Whenever a Cisco OS is loaded, you are required to turn on the HP-specific default values. To enable the HP-specific defaults, the process is as follows (the commands below ONLY apply to Cisco O/S version 2.7.0 and later):1) Login to switch console.2) Type "enable" to go to privileged mode.3) Type "configure" to go to config mode.4) Type "xoem-id hp" and reboot switch to enable the HP-specific defaults.After reboot, the "show version" command should show something like "SFS 7000 (HP)", to indicate that the HP defaults are now in effect.

NOTE: Customers can use SFS 7000D (24-port DDR switch from Cisco) or ISR 9024D-M (24-port DDR switch from Voltaire) with any of the InfiniBand HCAs. The required firmware is:

•SFS 7000P or SFS 7000D: 2.9.0 or later

•ISR 9024D-M: 3.4.5 or later
