StorageWorks Merging Fabrics Based on M-series and B-series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes, available at http://www.hp.com. 4 When routing to an M-EOS edge fabric using frame redirection, the fabric must have a FOS-based product in order to configure the frame redirection zone information. 5 When directly attached to a host or target that is part of an encryption flow. 6 Products operating with FOS versions earlier than 5.3.1b or 6.1.0e cannot participate in a logical fabric that is using XISLs (in the base fabric). 7 These platforms cannot be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows. 8 SANRouters 1620 and 2640 should not be used with XPath or FOS-based routing (FCR) for connections to the same edge fabric. 9 Using HP StorageWorks Fabric Manager (FM) 5.5 or earlier with FOS 6.1.1 or later can result in problems with Zoning, Performance monitoring, SYSLOG configuration, FICON wizards, IOD Delay, AAA replication, Port enable/disable and other functions. Unless you are using Admin Domains, HP recommends that you upgrade to HP StorageWorks Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) 10.3.x to use with FOS 6.1.1 or later. However, if you are using Admin Domains, HP recommends that you downgrade FOS to 6.1.0h. 10 Fabric Manager is not supported with FOS 6.3.x. 4/256 SAN Director blade support FOS 6.3.0a is fully qualified and supports the Director blades listed in Table 2. Table 2 4/256 SAN Director blade support matrix Director blade FC4-16 FC4-32 FC4-48 FC8-16 FC8-32 FC8-48 FC10-6 Number of blades Supported with any mix, with up to eight blades of each type. No intermix restrictions. The 4/256 SAN Director must run FOS 6.0.0b or later to support the FC8-16 port blade, and FOS 6.1.0a or later to support the FC8-32 and FC8-48 port blades. FC4-16IP (iSCSI blade) Up to four blades of this type FR4-18i (FCIP/FC Router blade) Up to two blades of this type. Up to eight FR4-18i blades can be installed if they are used only for FC FastWrite or FCIP without routing. 16

When routing to an M-EOS edge fabric using frame redirection, the fabric must have a FOS-based
product in order to configure the frame redirection zone information.
5
When directly attached to a host or target that is part of an encryption flow.
6
Products operating with FOS versions earlier than 5.3.1b or 6.1.0e cannot participate in a logical
fabric that is using XISLs (in the base fabric).
7
These platforms cannot be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
8
SANRouters 1620 and 2640 should not be used with XPath or FOS-based routing (FCR) for
connections to the same edge fabric.
9
Using HP StorageWorks Fabric Manager (FM) 5.5 or earlier with FOS 6.1.1 or later can result in
problems with Zoning, Performance monitoring, SYSLOG configuration, FICON wizards, IOD Delay,
AAA replication, Port enable/disable and other functions. Unless you are using Admin Domains, HP
recommends that you upgrade to HP StorageWorks Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) 10.3.
