Mahesh

SBC Introduction Called as Alicanto and new symm naming convention is Vmax

10K. 4 engine max system configuration i.e. 8 directors. Two flavors available , Fab less and fabric. Single engine is called fabless as we it does not require MIBE. Multi engine is called fabric system i.e. online up gradation of

engines by using MIBE( second engine always have MIBE and other will be connected to it).

Engine and drives present on the same bay and can have daisy chained bay .

Up to 64 DAEs ( 16 per engine). 6 DIMMs present for each engine.

SBC Engine layout Argonaut engine: Both the directors are next to

each other not as one on the top of other (Vmax 1).

Each engine has two power supplies and a management module.

FE is FCoE . Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE): Fibre Channel over Ethernet, FCoE is a proposed standard for using the Fibre Channel protocol over Ethernet networks. FCoE enables SAN traffic to be natively transported over Ethernet networks, while protecting and extending the investment that enterprises have made in storage networks.
