QuickSpecs<strong>HP</strong> <strong>SN8000B</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>DC</strong> <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong> <strong>Family</strong>Product Highlights<strong>HP</strong> <strong>SN8000B</strong> Enterprise Increased core-edge <strong>and</strong> active-active mesh topologies of up to nine (9) chassis can be supported with theInter Chassis Link Licenses addition of <strong>SN8000B</strong> 8-slot or 4-slot Enterprise Inter-Chassis Link licenses (FOS v7.0.1 or greater required).A license specific to the chassis is required for each chassis in the ICL-connected fabric. Fabric topologieswith fewer than five (5) <strong>SN8000B</strong> chassis do not require this license.<strong>HP</strong> B-Series <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong>FICON CUP Active LicenseOptional license feature provides Control Unit Port (CUP) in-b<strong>and</strong> management function designed to allowmainframe applications to perform configuration, monitoring, management <strong>and</strong> statistics collection.These applications include System Automation for OS/390 (SA/390), Dynamic Channel ManagementFacility (<strong>DC</strong>M) <strong>and</strong> Resource Management Facility (RMF). Hardware- enforced FICON <strong>and</strong> FCP port zoningenhances separation with intermix operation.NOTE: Supported for all B-series <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong>s.<strong>HP</strong> <strong>DC</strong> <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong> SwitchMultiprotocol Ext BladeFICON AcceleratorUpgrade LTU<strong>HP</strong> B-series <strong>SAN</strong> Backbone<strong>Director</strong> IntegratedRouting LTUThe FICON Accelerator software license increases the speed of FICON disk <strong>and</strong> tape read <strong>and</strong> writes, whilemaintaining the integrity of comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> acknowledgement sequencesNOTE: Supported for the MP Extension Blade (AP865A, AP865B) <strong>and</strong> Enhanced MP Extension Blade(C8R46A) for all B-series <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong>s.Integrated Routing is an optional license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per-portbasis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing blade or switch. Just like traditionalFCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling selective devicesharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation. Integrated Routing provides architecture flexibility toroute on a port-by-port basis, enabling increased scalability <strong>and</strong> fault isolation.NOTE: Supported for all B-series <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong>s.<strong>HP</strong> MP Blade PerformanceExtension LTUOptional software license to activate the high performance extension services. The <strong>HP</strong> MPR Blade providestwo types of <strong>SAN</strong> Services: FC-FC Subnet Routing Service for <strong>SAN</strong> isl<strong>and</strong> consolidation: Logically connectdevices in multiple <strong>SAN</strong> fabrics to share storage resources-from any fabric regardless of distance-with theadministration <strong>and</strong> fault isolation benefits of separately managed fabrics.FCIP <strong>and</strong> FC Tunneling Service for <strong>SAN</strong> extension over distance: Either seamlessly <strong>and</strong> reliably extends <strong>HP</strong>B-Series <strong>SAN</strong>s across MAN <strong>and</strong> WAN IP networks or dark fiber <strong>and</strong> xWDM Fibre Channel networks with highperformance extension services, fully integrated with <strong>HP</strong> CA solutions for EVA <strong>and</strong> XP. FC <strong>and</strong> FCIPextension services are mutually exclusive.NOTE: <strong>HP</strong> MP Blade Performance Extension LTU (T4427A) is an optional license for <strong>HP</strong> Multi-ProtocolRouter blade (AG461B) for the <strong>DC</strong> <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Director</strong>s.DA - 12993 Worldwide — Version 35 — May 1, 2013 Page 10
