Features of Fabric OS 6. x follow (see the appropriate Fabric OS administrator guide for configuration
restrictions and more details):
• Adaptive Networking with QoS (optional licensed feature) —Provides tools to support high bandwidth
on high-priority connections, ensuring optimum performance, even in congested networks. This
option includes two features: QoS SID/DID Prioritization and Ingress Rate Limiting. Fabric OS 6.3
includes QoS support for domain, index and WWN zone definitions, and bottleneck detection
for F_Ports. See the
HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide for configuration restric-
tions.
• ICLs (DC SAN Backbone Directors and DC04 SAN Directors only) —Provides dedicated high-
nl
bandwidth links between two DC SAN Backbone Director chassis, without using the front-end 8
Gb/s ports. Each DC SAN Backbone Directors must have the ICL license installed to enable ICL
connections.
• Top talkers (requires Advanced Performance Monitor license) —Provides real-time information about
the top bandwidth-consuming flows passing through a specific point in the network.
• Traffic isolation zones —Enables application segregation, guaranteeing separate paths through
the fabric. You can isolate traffic assigned to ISLs in the fabric.
• Virtual Fabrics —Enables division of a single physical chassis into logical switches, allowing you
to create logical fabrics with other switches. This feature was introduced with Fabric OS 6.2 x and
is supported on the DC SAN Backbone Director, DC04 SAN Director, and 8/40 and 8/80 SAN
switches.
• Fibre Channel routing and FCIP enhancements —Support for EX_Port Masterless Trunking and QoS,
enhanced compression, FCIP Trunking, and ARL features for the 1606 Extension SAN Switch and
DC Dir Switch MP Extension Blade.
NOTE:
Masterless EX_Port Trunking is not supported when using FCIP links in Fabric OS 6.3.0. It is
supported in Fabric OS 6.3.0a or later.
• Encryption enhancements —Supports the System card and Quorum card, tape encryption and HA
clustered key vault beginning with Fabric OS 6.3.0.
NOTE:
Advanced Zoning and WebTools are automatically enabled without additional licensing starting with
Fabric OS 6.1
x.
