Installing Extended Fabrics

The Extended Fabric feature enables you to configure ports for a

long-distance link of up to 100 km. For detailed information on this feature,

see the Distributed Fabrics User’s Guide.

Extended Fabrics requires a switch with Fabric OS version a2.4.1 installed

and a license for each switch in the fabric. An Extended Fabrics license is

installed on each switch by your HP Customer Engineer (CE). This license

is installed through either Telnet or Web Tools as described in this chapter.

Should any license keys be needed to access features not already licensed

on your FC Switch 6164, they can be obtained through the following web

site:

Installing Through Telnet

1. Log on to 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 an Extended Fabrics license is already

installed on the switch, type

licenseShow

on the Telnet command line.

A list displays of all the licenses currently installed on the switch.
