• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 32 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 16 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director Blade
• FS8- 1 8
NOTE: The HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director Blade is not supported in either the HP
StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director or HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch
enterprise-class platform.
• When you have turned on the power to the chassis and the B-Series Multi-Protocol Router Blade in that
slot was not active prior to the power-on.
If the B-Series Multi-Protocol Router Blade is operational and the platform is rebooted, after the successful
bootup of the system, the blade continues operations using the previous configurations.
If a previously configured B-Series Multi-Protocol Router Blade is removed and another of the same B-Series
Multi-Protocol Router blades is inserted into the same slot, the ports use the previous configuration and
come up enabled.
If a previously-configured B-Series Multi-Protocol Router Blade is removed and one of the following blades
is plugged in:
• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 48 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 16 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 32 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 48 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 32 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 16 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb FC Blade
Then, other than the port's EX_Port configuration, all the remaining port configurations previously applied
to the B-Series Multi-Protocol Router Blade ports can be used. The EX_Port configuration on those ports is
disabled before the 4Gb or 8Gb port blade becomes operational. When a blade is present in the slot,
any requested port configuration is validated against the blade's capabilities before accepting the request.
To summarize:
• When one of the following blades is replaced by a B-Series Multi-protocol Router Blade, the current
port configuration continues to be used and all ports on the B-Series Multi-protocol Router Blade are
persistently disabled:
• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 16 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 32 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 16 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 32 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director Blade
• When a B-Series Multi-Protocol Router Blade Blade is replaced by one of the following blades, the
EX_Port configuration is removed from any ports that were configured as EX_Ports (equivalent to
disabling the EX_Port configuration using the portCfgEXPort command):
• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 16 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director 32 Port 4Gb Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 16 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 32 Port 8Gb FC Blade
• HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb FC Blade
All remaining port configurations are retained.
