The QLE2562-HP-SP is a host bus adapter (HBA) designed for use in a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN). Specifically, this HBA is manufactured by QLogic and is sold under the HP Storageworks brand. In this article, we will take a closer look at the QLE2562-HP-SP, its features, and its specifications.
Host Bus AdapterA host bus adapter is a device that connects a computer to a storage network. It acts as an interface between the computer's bus and the Fibre Channel SAN. The host bus adapter allows the computer to send and receive data to and from the SAN. The QLE2562-HP-SP is a dual port HBA, which means it has two connections to the SAN.
Fibre ChannelFibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology used for storage area networks. It is designed to connect servers and storage devices in a network to provide fast, reliable data transfer. Fibre Channel can operate over long distances, making it suitable for use in large data centers.
8GB Fibre ChannelThe QLE2562-HP-SP is an 8GB Fibre Channel HBA. This means it can transfer data at a rate of 8 gigabits per second (Gbps). This high speed makes it suitable for use in high-performance applications such as video editing, data analytics, and virtualization.
Dual PortThe QLE2562-HP-SP has two ports, which means it can connect to two separate SAN fabrics. This provides redundancy and high availability, as if one port fails, the other can continue to provide access to the SAN. The dual port configuration also allows for load balancing, which can improve performance by spreading the workload across both ports.
PCI-E InterfaceThe QLE2562-HP-SP uses the PCI-E interface to connect to the computer's bus. PCI-E is a high-speed serial interface used to connect peripheral devices to a computer's motherboard. The PCI-E interface provides faster data transfer rates and more bandwidth than older bus technologies such as PCI or AGP.
Standard BracketThe QLE2562-HP-SP comes with a standard bracket, which is used to secure the HBA to the computer's chassis. The standard bracket is designed to fit in a standard PCI-E slot in the computer's motherboard. Some manufacturers may provide optional low-profile brackets for use in slimline computers.
Compatibility
The QLE2562-HP-SP is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and VMware ESX. It is also compatible with a variety of Fibre Channel switches and storage arrays.
Management
The QLE2562-HP-SP can be managed using QLogic's SANsurfer management software. SANsurfer provides a graphical user interface for configuring and monitoring the HBA. It can also be used to perform diagnostic tests and firmware upgrades.
Overall, the QLE2562-HP-SP is a high-performance dual port Fibre Channel HBA designed for use in storage area networks. It features an 8GB transfer rate, a PCI-E interface, and a standard bracket for easy installation. With its dual port configuration, it provides redundancy and high availability, and its compatibility with a wide range of operating systems and storage devices makes it a versatile choice for any data center.
