Reinstalling Feature Licenses
Feature Licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on a
Flexport switch to regain use of all available ports.
Multiple FC HBA Ports in Separate Zones
Multiple FC HBA ports in the same host should be placed in separate zones or they
might be perceived as potential targets (some HBA's log-in as both host and target).
CTP Controls Port Lights
Port lights on the edge switch and director products are controlled by the CTP
functionality. Certain activities such as FW updates, IPL'ing the CTP or switching
over to the backup CTP (Director) will cause these port lights to extinguish
momentarily until control is reasserted by the CTP. The actual FC traffic is not
affected during these times.
Support for Speed Auto-Negotiate
Speed Auto-Negotiate is not currently supported for HA and Failover SAN
configurations and is not recommended in general at this time. Speed should be hard
set to match the attached host or target port capability whenever possible.
Alternate Settings for “R_A_TOV” and “Switch Priority”
Parameters in Large Fabric SAN Deployments
NOTE: Please contact your local HP technical resource if you feel this item may apply to your
SAN deployment.
In certain large fabric deployments it may be necessary to increase the R_A_TOV
value and modify “Switch Priority” parameters of hp StorageWorks directors and edge
switches.
