Installing the SAN Switch 2/8
If the timer expires while trying to access Web Tools (for example, Zone Admin, Switch Admin, or Switch View), an HTML file similar to license.htm appears, stating that Web Tools is disabled. In addition, a prompt displays (see Figure 4) allowing you to install the optional Fabric license. After the Full Fabric license is installed, all Web Tools functionality resumes.

Violation Timer Errors
The violation timer begins decrementing when the four switch limitation is exceeded. The timer is cumulative. Resetting the power cycle will not reset the timer.
If the switch is moved to a fabric with less than five switches, the error condition is cleared; however, the violation timer stops counting down. If the switch is moved to a fabric with more than four switches, the violation timer continues from where it left off. When the accumulative violation timer reaches 45 days (not configurable), Web Tools for that switch is disabled. A message similar to Figure 4 displays in a telnet session or error log.
Note: When Quiet Mode is enabled on a SAN Switch 2/8 EL with a IV_FABRIC license installed, the four switch limitation warning messages display. If the IV_FABRIC license is not installed, Quiet Mode works as described in the hp StorageWorks Fabric OS V3.0.x/V4.0.x Reference Guide.
