Cp Blades; Port Blade Compatibility; Setting Chassis Configuration Options - HP AE370A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch 4/12 Administrator's Manual

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
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- 1 6IP blade. Consult
