Description
Product overview of Emulex LP11002 Lightpulse HBA
The Emulex LP11002 Lightpulse HBA is designed for enterprise-class servers and storage systems. It is a high-performance, reliable, and scalable solution that provides connectivity for SANs (Storage Area Networks). It supports both single and dual-channel configurations, making it suitable for a wide range of storage environments.
Technical Specifications of Emulex LP11002 Lightpulse HBA
The Emulex LP11002 HBA has the following technical specifications:
- Fibre Channel Interface: The HBA supports Fibre Channel (FC) protocol, which is a high-speed data transfer protocol used for storage networking. The HBA supports both FC-AL (Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop) and FC-PLDA (Fibre Channel Private Loop Direct Attach) topologies.
- PCI-X Interface: The HBA uses the PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect eXtended) interface, which provides a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 266 MHz. It is a 64-bit interface, which means it can transfer data in larger chunks than the 32-bit interface.
- Data Transfer Rate: The HBA provides a data transfer rate of up to 4 Gbps (Gigabits per second), which is four times faster than the previous generation 1 Gbps Fibre Channel technology.
- Port Configuration: The HBA supports both single and dual-channel configurations. In a single-channel configuration, the HBA has one FC port, while in a dual-channel configuration, it has two FC ports.
- Compatibility: The HBA is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. It also supports virtualization technologies such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V.
- Management: The HBA can be managed using Emulex OneCommand Manager, which provides a single interface for managing multiple Emulex HBAs. It also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remote management.
Key Features of Emulex LP11002 Lightpulse HBA
The Emulex LP11002 HBA has several key features that make it a reliable and high-performance solution for SAN environments. Let’s take a closer look at these features:
- High-Speed Connectivity: The HBA provides a data transfer rate of up to 4 Gbps, which enables high-speed data transfer between servers and storage systems. This results in faster application performance and improved productivity.
- Scalability: The HBA supports both single and dual-channel configurations, which provides flexibility and scalability to SAN environments. It can be easily upgraded to meet changing storage requirements.
- Reliability: The HBA has a built-in error checking and correction mechanism, which ensures data integrity and reliability. It also supports load balancing and failover mechanisms, which provide high availability to SAN environments.
- Compatibility: The HBA is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, which makes it suitable for heterogeneous storage environments. It also supports virtualization technologies, which provide greater flexibility and resource utilization.
- Management: The HBA can be easily managed using Emulex OneCommand Manager, which provides a single interface for managing multiple Emulex HBAs. This simplifies management and reduces administrative overhead.
