The following table lists the ThinkSystem DB610S system specifications.

The following table lists the DB610S FC SAN Switch models.

Note: The switch comes standard without a power cord; one power cable must be purchased together with the switch. See the Power supplies and cables section for details.

Firmware entitlement is included with the DB610S FC SAN Switch and provides lifetime, 3 years or 1 year of firmware support, depending on the model. See the Models section for specifics.

Firmware entitlements can be upgraded as follows:

• All models: Firmware entitlement is included in any warranty service upgrades.
• Models HC1, HC2 and HC3 (now withdrawn): Entitlement upgrades are available up to 7 years in 1-year or 2-year increments as listed in the following table.

The DB610S FC SAN Switch models ship with port licenses (port activations) and transceivers as listed in the following table.

For models without the full 24 ports activated, the remaining ports can be activated by purchasing and installing Ports on Demand (POD) licenses. Port licenses and transceiver bundles are sold in 8-port increments. The following table lists the ordering information. Some licenses include transceivers as indicated.

With the flexibility of the DB610S FC SAN Switch, customers can choose the following connectivity:

• For 32 Gb FC links, customers can use 32 Gb FC SFP+ SWL optical transceivers for distances up to 100 meters on 50 µ OM4 multimode fiber optic cables. For longer distances, the 32 Gb FC LWL SFP+ optical transceivers can support up to 10 kilometers on single-mode fiber optic cables. These transceivers can operate at 32 Gbps, 16 Gbps, or 8 Gbps speeds.
• For 16 Gb FC links, customers can use 16 Gb FC SFP+ SWL optical transceivers for distances up to 125 meters on 50 µ OM4 multimode fiber optic cables. For longer distances, the 16 Gb FC LWL SFP+ optical transceivers can support up to 10 kilometers on single-mode fiber optic cables. For extended distances, the 16 Gb FC ELWL SFP+ optical transceivers can support up to 25 kilometers on single-mode fiber optic cables. These transceivers can operate at 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, or 4 Gbps speeds.
• For the 1 GbE RJ-45 management port, customers can use UTP cables for distances up to 100 meters.

The DB610S FC SAN Switch models ship with 8x or 24x SWL transceivers as listed in the table in the Port activation licenses section. Additional SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP+ transceivers can be ordered for the switch, if needed.

The following table lists the supported SFP+ options and cables.

* When using ELW SFP+ transceivers over distances over 10 km, the Extended Fabric feature that is available in the Enterprise Bundle is required on a SAN switch to drive the maximum bandwidth over the extended links.
** Recommended and supported across the largest number of Lenovo DB Series and Brocade branded Gen 6 and Gen 7 switches. This transceiver is limited to 16G and 32G connection speeds.

The following table lists the cabling requirements for the switch.

As listed in the Models section, some models include a set of software features known as the Enterprise Bundle. The Enterprise Bundle is comprised of the following features:

• ISL Trunking (TRK): Allows frame-based consolidation of up to 8 inter-switch links (ISLs) into fault-tolerant and load-balanced trunks with bandwidth of up to 256 Gbps.
• Fabric Vision (FV)
  • Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS): Provides a policy-based, fabric-wide threshold monitoring and alerting tool.
  • Flow Vision: Enables administrators to identify, monitor, and analyze specific application flows in order to simplify troubleshooting, maximize performance, avoid congestion, and optimize resources. Flow Vision includes:
    • Flow Monitor: Provides comprehensive visibility, automatic learning, and non-disruptive monitoring of a flow’s performance. Administrators can monitor all flows from a specific host to multiple targets or volumes, from multiple hosts to a specific target/volume, or across a specific ISL. Additionally, they can perform volume-level monitoring of specific frame types to identify resource contention or congestion that is impacting application performance. With VM Insight, administrators can monitor network throughput statistics for each VM.
    • Flow Learning: Enables administrators to non-disruptively discover all flows that go to or come from a specific host port or a storage port, or traverse ISLs/IFLs (Inter-Fabric Links) or Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol (FCIP) tunnels, to monitor fabric-wide application performance. In addition, administrators can discover top and bottom bandwidth-consuming devices and manage capacity planning.
    • Flow Generator: Provides a built-in traffic generator for pretesting and validating the data center infrastructure for robustness—including route verification and integrity of optics, cables, ports, back-end connections, and ISLs—before deploying applications.
    • Flow Mirroring: Provides the ability to non-disruptively create copies of specific application and data flows or frame types that can be captured for in-depth analysis.
  • VM Insight: Seamlessly monitors health and performance of individual Virtual Machines (VMs) to quickly identify abnormal VM behavior and enable administrators to proactively facilitate troubleshooting and fault isolation, helping to ensure performance and operational stability.
  • Fabric Performance Impact (FPI) Monitoring: Leverages predefined MAPS policies to automatically identify and isolate devices that cause network performance issues by detecting different latency severity levels, and to alert administrators.
• Extended Fabric (EF): Extends Fibre Channel SANs beyond 10 km distance limitations for replication and backup at full bandwidth.

Lenovo offers optional Brocade SANnav™ Management Portal and SANnav Global View software license subscriptions that provide comprehensive visibility into the SAN environment, allow administrators to quickly identify, isolate, and correct problems, and accelerate administrative tasks by simplifying and automating workflows.

SANnav Management Portal is a next-generation SAN management application with a simple browser-based user interface (UI) and with a focus on streamlining common workflows, such as configuration, zoning, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and analytics.

SANnav Management Portal supports all Brocade SAN switches and platforms that run the Fabric OS® version 7.4 or above, including Lenovo B300, B6505, B6510, DB610S, DB620S, DB400D, DB720S, DB730S, DB800D, Brocade Directors, and FC5022.

With SANnav Global View, administrators can quickly visualize the health, performance, and inventory of multiple SANnav Management Portal instances using a simple, intelligent dashboard and can easily navigate from a global view down to local environments to investigate points of interest. SANnav Global View is designed to manage up to 20 SANnav Management Portal instances.

For more information, refer to the SANnav Management Portal documentation:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/fibre-channel-networking/software/sannav-management-portal#documentation

The following table lists ordering information for the optional SANnav Management Portal and SANnav Global View management tools. After a client has an active SANnav license, Lenovo offers a “license extension/renewal”. This offering provides our clients the flexible to extend their subscription down to a specific end date. This allows clients the ability to align to your company’s budget or align with warranty of your FC SAN switches/directors. Please engage directly with your Lenovo sales representative for more details.
