ICL connectivity to other DC04 and DC SAN Backbone directors • Virtual Fabrics (VF) • Full VF feature support on HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director, HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director, HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch, and HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch. • Single physical chassis that can be - HP StorageWorks 8/80 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.0g release notes (5697-0035 - Page 4
80 SAN Switch, and HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch. Once enabled, VF allows the user to divide a single physical chassis or switch into multiple logical switches by assigning individual ports to a logical switch. Each logical switch is managed as a completely independent layer 2 Fibre Channel switch - HP StorageWorks 8/80 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.0g release notes (5697-0035 - Page 5

40 SAN Switch (Brocade 5100) IMPORTANT: Although the HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch uses the same hardware as the 4/16 SAN Switch, it does not support Access Gateway. The same applies to the HP StorageWorks 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switches. Both use the same hardware, but only the 8/24, which has all ports - HP StorageWorks 8/80 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.0g release notes (5697-0035 - Page 11
problems may arise when configuring settings through these older products. NOTE: Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that has products operating with newer versions of Fabric OS.
