Activating additional 4/32B SAN Switch ports
The 4/32B SAN Switch is available with either 16 ports (0 through 15) activated for the
standard model or 32 ports (0 through 31) activated for the Full or Power Pack models.
To activate additional ports, contact your HP representative to purchase the HP
StorageWorks 8-Port Upgrade License, part number T3677A. If your 4/32B SAN Switch
shipped with 16 active ports, purchase one 8-Port Upgrade License to activate ports 16
through 23; purchase a second 8-Port Upgrade License to activate ports 24 through 31.
NOTE:
Check the port status to determine whether the license is preinstalled. Use the
portshow
command for ports 16 through 31. If the port status output indicates
Started
and Licensed, all 32 ports are activated.
See Activating additional 4/32 and 4/32B SAN Switch ports , page 22 for steps on
installing the license and activating ports.
SAN Switch ISL Trunking groups
ISL Trunking is optional HP StorageWorks software that allows you to create trunking
groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. For more information about trunking, see the
Fabric OS administrator’s guide.
If your SAN Switch is licensed for ISL Trunking (for example, Power Pack models ship
with this license), use the trunking groups available on the switch.
