CP blades
CP blades determine the Director type:
• If CP2 blades are installed, the Director is a SAN Director 2/128.
• If CP4 blades are installed, the Director is a 4/256 SAN Director.
Mixed CP blades are not supported on a single chassis, except during specific upgrade procedures
detailed in the
SAN Director installation guide . HP recommends that each Director have only one type of
CP blade installed and that each CP (primary and secondary partition) maintains the same firmware
version.
Port blade compatibility
Table 47 identifies which blades are supported for each Director.
NOTE: At the time of this document’s release, HP does not support the FC4-16IP blade. Consult
http://www.hp.com
for the latest, updated information.
Setting chassis configuration options
The chassisConfig command allows you to set the chassis configuration for the SAN Director 2/128,
which supports both single domain and dual domain operation.
The 4/256 SAN Director allows you to use chassis configuration options 1 and 5. Configuration option 1
is compatible with FC4-16 blades; configuration option 5 is compatible with FC4-16IP, FC4-32, FR4-18i,
and FC4-48 blades.
