HP 4400 Release Note page 17

When using either the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch or the HP StorageWorks DC
Switch Encryption FC Blade, switches attached to hosts and targets, or switches that are part of
the encryption flow, must operate with the following minimum levels:
2-Gb platforms must operate with Fabric OS 5.3.2b or later.
4-Gb and 8-Gb platforms must operate with Fabric OS 6.1.0h, 6.1.2a, or later.
Fabric OS feature compatibility in native connectivity modes
Some Fabric OS features are not fully supported when operating in the native connectivity modes
for deployment with M-EOS-based products. All HP StorageWorks models supported by Fabric
OS 6.2.2e support both interopmodes 2 and 3, with the exception of the 4/32 SAN Switch.
NOTE: HP may not support all of these switches in this mode. For information about support in
interopmodes 2 and 3, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric Interoperability: Merging Fabrics Based
on M-series and B-series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes, available at
www.hp.com.
