400 MP Router and MP Router Blade use cases
For configuration examples, see the 400 MP Router and MP Router Blade use-case white papers:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/whitepapers.html
H-series switches with TR configurations
The TR feature allows you to configure each 8 Gb port on the H-series switch as a TR_Port, enabling
the sharing of server and storage resources between fabrics through the industry-standard NPIV
protocol. The TR feature also provides a higher level of security by ensuring that only
customer-specified devices are visible and shared between fabrics.
Figure 17 (page 47) shows how an H-series switch can be in a fabric with other H-series switches
and how you can connect it to multiple remote B-series or C-series fabrics. Figure 21 (page 51)
shows how you can map each device connected to an H-series switch to multiple devices connected
in one remote B-series or C-series fabric.
