requirements
RequirementsFeature
The 1606 Extension SAN Switch and DC Dir Switch MP Extension Blade are
supported with the B-series switches listed in “B-series FICON directors and
fabric rules” (page 29).
Fibre Channel switches for FCIP
These products are also supported for use as FICON or Fibre Channel
switches. This provides both FICON and Fibre Channel switch connectivity
for hosts and storage systems as well as FCIP connectivity for SAN extension.
TCP/IP IPv4, Ethernet 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1,000 Mb/sIP network protocols
All 1606 Extension SAN Switch and DC Dir Switch MP Extension Blade FCIP
implementations must have dedicated IP bandwidth configured as a committed
bandwidth or use the ARL feature.
HP does not support the 1606 Extension SAN Switch and DC Dir Switch MP
Extension Blade configurations with FCIP tunnels configured with nondedicated
bandwidth. For more information about configuring and monitoring FCIP
extension services, see HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.x Administrator Guide.
NOTES:
• P9000/XP Continuous Access storage systems require a minimum of 16
Mb/s IP bandwidth.
• FCIP is supported with IPsec data encryption, which requires a
nl
license and firmware 6.3.0 or later.
• FCIP is supported with FCIP FastWrite acceleration.
• The connection to the 1606 Extension SAN Switch or DC Dir Switch MP
Extension Blade FCIP port must be GbE compatible (10-GbE for the
10-GbE ports).
