4Gb SAN Switch redundancy

Two 4Gb SAN Switches can be installed in an HP p-Class BladeSystem for redundancy. One
switch can be mounted on the back of the Interconnect switch on the left side of the Blade
enclosure, and one can be mounted on the back of the Interconnect switch on the right side of
the enclosure. Each switch can provide a FC port connection to all of the servers in the
enclosure that have FC connections to the Interconnect Switch. SAN Switch availability with
respect to power supply consideration is equal to or better than the server blades they support
in the enclosure.

4Gb SAN Switch licensing

The 4Gb SAN Switch comes configured with one of three license options that complement
existing HP product lines. Some 4Gb SAN Switches come with licenses that place limits on the
number of domains that can be used. The three fabric licenses are:
• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem, base, which includes Zoning and Web
Tools and 2-switch support in a fabric
• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem, full-fabric
• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem, full-fabric, Power Pack
You can upgrade the 4Gb SAN Switch products by purchasing optional licenses; refer to the
HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.0 procedures user guide to learn how to upgrade a license.
