HP SN3000B HP B-series Fabric OS 7.0.1a Release Notes (5697-1863, April 2012-i - Page 6

• Adaptive Networking with QoS provides a rich framework of capability allowing a user to ensure high priority connections to obtain the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance, even in congested environments. The QoS SID/DID Prioritization and Ingress Rate Limiting features are included in this license, and are fully available on all 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps platforms. • Server Application Optimization, which, when deployed with Brocade 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 entire data center infrastructure. This license is not supported on the HP 2408 24-10 GbE w/8-8 Gbps FCoE Switch. • Integrated Routing, which allows any port in an HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch, HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch, HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch, HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch, HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch, HP 8/80 Base 48-ports Enabled SAN Switch, HP 8/40 24-ports Enabled SAN Switch, HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch, and the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch to be configured as an EX_Port or VEX_Port (on some platforms) supporting FC Routing. This eliminates the need to add a dedicated router to a fabric for FCR purposes. • Encryption Performance Upgrade provides additional encryption processing power for the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch or an HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch, HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch, HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch, or HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch. The Encryption Performance License can be installed to enable full encryption processing power. • Advanced Extension. This license enables two advanced extension features: FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting. The FCIP Trunking feature allows multiple IP source and destination address pairs (defined as FCIP Circuits) via multiple 1 GbE or 10 GbE interfaces to provide a high bandwidth FCIP tunnel and failover resiliency. Each FCIP circuit also supports four QoS classes (Class-F, High, Medium and Low Priority), each as a TCP connection. The Adaptive Rate Limiting feature provides a minimum bandwidth guarantee for each tunnel with full utilization of the available network bandwidth without impacting throughput performance under high traffic load. This license is available on the HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch and the HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch, HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch, HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch, and HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch for the HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade on an individual slot basis. • 10 GbE FCIP/10 Gbps FC. This license enables the two 10 GbE ports on the HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade or the 10 Gbps FC capability on HP SN8000B 16Gb 32-port FC Blade or the HP SN8000B 16Gb 48-port FC Blade ports. On the HP SN6000C 16Gb FC Switch, this license enables 10G FC ports. This license is available on the HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch, HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch, HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch, HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch on an individual slot basis. ◦ HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade: With this license assigned to a slot with an HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade, two additional operating modes (in addition to 10 1 GbE ports mode) can be selected;10 1 GbE ports and 1 10 GbE port, or 2 10 GbE ports ◦ HP SN8000B 16Gb 32-port FC Blade or the HP SN8000B 16Gb 48-port FC Blade: Enables 10 Gbps FC capability on an HP SN8000B 16Gb 32-port FC Blade or the HP SN8000B 16Gb 48-port FC Blade in a slot that has this license. ◦ HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch: Enables 10Gbps FC capability on the switch. 6
