Please check http://www.hp.com for the latest updates. Access Gateway was initially introduced with Fabric OS 5.2.1b. It allows a switch to operate in a special agmode that allows simplified connectivity between large numbers of servers and the SAN. Access Gateway leverages N_port ID virtualization (NPIV) to hide the complexity of the servers (both physical and virtual) attached to it while allowing easy SAN connectivity. The edge fabric switch provides all the fabric services while Access Gateway connects to the edge switch by what appears as a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) connection. This architecture allows the deployment of many additional servers without HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.3.0b release notes 5
