Included licensed software • Enhanced Group Management-This license is included with all HP 8-Gb switches. Enhanced Group Management enables full management of the device in a data center fabric, with increased element management functionality and management task aggregation throughout the environment. This license is used in conjunction with the DCFM application software. • 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch FC Ports on Demand-This new license enables all eight FC ports on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch. IMPORTANT: Most 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch units shipped with Fabric OS 6.1.2_cee1 did not include this license and must have it installed before upgrading to Fabric OS 6.3.0. Failure to do so will result in the disabling of FC ports after the upgrade. Contact HP Support to obtain this license key if your 2408 switch does not already have it installed. • FCoE-This license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet functionality on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch. Without the FCoE license, the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch is a pure Layer 2 Ethernet switch and will not support FCoE bridging or FCoE Forwarding (FCF) capabilities. Temporary license support HP does not currently support temporary licenses or Universal Temporary Licenses. Previously licensed software now included with base Fabric OS The capabilities described in this section are included as part of the base Fabric OS. No additional purchase or licensing is necessary. NOTE: Starting with Fabric OS 6.1, Advanced Zoning and WebTools licenses are not necessary. These features are enabled automatically on all products running Fabric OS 6.1 or later.
