Access Gateway support
Access Gateway is supported with the following HP products only:
Brocade 4-Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem (Brocade 4012)
Brocade 4-Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem (Brocade 4024)
Brocade 8-Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class (Brocade 5480)
HP StorageWorks 4/16 SAN Switch (Brocade 200E)
HP StorageWorks 8/24 SAN Switch (Brocade 300)
HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch (Brocade 5100)
IMPORTANT:
Although the HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch uses the same hardware as the 4/16 SAN Switch,
it does not support Access Gateway. The same applies to the HP StorageWorks 8/8 and 8/24 SAN
Switches. Both use the same hardware, but only the 8/24, which has all ports licensed, has Access
Gateway support. The 8/40 switch must also have all ports enabled in order to support Access
Gateway mode. Also, Access Gateway mode is not supported with the Brocade 4-Gb SAN Switch
for HP p-Class BladeSystem (Brocade 4012) if any half-height BladeServers (BL3xp) are configured
in the same sleeve in the p-Class enclosure. For the latest updates, see the HP website:
