IBM Supervisor-1 module

The IBM Supervisor-1 module is designed specifically for the SAN192C-6 and SAN384C-6 chassis. This supervisor module provides control and management functions for the switch and enables high-performance switching.

This supervisor module supports the following features.

Nondisruptive software upgrades
Stateful process restart and failover
Fully redundant operation
Support for up to 384 Fibre Channel ports in a single chassis and 1152 Fibre Channel ports in a single rack
Support for up to 24 Tbps of Fibre Channel system bandwidth
Multipathing based on Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)
Ability to dynamically reroute traffic in the event of a switch failure
Network management through the command-line interface (CLI) and through Data Center Network Manager (DCNM)
Extensive security features including RADIUS and TACACS+, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) implementing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), VSANs, hardware-enforced zoning, ACLs, and per-VSAN role-based access control
Support for virtual SAN (VSAN) technology and inter-VSAN routing (IVR)
Network services such as access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS)
Smart zoning
Power-on self-test (POST) and diagnostics
Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN)

Table 1. IBM Supervisor-1 Module LEDs
LED	Status	Description
ID	Flashing blue	A user has activated this LED to allow a person to find this module in the chassis.
ID	Off	Location identification is deactivated for this module.
Status	Green	All module diagnostics passed. The module is operational.
	Red	Indicates one of the following conditions: The module has detected an error and cannot power on or boot up. The module is not properly inserted. A bootup or runtime diagnostic test has failed.
	Flashing Red	Indicates one of the following conditions: The temperature of the module has exceeded the safe operating temperature limits (a major temperature alarm has occurred). The module has been shut down to prevent permanent damage. The system will be shut down after two minutes if this condition is not cleared. The module is resetting. The ejector lever is open.
	Off	The module is not receiving power.
System	Green	All environmental sensors in the system are within operational bounds.
	Amber	At least one power supply has failed or the power supply fan has failed.
	Red	The temperature of the supervisor module exceeded the major threshold.
Active	Green	The supervisor is operational and in HA active state.
Active	Amber	The supervisor module is in HA standby state.
Power Management	Green	There is sufficient power available for all installed modules.
Power Management	Amber	There is insufficient power for all installed modules.
MGMT Ethernet	Green	The mgmt0 interface is administratively active and the supervisor is in HA active state.
	Amber	The mgmt0 interface is administratively active and the supervisor is in the HA standby state.
	Off	The mgmt0 interface is uninitialized. No signal is detected.
ACT	Green	Frames are being transmitted or received by the interface.
ACT	Off	There is no activity on the interface.
Link	Green	The management port link is operational.
	Amber	The management port link has been disabled by software.
	Flashing amber	The management port has been disabled by a hardware fault.
	Off	No link signal received.
USB1	Green	The flash device is mounted.
	Red	The device is a valid device type, but failed to be mounted. This can be due to an invalid file system format.
	Off	The flash device is not mounted and can be safely removed.
Slot0	Green	The flash device is mounted.
	Red	The device is a valid device type, but failed to be mounted. This can be due to an invalid file system format.
	Off	The flash device is not mounted and can be safely removed.
