Optional Features
HP offers several operating features that are available for the switch as
customer-specified options. Available features include:
■ Open Systems Management Server or FICON Management Server —
Inband director or switch management is provided through purchase of the
OSMS or FMS feature.
Note: The Edge Switch 2/24 does not support out-of-band management through FMS.
■ Flexport Technology — The Flexport technology feature is a hardware port
expansion kit that allows customers to upgrade switch capacity on demand in
eight-port increments. A Flexport technology switch is delivered at a discount
without all the ports enabled. When additional port capacity is required, the
remaining ports are enabled (in eight-port increments) through purchase of
this feature.
Note: The Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 do not support the Flexport technology
feature.
■ SANtegrity Binding — Purchase and enabling of this feature enhances
security in SANs that contain a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached
devices.
■ Open Trunking — Purchase and enabling of this feature provides dynamic
load balancing of Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs.
After purchasing a feature, obtain the required feature enablement key through
your HP marketing representative. A feature key is an alphanumeric string
consisting of both uppercase and lowercase characters. The total number of
characters may vary. The feature key is case sensitive and must be entered exactly,
including dashes. The following is an example of a feature key format:
XxXx-XXxX-xxXX-xX.
