HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 - Enterprise Virtual Arrays - C-Series MDS 9216 I, 9222 I, IPS-4, IPS-8, 14;2 Multiprotocol Services Modules, 18;4 Multiservice Modules; HP Storage Replication Products; C-Series MDS Module Features and Requirements

C-series MDS 9216i, 9222i, IPS-4, IPS-8, 14/2 Multiprotocol Services Modules,
18/4 Multiservice Modules
The C-series MDS 9216i, MDS 9222i, IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8), 14/2 Multiprotocol
Services Modules, and 18/4 Multiservice Modules provide MDS FCIP and iSCSI functionality.
The IPS-4, IPS-8, 14/2, and 18/4 modules integrate seamlessly into the C-series MDS 9000 switches
and support the full range of features, including VSANs, security, and traffic management.
You can use the C-series modules in the C-series 9500 and 9200 series switches. The IPS-4, IPS-8,
14/2, and 18/4 modules have four, eight, two, and four 1 Gb/s Ethernet ports, respectively.
Table 153 lists the features and requirements for the C-series modules.

Continuous Access EVA
XP Continuous Access
Notes:
• Contact an HP storage representative for EVA and XP supported models.
See “Heterogeneous server rules” on page 185 for specific operating system support.
• Continuous Access EVA requires a load balance setting of src-dst-id on all C-series
Fibre Channel switches (for the MDS 9020, the default setting is src-dst-id). XP
Continuous Access supports a load balance setting of scr-dst-id or scr-dst-
ox-id on all C-series Fibre Channel switches.
