What to Expect In large Storage Area Networks (SANs) disks will be added and removed during operation. Efficient discovery is essential to maintain performance during the hot insertion See hot swap. or removal of disks. This webinar describes the topology discovery application for a SAN using a Serial Attached SCSI See SAS. (SAS) expander network. It analyzes the discovery performance benefit of self-configuring expanders as compared with non-self configuring ones. This webinar will: --Introduce storage devices, their evolution and the SAS standard --Describe the SAS Architecture and topology --Explain the process of topology discovery --Examine the two principle methods of discovery: external management client and self-configuring expander --Analyze discovery performance of these two methods --Provide specific example systems with selected components About the Presenters Gautam Mehandru is a SAS Applications Engineer in the Enterprise and Storage Division. He is responsible for supporting the maxSAS product family. Among other products, he was involved in the development of PMC-Sierra's market leading SAS Expander technology prior to joining the Applications Group. Truong Nguyen is a Firmware A category of memory chips that hold their content without electrical power. Firmware includes flash, ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM technologies. When holding program instructions, firmware can be thought of as "hard software." See flash memory, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM and FOTA. Design Engineer in the Enterprise and Storage Division. He has designed and implemented a large portion of firmware in PMC-Sierra's SXP SXP Solar X-Ray Photometer SXP Nunam Iqua, Alaska (Airport Code; formerly Sheldon Point) SXP Simple Xml Persistence 24 and 36 SAS expanders. In addition, he also designed and implemented the proprietary Topology Discovery algorithm implemented in the PMC-Sierra SXP 24 and 36 SAS expanders.
