Important Information about the IV_Domain_Fabric License
Read the following sections for important information regarding the
IV_Domain_Fabric license installed on your SAN Switch 2/8 EL model only.
Four Switch Limitation
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 EL switches are installed, Web Tools generates multiple
error messages.
Note:
You can upgrade the 2/8 EL switch to full fabric support by installing an
optional upgrade license. See the “
Four Switch Limitation Workarounds
” described in
these Release Notes for instructions on how to purchase the Full Fabric license.
