Brocade 4Gb Full Fabric or Power Pack

Fernando Boza — Sat, 06 May 2006 07:55:36 GMT

I have 4 Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem conected to one Core Switch 2/64 in one fabric.

Those switches are base Model.... supports connectivity to a maximum of 2 Brocade switches in one fabric.

I bought "Power Pack" license and installed, but still have warning messages "Fabric exced limit configuration"

Power Pack don't include fabric licence ?

Hi Fernando,
PowerPack include those licenses
# ISL Trunking
# Advanced Performance Monitoring
# Fabric Watch
# Extended Fabrics
If you want full fabric you must obtain Full Fabric Upgrade license
( PNo.:T4261A )

hi fernando

if you buy a new switch with the power pack license you will have no problem (full fabric is included) but if you by a new switch only with the base license an upgrade ist with the power pack license and have more than 2 switches in one fabric youÂ´ll need the full fabric license partno: T4261A. :(((((

we had the same problem but with 4 x 4/32 and 16 x 4/8 switches 8)

regards
