Integrated Routing
FICON CUP
Power Pack + Software
Bundle
Fabric Vision
Integrated Routing is an optional license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FRC) on a per-port
basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing blade or switch. Just like traditional
FCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device
sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation. Integrated Routing provides architecture flexibility to
route on a port-by-port basis, enabling increased scalability and fault isolation.
Optional software allows FICON Switching to provide Fibre Channel and FICON intermix, FICON Control Unit
Port (CUP), and FICON cascading for more than one B-Series SAN Director in XP Storage Array
environments. The license feature provides Control Unit Port (CUP) in-band management function
designed to allow mainframe applications to perform configuration, monitoring, management and
statistics collection. These applications include System Automation for OS/390 (SA/390), Dynamic Channel
Management Facility (DCM) and Resource Management Facility (RMF). Hardware- enforced FICON and FCP
port zoning enhances separation with intermix operation.
The Power Pack+ Software Bundle comes with the 1606 Extension SAN Switch Power Pack+ or as an
optional software bundle for the 1606 Extension SAN Switch base and full models. It includes the
following:
Fabric Vision
Fabric Watch
Performance Monitor
Extended Fabric
ISL Trunking
Fabric Vision offers innovative diagnostic, monitoring and management capabilities to help accelerate new
application deployments, address SAN problems before they impact operations and reduce operational
costs. It Includes
Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite: A policy-based monitoring tool with pre-built rules and
automation that simplifies fabric-wide threshold configuration and monitoring.
Flow Vision: A comprehensive tool that enables administrators to identify, monitor, and analyze
specific application data flows without using taps to ensure optimized performance
Health and performance dashboard: A single customizable screen displayed in HP SAN Network
Advisor that contains all critical SAN information for convenient review and analysis
