EMC Connectrix B Series DS-4900B Hardware Reference Manual

Preface
This document is a procedural guide to help SAN administrators configure
and manage a storage area network (SAN) using the Fabric OS Command
Line Interface (CLI).
As part of its effort to continuously improve and enhance the performance
and capabilities of the EMC product line, EMC periodically releases new
versions of the EMC Connectrix Departmental Switches and Enterprise
Directors. Therefore, some functions described in this guide may not be
supported by all versions of Fabric OS currently in use. For the most
up-to-date information on product features, see the product release notes.
If an EMC Connectrix Departmental Switch or Enterprise Director feature
does not function properly or does not function as described in this guide,
please contact the EMC Customer Support Center for assistance.
The guide applies to the following EMC product models:
◆ EMC Connectrix B switches: DS-220B, DS-8B3, DS-16B3, DS-32B2,
DS-4100B, and DS-4900B
These models contain a fixed number of ports (they are fixed-port
switches). The DS-220B, DS-4100B, and DS4900B allow you to
license and activate extra fixed ports with the Ports on Demand
feature.
◆ EMC Connectrix B directors: ED-24000B and ED-48000B
These models can contain a variable number of ports, which you
install by plugging port cards into the director chassis. The
ED-48000B can have up to 256 ports, and the ED-24000B can have
up to 128 ports.
