on Fabric OS 6.4.3 that includes the same hardware support, features, and fixes, plus additional fixes important to HP. Fabric OS 6.4.0 introduced support for the following new hardware. This support is carried forward with 6.4.3e: • HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director 64-Port 8Gb Fibre Channel Blade - HP StorageWorks EVA4400 | HP B-series Fabric OS 6.4.3e Release Notes (5697-2821, - Page 4
