NOTE: Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an E_Port connection and the local and remote fabrics may merge. This mixed fabric is not supported. If the port type is changed to TR_Port after connecting the remote fabric, a port reset may be required to completely establish the connection. A TR_Port is used as a bridge between the transparent router's local fabric and a remote fabric. A TR_Port uses standard NPIV login methods to attach to the remote fabric. For remote HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series fabrics, the switch to which the TR_Port connects must support NPIV; and for B-series fabrics, the interoperability mode must be configured to InteropMode=0. The TR_Port logs into the remote fabric using the TR_Port WWN. The TR_Port accesses fabric services of the remote fabric, such as Name Server and Management Server, and may receive registered state change notifications (RSCNs). The TR_Port uses FDISCs to login proxies for devices attached to an N_Port on the 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch. Any of the 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch ports may be configured as a TR_Port. IMPORTANT: Because C-series switches do not support the unzoned name server, C-series fabrics must be pre-zoned before you can map TR_Ports to a remote C-series fabric using the TR Mapping Manager dialog box. Modify the C-series fabric zone set so that the WWNs of the remote devices to be mapped and the WWNs of the 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch TR_Ports are zoned together. It is good practice to retain these zones in the zone set after mapping the TR_Ports until you no longer need to map the device to the local fabric. For more information about zoning C-series fabrics, see the C-series switch documentation. TR Mapping Manager dialog The TR Mapping Manager dialog (Figure 7) displays the currently mapped inter-fabric routes. You can create new inter-fabric routes, view detail information on existing inter-fabric routes, and remove existing inter-fabric routes. To open the TR Mapping Manager dialog, select Fabric > TR Mapping Manager. NOTE: The Merge Auto Save option in the Config Zoning dialog must be selected before you can open the TR Mapping Manager dialog. See "Merge Auto Save" (page 41) for more information. To create a new TR mapping, click Add or select Edit > Add to open the Add TR Mapping dialog. See "Add TR Mapping dialog" (page 23) for more information.

NOTE:
Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the HP StorageWorks
8/20q Fibre Channel Switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on the HP StorageWorks 8/20q
Fibre Channel Switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an E_Port connection and the
local and remote fabrics may merge. This mixed fabric is not supported. If the port type is changed to
TR_Port after connecting the remote fabric, a port reset may be required to completely establish the
connection.
A TR_Port is used as a bridge between the transparent router’s local fabric and a remote fabric. A TR_Port
uses standard NPIV login methods to attach to the remote fabric. For remote HP StorageWorks B-series or
C-series fabrics, the switch to which the TR_Port connects must support NPIV; and for B-series fabrics, the
interoperability mode must be configured to InteropMode=0. The TR_Port logs into the remote fabric using
the TR_Port WWN. The TR_Port accesses fabric services of the remote fabric, such as Name Server and

FDISCs to login proxies for devices attached to an N_Port on the 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch. Any of the
8/20q Fibre Channel Switch ports may be configured as a TR_Port.
IMPORTANT:
Because C-series switches do not support the unzoned name server, C-series fabrics must be
pre-zoned
before you can map TR_Ports to a remote C-series fabric using the TR Mapping Manager dialog
box. Modify the C-series fabric zone set so that the WWNs of the remote devices to be mapped and the
WWNs of the 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch TR_Ports are zoned together. It is good practice to retain these
zones in the zone set after mapping the TR_Ports until you no longer need to map the device to the local
fabric. For more information about zoning C-series fabrics, see the C-series switch documentation.
