HP B-series Fabric OS 6.3.2e Release Notes (5697-1816, March 2012) - includes all 6.3.2x versions

increased element management functionality and management task aggregation throughout
the environment. This license is used in conjunction with the DCFM application software.
• 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch FC Ports on Demand—This license enables all eight
FC ports on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch.
IMPORTANT: Most 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch units shipped with Fabric OS
6.1.2_cee1 did not include this license and must have it installed before upgrading to Fabric
OS 6.3.0 or later. Failure to do so will result in the disabling of FC ports after the upgrade.
Contact HP Support to obtain this license key if your 2408 switch does not already have it
installed.
• FCoE—This license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet functionality on the 2408 FCoE
Converged Network Switch. Without the FCoE license, the 2408 FCoE Converged Network
Switch is a pure Layer 2 Ethernet switch and will not support FCoE bridging or FCoE Forwarding
(FCF) capabilities.
Temporary license support
HP now supports temporary licenses or Universal Temporary Licenses. To obtain the Universal
Temporary Licenses, select the Software Demo & Evaluation Downloads option at the HP website:
www.software.hp.com.
The following list of licenses are available as Universal Temporary licenses. This means that the
same license key can be installed on any switch running Fabric OS 6.3 or later that supports the
specific feature. Universal Temporary license keys can be installed only once on a particular switch,
but can be applied to as many switches as desired. Temporary use duration (the length of time the
feature is enabled on a switch) is provided with the license key. All Universal Temporary license
keys have an expiration date beyond which the license can no longer be installed on any unit.
