Emulex LP9002S

2GB/s Fibre Channel SBus Host Bus Adapter

Optimized for Sun Microsystems SBus servers,the LightPulseTM LP9002S Fibre Channel SBus host adapter provides support for 2Gb/s Fibre Channel data rates,delivering the industry’s highest performance. The LP9002S features automatic speed negotiation capability which allows complete compatibility with existing 1Gb/s Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs),while allowing seamless upgrades to higher speed 2Gb/s SANs.

The LP9002S provides the flexibility and interoperability needed for complex, highly scalable SANs. The LP9002S provides a unique combination of features,including switched fabric support using F_Port and FL_Port connections, full-duplex data transfers, high data integrity features, support for all Fibre Channel topologies, and support for service class 2 and 3.

LP9002S also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior performance in SANs, delivering low latency and high throughput in switched, arbitrated loop and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling is provided through a small form factor (LC) optical embedded interface.

Features

  • Simultaneous full duplex 2Gb/s Fibre Channel delivers up to 400 MB/s
  • Full fabric support using F_Port and FL_Port connections
  • Onboard hardware context cache for superior fabric performance
  • Support for concurrent use of multiple protocols (SCSI and IP)
  • Full support for FC service class 2 and 3
  • Support for FC-Tape (FCP-2) devices
  • 64-bit, SBus
  • End-to-end parity protection for high data integrity
  • Buffered data architecture to support up to 50km cabling at full 2Gb/s bandwidth
  • Automatic speed negotiation
  • Automatic topology detection
  • Optical small form factor (LC) interface support

Driver Support

The LightPulseTM LP9002S is complemented by robust software support including multi-protocol (SCSI & IP) operation, enabling advanced storage area network (SAN) implementations in Solaris environments.The LP9002S Solaris driver shares a common source base with drivers for the Emulex LP9002L, LP9000, LP8000, LP8000S and LP7000E PCI host bus adapters, allowing a common look and feel across separate hardware platforms.
