HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.X Administrator Guide (AA-RVHWB-TE, September 2005)

90 Configuring Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director
CP blades
CP blades determine the director type:
• If CP1 blades are installed, the director is a Core Switch 2/64.
• If CP2 blades are installed, the director is a SAN Director 2/128.
• If CP4 blades are installed, the director is a 4/256 SAN Director.
HP recommends that each HP StorageWorks director have only one type of CP blade installed and that
each CP (primary and secondary partition) maintains the same firmware version.
