DCFM compatibility

Fabric OS 6.2.2a is fully compatible with DCFM 10.1.x and 10.3.x management software. DCFM
is a comprehensive SAN management application that enables end-to-end management of HP B-series
Data Center Fabrics. It is the next-generation product and the successor to existing B-series management
products, including HP StorageWorks Fabric Manager (FM) and Enterprise Fabric Connectivity
Manager (EFCM).
Starting with DCFM 10.3.0, DCFM is available in three versions:
DCFM Professional—Bundled with B-series switches, it is ideally suited for small- and medium-sized
businesses that need a lightweight management product to manage their smaller fabrics (one
physical fabric at a time, up to 1,000 ports).
DCFM Professional Plus—Designed for medium-sized businesses or departmental storage networks,
it features support for up to 4 fabrics and 2,560 ports.
DCFM Enterprise—Designed for enterprise-class customers, it showcases unparalleled performance
and scalability (24 physical fabrics, up to 9,000 switch ports). This is the only version of DCFM
that supports the HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director and FICON.
