On page 17, change the following statement:
“... ISL Trunking does not support the “LE”, “L1”, or “L2”
portcfglongdistance modes. For information about these modes and
Extended Fabrics in general, refer to the HP StorageWorks Extended Fabrics
Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
To:
“...Trunking is supported for normal E_Ports (referred to as L0 in the
portcfglongdistance command) with LWL media up to 5km at the full
speed permitted by the link. With LWL media, the throughput begins to fall off
beyond 5km, due to normal latency effects. ISL Trunking does not support the
“LE”, “L1”, or “L2” portcfglongdistance modes. For information about
these modes and Extended Fabrics in general, refer to the HP StorageWorks
Extended Fabrics Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.

(Part Number: AA-RTSDC-TE)
On page 26, the following statement is incorrect:
“VC_Translation_Link_Init
Specify 1 to activate long distance link initialization sequence. This mode is used
to initiate long distance connections. When configuring a long distance
connection, the first port configured does not require this mode. When configuring
the second port of a connection, use this mode to initiate communication between
the ports.”
Instead, you should specify 1 to activate the long-distance link initialization
sequence for all ports, including the first port configured.
