CP blades
The HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director supports the CP4 blade. The HP StorageWorks DC SAN
Backbone Director and HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch support the CP8 blades.
The CP blades in the HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director and HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN
Director Switch are hot-swappable. When the CPs from an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director
are inserted into an HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch, the switch type changes. The same is
true when inserting a CP blade from an HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch into an HP
StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director. When a CP blade with a Fabric OS of pre-6.2.0 is inserted
into an HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch, the blade becomes faulty. You can correct this by
upgrading the firmware on the CP blade in an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director or HP
StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch chassis using the firmwareDownload command.
