Fabric Notifications - An Update from Awareness to Action

Wed Sep 14 | 1:30pm
Location:
Fremont A/B
Abstract

Introduced in 2021, Fabric Notifications developed into a key resiliency solution for storage networks. Providing the ability to respond to events impacting the Fabric, Fabric Notifications enhances the overall user experience when deploying traditional Fibre Channel SANs. In this session, the improvements in the user experience are profiled for solutions using Linux, AIX, and PowerPath. The latest developments in both standards and market solutions are also provided as an update to this exciting new technology.

Learning Objectives

  • Provide an update of Fabric Notifications as defined by the Fibre Channel standards.
  • Describe the mechanisms and techniques for implementing Fabric Notifications.
  • Profile specific deployments of Fabric Notifications solutions.
