Access Gateway device-based mapping in ESX environments Users who want to utilize Access Gateway's Device-based mapping feature in the ESX environments should refer to the Brocade Tech Note Using Brocade Access Gateway Device-Based Mapping in VMware ESX Server Environments for best implementation practices. This document can be downloaded from the following HP website: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Under storage, select Storage networking, and then select the appropriate switch under B-series Switches. Brocade HBA/Adapter Compatibility Brocade HBA/Adapter should be using driver version 2.3.0.2 or later when attached to 16 Gbps ports on Brocade switches. D_Port • Fabric OS 7.0.0a supports the execution of D_Port tests concurrently on up to eight ports on the switch. • D_Port tests may be executed only on ports configured for portcfglongdistance port# L0 or normal port distance mode. Executing D_Port tests on long distance ports may cause tests to fail due to time out exceeded. NOTE: The following message appears in CLI when Enabling D_Port with HP B-series SFPs Caution: D_Port functionality is only available on 16G-capable platforms with Brocade branded 16G SFPs and 10G FC SFPs. Electrical and Optical loopback tests are supported only for Brocade branded 16G SFPs. Although this message appears, D_Port functions as expected with the HP B-series SFPs installed. This error message will be removed in a subsequent Fabric OS release. • There is no D_Port capability for 10 Gbps links nor for the 16 Gbps fabric at the far end of the 10 Gbps link.
