B-Series Fcoe Converged Network Switch; B-Series Fcoe Cn Switch - HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 - Enterprise Virtual Arrays Reference Manual

absolutely guarantee that a switch that requests to be the principal switch will actually achieve
that status.
NOTE:
The fabricprincipal command is available with Fabric OS version 4.1.0 or later.
The primary management switch is used by Fabric Manager as the main access point to that
fabric.
Fabric time synchronization is available with Fabric OS versions 2.6.1, 3.1, and 4.1 or later.
Switches in a fabric where security is not enabled synchronize time with the principal switch in
the fabric. The principal switch in the fabric synchronizes its clock with an NTP time server by
identifying the time server with the tsclockserver command. In a fabric where security is
nl
enabled, switches synchronize time with the primary Fibre Channel switch, which may or may not
be the principal switch.

B-series FCoE Converged Network switch

This section describes support for B-series FCoE CN switches, switch model, and FCoE fabric rules.
For more information on configuring FCoE SANs, see the HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel over
Ethernet application note, available at http://www.hp.com/go/SDGmanuals.
NOTE:
The naming scheme for the HP StorageWorks 2408 Converged Network Switch, which has 24 CEE
ports and 8 Fibre Channel ports, is slightly different from the typical B-series switch naming scheme.
Table 36 describes the B-series FCoE CN switch.

DCFM only provides the discovery function for the FCoE switch, and launches WebTools for switch management with DCFM
versions prior to 10.3.0. Full management features are provided with DCFM 10.3.0 and later versions.
