INSTALLING EXTENDED FABRICS

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 Account Support Engineer (ASE) or
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 6164 switch, 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.
