• Operates as a fully functional switch or an NPIV Access Gateway (with all ports licensed only).
• Integrates ISL Trunking (requires an optional license) and enables up to eight ports between a pair
of switches to be combined to form a single, logical ISL switch with a speed of up to 64 Gb/s
(128 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
• Provides DPS, which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically
routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
• Provides universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports.
Port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch
The port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch includes the system status LED, console port, Ethernet
port, USB port, and FC ports with corresponding port status LEDs. Additionally, a pull-out tab identifies
the serial number, MAC address, and WWN. Record the switch IP address on the pull-out tab for

Nonport side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch
The nonport side is used solely for airflow. The enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing
the air from the nonport side of the chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting to the port side.
Activating additional 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch ports
By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch model integrates eight licensed ports (ports 0 through 7). Additionally,
the 8/24 SAN Switch model integrates 16 licensed ports (ports 0 through 15). To enable additional
ports, you must purchase and install the HP Storage Works 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch 8-Gb 8-port
Upgrade LTU (part number T5518A):
• For the 8/8 SAN Switch—To enable ports 8 through 15, you must purchase and install one upgrade
license. To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install one upgrade license.
• For the 8/24 SAN Switch—To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install a
second upgrade license.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 13
See Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses, page 25.
Enabling E_Ports on the 8/8 SAN Switch
The 8/8 SAN Switch model requires that you purchase the HP StorageWorks Full Fabric Upgrade
License (part number T4261A) to enable E_Ports (the 8/24 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric
license installed).
By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch cannot be connected to another switch until this license is installed.
Without the license, the switch can still be connected directly to hosts and storage devices. To install
the Full Fabric Upgrade License, use the licenseadd command. When installed, the license appears
under the licenseshow command as Full Fabric License and indicates that E_Ports are now
enabled automatically.
8/40 SAN Switch features
• Provides the EZSwitch Setup Wizard for easy setup and basic configuration.
• Support for 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s autosensing FC switch and router ports.
• Integrates a single motherboard design with 667 MHz PowerPC 440EPx RISC CPU and integrated
peripherals which provide high performance.
• Ships FICON and FICON Cascading ready. FICON CUP is available, but requires an optional
license.
• Provides two hot-swappable, redundant integrated power supply and fan FRUs.
• Universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports. EX_Ports are activated
on a per-port basis with the optional HP B-series 48-80 Port SAN Switch Integrated Routing LTU.
This license provides native FCR on a per-port basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on
a dedicated routing blade or switch. Just like traditional FCR, IR uses EX_Ports to import and export
devices between fabrics, enabling selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation.
• Integrates a USB port that provides storage for firmware updates, output of the supportsave
command and storage for configuration uploads and downloads.
Port side of the 8/40 SAN Switch
The port side of the 8/40 SAN Switch includes the system status LED, console port, Ethernet port and
LEDs, USB port, and FC ports with corresponding port status LEDs.

Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses
1. Use the portshow command to verify the number of ports licensed on your switch. The port
status output indicates Started and Licensed for enabled ports. For more information on this
command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
2. Obtain the WWN from the Switch ID pull-out tab located on the port side of your switch.
Alternately, you can use the switchshow command to display the WWN.
3. Contact your HP representative to purchase the appropriate Port Upgrade license. HP requires
the switch WWN obtained in Step 2 to assign a license key.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 25
4. Install the license:
a. Log in to the switch as admin.
b. Issue the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in quotation marks.
(The license key consists of approximately 16 uppercase and lowercase letters and numerals.)
IMPORTANT:
Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly, the license will
not function properly.
c. Enter the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid. If a licensed product is
not displayed, the license is not valid.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to reboot the system.
5. Configure the inactive ports. Enter the portstart command to start the ports. This command
loads the port code, unlike the portenable command, which enables the port laser. For example:
portstart 16–31
6. Enter the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:
portenable 16–31
7. Optional: Enter the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports are started.
SAN Switch ISL Trunking groups
All 8-Gb SAN Switch models support ISL Trunking as an optional, licensed feature for FC ports. When
this feature is enabled, trunked groups of up to eight contiguous ports are created.
For example, the Fibre Channel ports on the SAN Switch are numbered from left to right and
color-coded into groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunked groups. Figure
12 shows the 8/8 SAN Switch with three trunked groups of eight ports.
NOTE:
If your 8-Gb SAN Switch is licensed for ISL Trunking (for example, Power Pack+ models ship with
this license), use the trunking groups available on the switch.
