This hot-pluggable I/O module occupies one slot in the Oracle Fabric Interconnect F2-12 switch. The module provides interface to the virtualization switch's IB backbone as well as the Fibre Channel SAN.
The module's IB interface supports SDR, QDR, and EDR speeds (autonegotiating). The connection to the IB fabric occurs through the socket connection inside the virtualization switch.
The module's FC interface consists of the two FC ports that are industry-standard full duplex SFP+ optical interfaces offering data rates of 4, 8, and 16 Gbps per second (autonegotiating).
Each module supports a theoretical maximum of 128 virtual HBAs (VHBAs) per port for a maximum of 256 VHBAs per module. A fully loaded virtualization switch can support 12 modules, for a maximum offering of 3072 individual FC vHBAs.
Temperature sensors are used to monitor the operation temperature of critical components. The sensors are programmed with default threshold settings. High temperature condition will be reported as alerts to the switch and its event monitoring systems, for example,SNMP or Oracle ILOM.
