HP 1606 HP B-series Fabric OS 6.4.1b Release Notes (5697-0886, March 2011-incl - Page 10

Prioritization and Ingress Rate Limiting features are the first components of this license and are available on all 8Gb platforms. • Integrated Routing license-Allows ports on a DC SAN Backbone Director, DC04 SAN Director, 1606 Extension SAN Switch, HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch, or HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch to be configured as EX_Ports, supporting FCR. This eliminates the need to add a B-series Multiprotocol Router Blade or to use the 400 MP Router for FCR purposes, it also provides double the bandwidth for each FCR connection (when connected to another 8Gb-capable port). • Encryption Performance Upgrade-This license provides additional encryption processing power. The Encryption Performance License enables full encryption processing power on the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch or on all HP StorageWorks DC Switch Encryption blades installed in the DC SAN Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director chassis. • Server Application Optimization license (introduced with Fabric OS 6.2)-When deployed with Brocade HBAs, optimizes overall application performance for physical servers and virtual machines by extending virtual channels to the server infrastructure. Application-specific traffic flows can be configured, prioritized, and optimized throughout the data center infrastructure. This license is not supported on the HP StorageWorks 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch. • 1606 Extension SAN Switch Port Upgrade-This license allows a 1606 Extension SAN Switch to enable 16 FC ports (instead of the base 4 ports) and 6 GbE ports (instead of the base 2 ports). This license is also required to enable additional FCIP tunnels and advanced capabilities, such as tape read/write pipelining. • Advanced Extension-This license enables two advanced extension features: FCIP Trunking and ARL. The FCIP Trunking feature allows multiple IP source and destination address pairs (defined as FCIP circuits) via multiple 1GbE or 10-GbE interfaces to provide a high-bandwidth FCIP tunnel and failover resiliency. Each FCIP circuit also supports four QoS classes (Class-F, Hi, Medium, and Low Priority), each as a TCP connection. The ARL feature provides a minimum bandwidth guarantee for each tunnel, with full utilization of the available network bandwidth without impacting throughput performance under high traffic load. This license is available on the 1606 Extension SAN Switch and DC SAN Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director for the DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade on an individual slot basis. • 10-GbE FCIP-This license enables the two 10-GbE ports on the DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade. With this license, two additional operating modes (in addition to 10 1-GbE ports mode) can be selected: ◦ 10 1-GbE ports and 1 10-GbE port ◦ 2 10-GbE ports This license is available on the DC SAN Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director for the DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade on an individual slot basis. Included licensed software • Enhanced Group Management-This license is included with all HP 8Gb switches. Enhanced Group Management enables full management of the device in a data center fabric, with increased element management functionality and management task aggregation throughout the environment. This license is used in conjunction with the DCFM application software. • 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch FC Ports on Demand-This license enables all eight FC ports on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch. • FCoE-This license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet functionality on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch. Without the FCoE license, the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch is a pure Layer 2 Ethernet switch and does not support FCoE bridging or FCoE Forwarding (FCF) capabilities. 10
