6Storage Networking
Storage Networking (SNW) is a licensable feature that allows you to take
advantage of the control path failover, data path failover, and host access
configuration features of 8 Gb/s HP LTO-5 FC tape drives, without those
drives being connected to a 4 Gb/s FC I/O blade. (Since the FC I/O
blade has a maximum speed of 4 Gb/s, you can only get the full speed by
NOT being connected to the FC I/O blade.)
The SNW license is also required for FIPS compliance. For more
information on FIPS, see FIPS-Certified Encryption Solution
on page 203.
