HP StorageWorks 8/80 HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.0g release notes (5697-0035 - Page 6

• Extended Fabrics provides greater than 10 km of switched fabric connectivity at full bandwidth over long distances (depending on platform, the distance can be up to 3000 km). • ISL Trunking provides the ability to aggregate multiple physical links into one logical link for enhanced network performance and fault tolerance. This also includes Access Gateway ISL Trunking on the products that support Access Gateway deployment. • Advanced Performance Monitoring enables performance monitoring of networked storage resources. This license includes the TopTalkers feature. • High-Performance Extension over FCIP/FC (formerly known as FC-IP Services) for the HP StorageWorks B-series Multi-protocol Router blade and 400 MP Router). This license key also includes the FC-Fast Write feature and IPsec capabilities. • The accelerator for FICON license enables unique FICON emulation support for IBM's Global Mirror (formerly XRC) application (including Hitachi Data Systems HXRC and EMC's XRC) as well as tape pipelining for all FICON tape and virtual tape systems to significantly improve XRC and tape backup/recovery performance over virtually unlimited distance for the 400 MP Router and B-series Multi-protocol Router blade. • Fabric Watch monitors mission-critical switch operations, and now includes new Port Fencing capabilities. • The FICON Management Server (also known as CUP or Control Unit Port) enables host-control of switches in mainframe environments. • Inter Chassis Links (ICLs) provide dedicated high-bandwidth links between two HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Directors or DC04 SAN Director switch chassis, without consuming valuable front-end 8G ports. Each DC Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director must have the ICL license installed in order to enable the ICL connections (available on the DC Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director only). • Adaptive Networking allows a user to ensure high priority connections and obtain the network resources necessary for optimum performance, even in congested environments. The QoS SID/DID Prioritization and Ingress Rate Limiting features are the first components of this license, and are available on all 8G platforms. • The Integrated Routing license allows ports in an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director, HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director, HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch, or HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch to be configured as EX_Ports, supporting Fibre Channel Routing. This eliminates the need to add a B-series Multi-protocol Router blade or use the 400 MP Router for FCR purposes, and also provides double the bandwidth for each FCR connection (when connected to another 8G-capable port). • The Server Application Optimization license (introduced with Fabric OS 6.2) when deployed with server adapters, optimizes overall application performance for physical servers and virtual machines by extending virtual channels to the server infrastructure. Application specific traffic flows can be configured, prioritized, and optimized throughout the data center infrastructure. Included licensed software The Enhanced Group Management license is included with all HP 8Gb switches. Enhanced Group Management enables full management of the device in a datacenter fabric with deeper element management functionality and greater management task aggregation throughout the environment. This license is used in conjunction with Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) application software. Temporary license support The following licenses are available for 45-day temporary use, with a maximum of two temporary licenses per feature and per switch (90-day maximum). • Fabric (E_Port) license 6
