The FS8-18 blade 1 The FS8-18 blade The FS8-18 blade provides the same features and functionality as the encryption switch. The FS8-18 blade installs on the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S. Four FS8-18 blades may be installed in a single DCX or DCX-4S. Performance licensing Encryption processing power is scalable, and may be increased by purchasing and installing an encryption performance license. The base unit Brocade Encryption Switch and FS8-18 Encryption Blade have a standard capacity of 48 Gbps of encryption processing power. Additional encryption processing power can be added for disk I/O by purchasing and installing a Disk Advanced Encryption Performance license. When the performance upgrade license is applied, encryption processing power of up to 96 Gbps is available. Note that when the license is applied to a DCX or DCX-4S chassis, it applies to all FS8-18 blades installed on that chassis. Adding a license The encryption performance licenses are added just like any other Fabric OS feature license. After the license is added, the encryption switch, DCX, or DCX-4S with encryption blades installed must be rebooted for the license to take effect. See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information about obtaining and adding licenses. Licensing best practices Licenses installed on the switches and blades must have identical performance numbers when used together in high availability (HA) clusters or data encryption key (DEK) clusters.
