CP Blades
CP blades determine the director type:
• If CP1 blades are installed, the director is a SilkWorm 12000.
• If CP2 blades are installed, the director is a SilkWorm 24000.
• If CP4 blades are installed, the director is a SilkWorm 48000.
Mixed CP blades are not supported on a single chassis, except during specific upgrade procedures
detailed in SilkWorm Director Migration Guide. Brocade recommends that each SilkWorm director
have only one type of CP blade installed and that each CP (primary and secondary partition) maintains
the same firmware version.
Port Blade Compatibility
Table 5-2 indicates which blades are supported for each SilkWorm director.
Setting Chassis Configurations
The chassisConfig command allows you to set the chassis configuration for products that support both
single-switch (one domain) and dual-switch (two domains) operation.
