Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) be available
with a standards-compliant driver for correct interface to the fabric.
Fabric OS consists of a set of embedded applications running on top
of an embedded Linux operating system kernel. These applications
include:
◆ Name server.
◆ Alias server.
◆ Zone server
◆ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent.
◆ SMI-S compliant API.
◆ Syslog auditing.
◆ RCS (Reliable Commit Service).
◆ NTP.
◆ Tasks to manage address assignment, routing, link initialization,
fabric initialization, link shutdown, ED-DCX-4S-B shutdown, and
the user interface.
