Configuring Directors
type of CP blade installed and that each CP (primary and secondary partition) maintains the same
firmware version.
Core blades
The DC Director supports two CR8 core blades. This blade is used for intra-chassis switching as well as ICL
connectivity to another DC Director chassis.
The 4/256 Director does not support core blades.
Port blade compatibility
Table 65
identifies which port blades are supported for each Director.
Setting chassis configuration options for the 4/256 Director
The
chassisConfig
command allows you to display or set the chassis configuration on the 4/256
Director.
The 4/256 Director allows you to use chassis configuration options 1 and 5. Configuration option 1 is
compatible with FC4-16 blades; configuration option 5 is compatible with FC8-16, FC4-16IP, FC4-16,
FC4-32, FR4-18i, and FC4-48 blades.
The DC Director does not have separate configuration options, so the
chassisConfig
command is not
supported on this platform. By default the DC Director supports 384 ports in a single Fibre Channel
domain.
Table 66
lists the supported configuration options for the 4/256 Director.
