8Gb SAN Switch redundancy
The HP BladeSystem c-Class was engineered as a no-single-point-of-failure bladed solution. Attributes
that contribute to switch redundancy include:
• Redundant power and cooling
• Redundant HP Onboard Administrator (OA) to ensure management access to the switch
NOTE:
The HP Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management module used to support and manage
the HP BladeSystem c-Class and all managed devices used in the enclosure.
8Gb SAN Switch licensing
The 8Gb SAN Switch integrates one of three license options that complement existing HP product
lines. Some 8Gb SAN Switch models ship with licenses that place limits on the number of domains
that can be used. Models and their specific licenses are as follows:
• Brocade 8/12 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class, base, integrating 12 active ports (in any
combination of internal/external ports) and two short-wavelength SFPs. Software components include
a Full Fabric license, the Advanced Web Tools GUI and Zoning software
