2. EMC supported drivers, firmware, and boot BIOS can be downloaded from http://www.emulex.com in the EMC section, by obtaining the supported driver for the Emulex LPe1150−E.

3. This switch module is supported in both legacy switch module position (bay 3 or 4) of all IBM BladeCenter chassis' and when installed in the IBM Multi−switch Interconnect Module for

IBM BladeCenter (39Y9314), in bays 8 and 10 in the IBM BladeCenter H chassis.

4. NPIV must be enabled for this switch.

5. This switch module supports ISL connection to Cisco FC switches or direct connection to EMC Storage Arrays only.

6. ISLs are supported to Cisco FC switches

7. The following setting should be verified: DefaultZoning = False; DefaultVisibility = None

8. One of the core fabric switches must be configured to be a principle switch. the blade switches should not acquire the role of principle switch.

9. Requires IBM Multi−Switch Interconnect Module for IBM BladeCenter (39Y9314) installed in IBM BladeCenter H and with appropriate fibre channel switch modules to installed in bays

8 & 10.

10. This switch module is supported in both legacy switch module positions (bays 3 and 4) of all IBM BladeCenter Chassis and when installed in the IBM Multi−switch Interconnect

Module for IBM BladeCenterTM (39Y9314), in bays 8 and 10 in the IBM BladeCenter H chassis.

11. Supported only in bays 3 and 4 of IBM BladeCenter chassis'.

12. NPV is not supported with SAN−OS versions less than 3.3.1c

13. Dell offers the following versions of the DS−220B−FF−D switch: DS−210B−DE and DS−210B−DEU. Please reference the Dell website for further information.

14. This switch is offered by Dell as the Brocade VL2 LC.

15. Direct connection to EMC Storage Arrays are not supported

16. Internal port(s) on Qlogic or McData 4Gb FC switch module(s) must be set to 4Gb (if 4Gb operation is required or to 2Gb if 2Gb operation is required)

17. HP Part number AE373A is 12 port upgrade license for Brocade 4/12 SAN Switch.

18. NPIV must be enabled for this switch

19. Fibre channel arbitrated loop connections (direct attach) are not supported for EMC Storage Arrays.

20. External boot required BIOS v1.26 (in Multiboot 1.63) on Qlogic QMH2462 4Gb FC HBA (403619−B21) when connected to VC−FC module (409513−B21).

1. FC−SW environments using Brocade 2800 or EMC DS−16B require switch firmware 2.5.0d or greater.

2. DOS boot device maximum accessible capacity is 2GB. Netware SYS volume must be in LUN 0.

3. NetWare boot support is contingent on migration of the DOS boot partition to an NSS partition. NetWare will warn you of the possibility of data corruption if you convert the DOS boot

partition to an NSS partition. The risk of data corruption is during I/O to the C: drive while in the NetWare debugger, or while writing reboot log files during an "Auto Restart After

Abend". When you load DOSFAT, please set "Auto Restart After Abend" to 0 to avoid the possibility of data corruption.

4. Remote boot not supported with PERC controllers enabled in system BIOS.

5. No MirrorView or SnapView used on boot LUNs.

6. Requires "SCAN ALL LUNs" in AUTOEXEC.NCF just before the "Mount All" statement.

7. For any CLARiiON SP port configured to a host for booting, the maximum number of logical volumes allowed on that port is 32.

8. Edit config.sys with the following: Files=100, Buffers=99

9. Previous versions of the HBA and boot installation guides contained restrictions for boot configurations. All boot configuration information is now listed here and supersedes any

found in previous boot documentation.

10. To enable failover with fabric boot DOSFAT.NSS must be loaded from the autoexec.ncf. In a failed condition the c:\ partition will not failover

correctly but the DOSFAT_C: partition will.

11. Access Logic required, direct connect or fabric, (no booting through switch inter−switch links)

12. Novell Storage Services supported.

13. Supports eight (8) hosts per array.
