Serviceability The 8Gb 48 port blade is supported as follows: • The switch, or logical switch, must be configured for Brocade Native mode (interopmode 0). • Only on VF-enabled chassis on the DC SAN Director. • Not supported in the default switch on the DC SAN Director. Traffic Isolation Enable Lossless DLS when activating Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones to avoid any traffic disruption. Zones Traffic Isolation Traffic Isolation (TI) Zoning with FICON supports enabling or disabling of the failover option.

(Loop devices may not be in the default logical switch.) • A maximum of 144 ports can be used for connectivity to loop devices in a single logical switch in a DC04 SAN Director in 10-bit dynamic area mode.

Port Mirroring • On the 8/80 SAN Switch, the Port Mirroring feature has a limitation where all port mirror resources must remain in the same ASIC port group. The resources are the configure mirror port, Source Device, and Destination Device or ISL, if the Destination Device is located on another switch. The ASIC port groups are 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, 48-63, and 64-79. The routes are broken if the port mirror resources are spread over multiple port groups. • Port Mirroring is not supported on the 1606 Extension SAN Switch. • See the portMirror command in the Command Reference Guide for more information on mirror port configuration and requirements. 10G interoperability 10G interoperability between the HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb FC Blade and McDATA blades is not supported due to a hardware limitation.

FL_Port (loop) support
•
The 8Gb 48-port and 64-port Fibre Channel blades now support the attachment of loop devices
in the DC SAN Backbone Director and DC04 SAN Director.
•
VF must be enabled on the chassis, and loop devices can be attached only to ports on a 48-port
or 64-port blade assigned to a nondefault logical switch operating with the default 10-bit addressing
mode. (Loop devices may not be in the default logical switch.)
•
A maximum of 144 ports can be used for connectivity to loop devices in a single logical switch
in a DC04 SAN Director in 10-bit dynamic area mode. A maximum of 112 ports can be used for
connectivity to loop devices in a single logical switch in a DC SAN Backbone Director in 10-bit
dynamic area mode.
•
Loop devices are supported when attached to ports on the 8Gb and 4Gb 16- and 32-port Fibre
Channel blades, with no new restrictions.
Port Mirroring
•
On the 8/80 SAN Switch, the Port Mirroring feature has a limitation where all port mirror resources
must remain in the same ASIC port group. The resources are the configure mirror port, Source
Device, and Destination Device or ISL, if the Destination Device is located on another switch. The
ASIC port groups are 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, 48-63, and 64-79. The routes are broken if the port
mirror resources are spread over multiple port groups.
•
Port Mirroring is not supported on the 1606 Extension SAN Switch.
•
See the
portMirror
command in the Command Reference Guide for more information on mirror
port configuration and requirements.

10G interoperability between the HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb FC Blade and McDATA
blades is not supported due to a hardware limitation. However, the SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb FC
