Usage
The H-series switches can be used as core or edge switches in fabrics with up to 600 ports (including
8 Gb ISLs, but not including 10 Gb/20 Gb stacking port ISLs).
The TR feature allows you to connect H-series switches to B-series or C-series fabrics, enabling the
sharing of server and storage resources between fabrics through the industry-standard NPIV protocol.
Fabric rules
This section describes the SAN fabric rules that apply to all H-series switch SANs.
When using H-series switches in a fabric:
• Use the HP default switch settings for all configurations.
• All switch and fabric rules apply to fabrics implemented with the switch firmware versions listed
in Table 10.
