Supported Configurations
Operation of multiple switches in a fabric topology is subject to the following
topology limits. Consider the impact of these limits when planning the fabric.
Note: For more information about planning the fabric, refer to HP StorageWorks
SAN High Availability Planning Guide
.
■ Fabric Elements – Each fabric element is defined by a unique domain ID that
ranges between 1 and 31; therefore, the theoretical limit of interconnected
switches in a single fabric is 31. The supported limit of interconnected
switches in a single fabric is 24. Because this number is subject to change,
contact your HP authorized service representative for the current number of
interconnected switches supported in a single fabric.
■ Inhomogeneous fabric – To determine if interoperability is supported for a
product, or if restrictions apply, refer to the product publications, or contact
your HP authorized service representative.
■ Number of Interswitch Links (ISLs) – The maximum supported number of
ISLs for edge switches is all available switch ports. For redundancy, at least
two ISLs should connect any two switch-class fabric elements. Because this
number is subject to change, contact your HP authorized service
representative for the current number of ISLs supported per switch.
