Physical Planning Considerations 5 • OpenTrunking - Purchase and enablement of this feature provides dynamic load balancing of Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs. NOTE: SAN routers do not support OpenTrunking. • Full volatility - Purchase and enablement of this feature ensures that no Fibre Channel frames are stored after a director or Fabric switch is powered off or fails, and a memory dump file (that possibly includes classified frames) is not included as part of the data collection procedure. NOTE: The Intrepid 10000 Director and SAN routers do not support full volatility. • Full fabric - This feature is provided only for the Sphereon 4300 Fabric Switch. Purchase and enablement of the feature provides E_Port functionality and additional port BB_Credits. • Remote fabric - This feature is provided only for the Intrepid 10000 Director. Purchase and enablement of the feature provides an increased BB_Credit buffer pool and additional port credits. • CNT WAN support - This feature is included only in software maintenance release 4.02.00 and is required to allow a Sphereonseries fabric switch to communicate with Computer Network Technologies (CNT) UltraNet Edge storage routers. NOTE: Directors and SAN routers do not provide CNT wide area network (WAN) support. • Element Manager application - This feature enables director or switch management through the Element Manager user interface. Directors and switches are delivered with the application enabled for a 31-day grace period. Before grace period expiration, the application must be reactivated through a PFE key. NOTE: The Sphereon 4300 Fabric Switch does not support an Element Manager application. An Element Manager application is included with a SAN router. A PFE key is not required to enable the application. 5-34 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
