Notes hp StorageWorks C-series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(4a) and FabricWare 2.1(3) This document provides additional information about the MDS 9020 Fabric Switch, the MDS 9100 Series Fabric Switches, the MDS 9200 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches, and the MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors - HP Cisco MDS 9216A | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(4a) - Page 2
for instructions on how to determine the current SAN-OS or FabricWare version on your switch. HP strongly recommends upgrading all fabric switches to the latest supported SAN-OS and FabricWare versions. All switches in the SAN must be running the same version of SAN-OS in 2 MDS Multilayer Director - HP Cisco MDS 9216A | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(4a) - Page 3
FICON is supported with SAN-OS on the MDS 9000 series switches. For supported versions and configurations refer to the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock.

switches can be managed with the command-line interface (CLI) or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The graphical user interfaces (GUI) used to manage all C-series switches is Cisco Fabric Manager and Cisco Device Manager. 6 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release - HP Cisco MDS 9216A | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(4a) - Page 7
will ensure a safe bending radius on all fibre channel cables. This is especially pertinent in high port density (Director) installations. Please consult the relevant Cisco Hardware Installation Guide for further information. 7 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes - HP Cisco MDS 9216A | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(4a) - Page 8

. Encryption engines are integrated on the MDS 9000 18/4-port Multiservice Module (MSM-18/4) and the MDS 9222i Multiservice Fabric Switch, eliminating the need to purchase and manage extra switch ports, cables, and applications. Traffic from any virtual SAN (VSAN) can be encrypted using SME - HP Cisco MDS 9216A | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(4a) - Page 14
MDS 9222i switches and switches that include MSM-18/4 modules must be running SAN-OS Release 3.2(3) software or newer For additional information on how to install SME, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Storage Media Encryption Configuration Guide. 14 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric - HP Cisco MDS 9216A | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(4a) - Page 15
