Table 15 Determining Managed Access Points (continued)

Storage systems | The MAPs are the sum of all |
| FA ports the software does not support, such as mainframe attached |
| FICON, are still counted as MAPs. However, the management server |
| does not count MAPs from storage systems it does not support. See |
| the release notes for information about supported storage systems. |

Example 1:
Assume you have the following environment:
•Brocade (two switches of 12 ports each, one switch of 16 ports) — Total 40 ports
•McDATA (one switch of 64 ports) — Total 64 ports
•Windows 2000 and Solaris Hosts (10 hosts with two Fibre Channel connection each) — Total 20 ports
•EMC Subsystem (one subsystem with 16 Fibre Channel ports) — Total 16 ports
The software calculates 140 MAPs in this environment.
Example 2:
Assume you have the same configuration above, and you add several devices to your network that the management server does not support. There are still 140 MAPs in this environment, since the management server does not count the ports from devices it does not support.
