Is there a good HP-rebranded-switch to Brocade-switch naming translation table?

[Adam Garsha]

Sometimes EVA release notes talk about B-Series switches using the Brocade series numbers. I want to check my 2/16, 2/32, and 4/16 switches for compatibility...

Namely the 3-host-port max with XCS 5.1

I want to know for example what the Brocade Series number would be for my 2/16, 2/32, and 4/16 switches. How to determine?

This link is ok, but need to figure out my older switches; Namely, Storageworks B-series 2/16 and 2/32 switches.

Here is my guess:

2/16 -> 3800
2/32 -> 3900
4/16 -> 200E
Blade -> 4012

FC Switch 8 - Silkworm 1???
FC Switch 16 - Silkworm 1600

SANswitch 8 - SilkWorm 2400
SANswitch 16 - SilkWorm 2800

SAN Switch 8-EL - SilkWorm 2040
SAN Switch 16-EL - SilkWorm 2250

SAN Switch 2/8-EL - SilkWorm 3200
SAN Switch 2/16-EL - ?

SAN Switch 2/8V - SilkWorm 3250
SAN Switch 2/16V - SilkWorm 3850

SAN Switch 2/16 - SilkWorm 3800
SAN Switch 2/32 - SilkWorm 3900

SAN Switch 4/8 - SilkWorm 200E
SAN Switch 4/16 - SilkWorm 200E

SAN Switch 4/32 - SilkWorm 4100


Core Switch 2/64 - SilkWorm 12000

SAN Director 2/128 - SilkWorm 24000

SAN Director 4/256 - SilkWorm 48000

The 2/16-EL is simply a Brocade 3800 with a VL4 license. This means that it is limited to a maximum of four switches in the fabric.
