Feature IP network protocols Storage systems FCIP-supported operating systems Documentation Requirements TCP/IP IPv4, Ethernet 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1,000 Mb/s All 400 MP Router and MP Router Blade FCIP implementations must have dedicated IP bandwidth. HP does not support 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade configurations with FCIP tunnels configured with nondedicated bandwidth. For more information, see "Configuring and monitoring FCIP extension services" in the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide. For more information on dedicated IP bandwidth requirements. see Table 157 and Table 161. Notes: • XP Continuous Access storage systems require a minimum of 16 Mb/s IP bandwidth. FCIP is supported with IPsec data encryption (license required) or FCIP FastWrite acceleration. This requires a minimum of firmware 5.2.0a. For firmware version 6.3.x, version 6.3.0c or later is required for FCIP FastWrite. • IPsec and FCIP FastWrite are mutually exclusive and cannot be configured simultaneously. • The connection to the 400 MP Router and MP Router Blade FCIP port must be GbE compatible. Continuous Access EVA Continuous Access XP20000/24000, XP10000/12000, XP128/1024, XP48/512 See "Heterogeneous server rules" on page 185 for operating system support. FCIP FastWrite is supported with XP Continuous Access and is not supported with Continuous Access EVA. Note: Use aptpolicy = 1 (port-based routing) and DLS = 0FF (dynamic load sharing) with B-series switches, 400 MP Routers, or MP Router Blades using Continuous Access EVA. XP Continuous Access supports aptpolicy = 1 and aptpolicy = 3 (exchange-based routing) (see Table 176 on page 349). For Continuous Access EVA, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array compatibility reference matrix at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/ software/conaccesseva/index.html.
