NOTE The HWEnable11i bundle, which is normally installed by default on the 11i OE media,
provides the patches that are required for the installation of these mass storage bundles.
When updating an existing 11i system, one can install the HWEnable11i bundle and the
desired mass storage bundle from the OE media in the same install session to meet
software dependencies.
In addition to currently supported cards, the swlist report may contain the product
numbers of cards that have been “pre-enabled,” but have not been released yet.

The FibrChanl-01 bundle delivers the fcd driver, which supports the A6826A, A9782A,
A9784A, AB465A, AB378A, and AB379A cards.

The FibrChanl-01 bundle containing the fcd driver has been updated with quality and

a. HP-UX Fibre Channel HBAs require that the Fibre Channel SAN maintains and guarantees
in-order delivery of frames. This is typically achieved by setting the in-order delivery option to true
in one of the Fibre Channel switch configuration parameters. All the switches in the SAN should
have in-order delivery option to be true. Consult the appropriate Fibre Channel switch
configuration guide for details.
