pipelining for all FICON tape and virtual tape systems to significantly improve XRC and tape
backup/recovery performance over virtually unlimited distance for the 400 MP Router and B-series
Multi-protocol Router blade.
Fabric Watch—Monitors mission-critical switch operations, and now includes new Port Fencing
capabilities.
FICON Management Server (also known as CUP or control unit port)—Enables host control of
switches in mainframe environments.
Inter-chassis links (ICLs)—Provide dedicated high-bandwidth links between two DC SAN Backbone
Director or DC04 SAN Director chassis, without consuming valuable front-end 8-Gb ports. Each
DC Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director must have the ICL license installed in order to enable
the ICL connections (available on the DC Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director only).
Adaptive Networking—Allows a user to ensure high priority connections and obtain the network
resources necessary for optimum performance, even in congested environments. The QoS SID/DID
Prioritization and Ingress Rate Limiting features are the first components of this license, and are
available on all 8-Gb platforms.
Integrated Routing license—Allows ports in an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director, HP
StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director, HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch, or HP StorageWorks
8/40 SAN Switch to be configured as EX_Ports, supporting FCR. This eliminates the need to add
a B-series Multi-protocol Router blade or use the 400 MP Router for FCR purposes, and also
provides double the bandwidth for each FCR connection (when connected to another 8-Gb-capable
port).
Server Application Optimization license (introduced with Fabric OS 6.2)—When deployed with
server adapters, optimizes overall application performance for physical servers and virtual machines
by extending virtual channels to the server infrastructure. Application-specific traffic flows can be
configured, prioritized, and optimized throughout the data center infrastructure.
Included licensed software
The Enhanced Group Management license is included with all HP 8-Gb switches. Enhanced Group
Management enables full management of the device in a data center fabric with increased element
management functionality and management task aggregation throughout the environment. This license
is used in conjunction with Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) application software.
