HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.1.2_cee1 release notes (5697-0045, June 2009)

Included licensed software
The Enhanced Group Management license is included with all HP 8 Gb 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.
DCFM 10.3.0 is the minimum required version for full DCFM management of the HP StorageWorks
2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch. Prior to that version, any supported version of DCFM provides
support for discovery of the FCoE switch; launch of Webtools is required for switch management.
Previously licensed software now part of base Fabric OS
The following capabilities are included as part of the base Fabric OS and no additional purchase or
licensing is necessary.
NOTE:
Advanced Zoning and Web Tools licenses are no longer necessary, beginning with Fabric OS 6.1.
These features are automatically enabled on all products running Fabric OS 6.1 or later
