Temporary license support

Page 16 highlights

• HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch Port Upgrade allows an HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch to enable 16 FC ports (instead of the base four ports) and six GbE ports (instead of the base two ports). This license is also required to enable additional FCIP tunnels and also for advanced capabilities like tape read/write pipelining. • HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director ICL 16-link, or Inter Chassis Links provides dedicated highbandwidth links between two HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch chassis, without consuming valuable front-end 8 Gbps ports. Each chassis must have the 16-link ICL license installed to enable the full 16-link ICL connections. Available on the HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch only. • HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director ICL 8-Link. This license activates all eight links on ICL ports on an HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch chassis or half of the ICL bandwidth for each ICL port on the HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch platform by enabling only eight links out of the sixteen links available. This allows users to purchase half the bandwidth of HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch ICL ports initially and upgrade with an additional 8-link license to utilize the full ICL bandwidth at a later time. This license is also useful for environments that wish to create ICL connections between an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch and an HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch, the latter of which cannot support more than eight links on an ICL port. Available on the HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch and HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch platforms only. • HP SN8000B ICL POD License. This license activates ICL ports on core blades of an HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch or an HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch. An ICL 1st POD license enables only half of the ICL ports on 16 Gbps 8-Slot Core blade (CR16-8) of an HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch or all of the ICL ports on 16 Gbps 4-Slot Core blade (CR16-4) on an HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch. An ICL 2nd POD license enables remaining ICL ports on a 16 Gbps 8-Slot Core blade (CR16-8) on an HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch platform. (The ICL 2nd POD license does not apply to the HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch.) Temporary license support HP now supports Universal Temporary Licenses. To obtain the Universal Temporary Licenses, select the StorageWorks Software Demo & Evaluation Downloads option at the HP website: www.software.hp.com. The following list of licenses are available as Universal Temporary licenses. This means the same license key can be installed on any switch running Fabric OS 6.3 or later that supports the specific feature. Universal Temporary license keys can be installed only once on a particular switch, but can be applied to as many switches as desired. Temporary use duration (the length of time the feature is enabled on a switch) is provided with the license key. All Universal Temporary license keys have an expiration date beyond which the license can no longer be installed on any unit. • Fabric (E_Port) license • Extended Fabric license • Trunking license • High Performance Extension license • Advanced Performance Monitoring license • Adaptive Networking license • Fabric Watch license • Integrated Routing license • Server Application Optimization • Advanced Extension license • Advanced FICON Acceleration license 16

ector Switch and HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch platforms only.

SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch or all of the ICL ports on 16 Gbps 4-Slot Core
blade (CR16-4) on an HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch. An ICL 2nd POD license enables
