HP StorageWorks Remote Switch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide

Installing Remote Switch

A Remote Switch fabric requires two switches that are HP StorageWorks SAN
Switch 2Gb (version 3x) or (version 4x) or StorageWorks Core Switches, with the
switches configured the same.

Installing Remote Switches requires the installation of a separate license on each
of the two switches. Licenses may have been installed on the switches at the
factory. If not, contact your switch supplier to obtain a license key.

You can install a Remote Switch license either through telnet or through
Advanced Web Tools.
