NOTE: This is not true for the HP StorageWorks SAN Director 16 Port 8Gb FC Blade. Since FC8 type blades support EX_Ports, they are still retained in the configuration, but they are persistently disabled. HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 48 Port 4Gb Blade and HP StorageWorks SAN Director 48 Port 8Gb FC Blade enabling exceptions The HP StorageWorkds 4/256 SAN Director 48 Port 4Gb Blade is compatible only in the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director with the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 16 Port 4Gb Blade, HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 32 Port 4Gb Blade, B-Series Multi-Protocol Router Blade, and HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director Blade. Because the area IDs are shared with different port IDs, the HP StorageWorkds 4/256 SAN Director 48 Port 4Gb Blade and HP StorageWorks SAN Director 48 Port 8Gb FC Blade support only F_Ports and E_Ports. They do not support FL_Ports. Port swapping on an HP StorageWorkds 4/256 SAN Director 48 Port 4Gb Blade or HP StorageWorks SAN Director 48 Port 8Gb FC Blade is supported only on ports 0-15. For the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 16 Port 4Gb Blade and HP StorageWorks SAN Director 32 Port 8Gb FC Blades, port swapping is supported on all 32 ports. This means that if you replace a 32-port blade where a port has been swapped on ports 16-31 with a 48-port blade, the 48-port blade faults. To correct this, reinsert the 32-port blade and enter portSwap to restore the original area IDs to ports 16-31. Blade terminology and compatibility Before configuring a chassis, familiarize yourself with the platform CP blade and port blade nomenclature, as well as the port blade compatibilities. Often in procedures, only the abbreviated names for CP and port blades are used (for example, the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 16 Port 4Gb Blade). Table 70 lists CP and port blades, their abbreviated names, and their descriptions. Table 70 HP StorageWorks enterprise-class platform terminology and abbreviations Blade name Abbrev.
