Distributed Fabrics User's Guide

INSTALLING REMOTE SWITCH

A Remote Switch fabric requires two switches with Fabric OS version

a2.4.1 or later installed; both the switches must have the same configuration

and a separate license for each switch. The switch licenses are applied by

your HP Account Support Engineer (ASE) or Customer Engineer (CE).

You can also install a license through telnet or Web Tools. Should any

license keys be needed to access features not already licensed on your FC

6164 switch, they can be obtained through the following web site:

Installing Through Telnet

1. Log onto the switch by Telnet (see the user’s guide provided with the

hardware for details), using an account that has administrative privileges.

2. If you want to determine whether a Remote Switch license is already

installed on the switch, type licenseShow on the Telnet command line.

A list displays all licenses currently installed on the switch.
