Installing the SAN Switch 2/8

Important Information about the Four

Switch Limitation for 2/8 EL Models Only

The SAN Switch 2/8 EL shipping configuration integrates the IV_Domain_Fabric license. The IV_Domain_Fabric license limits the number of switches that can be connected to a single fabric to four. If more than four switches (of any type) are added to the fabric where 2/8 EL switches are installed, Web Tools generates multiple error messages. Read the following sections for specific error messages and workarounds related to the four switch limitation.

Note: Upgrade the 2/8 EL to full fabric support by installing an optional upgrade license. See the “Four Switch Limitation Workarounds” section on page 27 for instructions on how to purchase the Full Fabric license.

Check the License Installed

To verify the switch’s current license, use the command:

licenseshow

You do not have to delete the IV_Domain_Fabric license before upgrading to the Full Fabric license.

Four Switch Limitation Errors

The following section summarizes the error messages generated when more than four switches are installed in a fabric with the SAN Switch 2/8 EL.

Note: An operator can build a SAN with more than four switches by upgrading the SAN Switch 2/8 EL to Full Fabric. To upgrade, you must install the optional Full Fabric license on each SAN Switch 2/8 EL. See the “Four Switch Limitation Workarounds” section on page page 27 for instructions on how to purchase the Full Fabric license.
