B-series MP Router features and requirements Table 152 lists the features and requirements for the MP Router. Table 152 B-series MP Router features and requirements Feature Switches for iSCSI and FCIP IP network protocols Requirements The MP Router is supported with the B-series switches listed in "B-series switches and fabric rules" on page 93. The MP Router is not supported for use as a Fibre Channel switch. Direct device connectivity to MP Router ports (F_Ports) is supported only with iSCSI (see "iSCSI storage" on page 355). TCP/IP IPv4, Ethernet 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1,000 Mb/s Requires dedicated IP bandwidth, see Table 157 and Table 161. Note: You can only use optical GbE compatible connections to the FCIP or iSCSI ports. Storage systems Continuous Access EVA Continuous Access XP20000/24000, XP10000/12000, XP128/1024, XP48/512 See "Heterogeneous server rules" on page 185 for operating system support. Note: B-series MP Router ports used for Continuous Access EVA must have the exchange-based routing feature disabled. Use the following command to disable exchange-based routing across FCIP port processors: portCfgFcip -m 2 FCIP portcfgfcip [-m LOAD_BAL (1-exchange, 2-SID_DID, 3-none] The default is 1. You must set this value to 2 or 3 for Continuous Access EVA. XP Continuous Access supports exchange-based routing, SID-DID, or none. FCIP-supported operating systems For Continuous Access EVA, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array compatibility reference matrix at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/ software/conaccesseva/index.html.
