ISL TrunkingISL Trunking
ISL Trunking For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight E-ports to
provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 16Gb switch needs its own license. The
switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 128Gb) when
routing connections between 16Gb switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links,
which comprise the logical trunk group.

Server Application Optimization (SAO) license improves overall application performance for physical
servers and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with B-Series Fibre Channel HBAs, extends B-Series
Adaptive Networking from the B-series SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers application-
level, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server applications.
Solution Requirements:
SAO license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch
Adaptive Networking (AN) license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch
SAO requires B-series HBA installed in the server

Integrated SAN extension over native Fibre Channel provide metro connections up to 100 km including
support for 10 Gbps Fibre Channel over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and dark
fiber. This license enables support on the first eight (8) ports of the switch.

HP SAN Network Advisor Professional is a server based management application available at no-charge
that comes with B-series SAN Switches and includes the following features:
Allows management of a single Fabric OS (FOS) fabric (up to a 1,000 B-Series switch ports)
Performs group switch management beyond the scope of Web Tools
Does not offer management for the DC SAN Backbone Director,the SN8000B Director, or FICON
It is targeted for SMB customers that use FOS based SAN fabrics and require a management solution for
smaller SANs based on a single fabric.
SMB customers that initially start off with SAN Network Advisor Professional and have a small SAN
environment may over time feel the need for an enterprise-class product (SAN Network Advisor
Enterprise) as their environments start to grow in size and complexity, and as they start to uptake more
enterprise-class functionality (such as Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, etc.). A non-disruptive upgrade path
is available from SAN Network Advisor Professional to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise.

HP SAN Network Advisor Enterprise and Professional+ are the enterprise-class products that support
FOS products. SAN Network Advisor Enterprise provides complete B-series Directors Management
including enterprise-class features/environments such as FICON, Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, adaptive
networking, etc while SAN Network Advisor Professional+ provides the same feature set except for
support for the DC SAN Backbone Director, SN8000B 8-Slot Director, and FICON.
SAN Network Advisor Enterprise delivers unprecedented scalability, up to 24 fabrics and 9,000 switch
ports, while SAN Network Advisor Professional+ scales to 4 SAN Fabrics and 2560 switch ports. There
is an upgrade available from SAN Network Advisor Professional Plus to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise.
