Remote Switch is an optionally licensed product that runs on HP StorageWorks
SAN Switches, version 3.0.x/4.0.x or later.

The Remote Switch fabric functions with the aid of a “bridging device” or
network-bridge. The network-bridge supports both a Fibre Channel physical
interface as well as a secondary non-Fibre Channel FCIP physical interface.

Note:

Remote Switch is supported when used with HP StorageWorks Data Replication

Manager (DRM) only.
