TCP/IP IPv4, Ethernet 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1,000 Mb/s
All 400 MP Router and MP Router Blade FCIP implementations must have dedicated IP
bandwidth. HP does not support 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade configurations with
FCIP tunnels configured with nondedicated bandwidth. For more information, see
"Configuring and monitoring FCIP extension services" in the HP StorageWorks Fabric
OS 6.x administrator guide.
For more information on dedicated IP bandwidth requirements. see
161.
Notes:
XP Continuous Access storage systems require a minimum of 16 Mb/s IP bandwidth.
FCIP is supported with IPsec data encryption (license required) or FCIP FastWrite
acceleration. This requires a minimum of firmware 5.2.0a. For firmware version
6.3.x, version 6.3.0c or later is required for FCIP FastWrite.
IPsec and FCIP FastWrite are mutually exclusive and cannot be configured simultan-
eously.
The connection to the 400 MP Router and MP Router Blade FCIP port must be GbE
compatible.
Continuous Access EVA
Continuous Access XP20000/24000, XP10000/12000, XP128/1024, XP48/512
See "Heterogeneous server
FCIP FastWrite is supported with XP Continuous Access and is not supported with
Continuous Access EVA.
Note: Use aptpolicy = 1 (port-based routing) and DLS = 0FF (dynamic load sharing) with
B-series switches, 400 MP Routers, or MP Router Blades using Continuous Access EVA.
XP Continuous Access supports aptpolicy = 1 and aptpolicy = 3 (exchange-based routing)
(see Table 176 on page 349).
For Continuous Access EVA, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array
compatibility reference matrix at
software/conaccesseva/index.html.
