Brocade Compatibility Matrix 12-07-2006

SilkWorm Switch Compatibility Statement
This document summarizes equipment that is known to be compatible with the Brocade SilkWorm Family
of switches, directors, and routers. Products named in this documents compatibility lists reflect equipment
tested at Brocade, and equipment tested by Brocade OEM and developer partners.
Brocade and its OEM and development partners have tested a wide variety of devices for compatibility
with the Brocade SilkWorm family of switches, directors, and routers. The current list of Brocade products
may be found at http://www.brocade.com/products/index.jsp. Based on product testing and operation of
products in customer installations, the following Support and Compatibility guidelines have been
generated for reference. The devices listed in this matrix are deemed compatible with Brocade products
in a Brocade infrastructure. Brocade cannot provide direct support for the end nodes or applications listed
in this document, but is committed to ensuring the Brocade infrastructure is operating correctly while
integrating with these components. The components listed in this document are not guaranteed to work in
all configurations, but Brocade is committed to help customers with a valid Brocade Support Contract to
resolve any compatibility issues. For purposes of this document, compatibility is defined as having the
ability to connect to the SilkWorm product, to register with the name server (if appropriate), and to support
a moderate level of I/O. Users of this list should plan on validating their specific configuration with a level
of testing appropriate to their application.
Sections titled Brocade Compatibility Matrix Quick Reference and Brocade Compatibility Matrix by
Vendor provide an overview of devices that are compatible within a Brocade infrastructure. Guidance is
provided on products that are known to be able to integrate with a Brocade infrastructure. To ensure
proper integration, users should refer configuration details to their OEM or integrator supporting these
devices. Brocade expects that the solution provider will supply detailed guidelines on the correct
firmware, driver, and configuration settings required to ensure any specific needs are met. By the date of
publication of this document many vendors may offer more recent software support for their products.
Users of this document should refer questions on end-to-end interoperability to their OEM or integration
partner. Your support provider can assist with the proper configuration and tuning of your end-to-end
solution to meet any specific business needs. The products listed in this section are considered
compatible in a Brocade infrastructure.
The column titled Fabric Aware in the section Brocade Compatible Matrix Quick Reference indicates
products that have been tested within the guidelines of the Brocade Fabric Aware Partner program. This
program provides a key set of guidelines to ensure that partners products meet the minimum
requirements for compatibility in a Brocade networked storage environment. Fabric Aware is intended to
provide additional assurance that standard off-the-shelf components can integrate seamlessly within an
existing Brocade infrastructure. More information on the Fabric Aware program can be found at
http://www.brocade.com/partners/fabric_aware_program.jsp.
In addition to the product testing performed by Brocade, Brocade OEM and Development Partners also
have extensive testing programs. Each of these partners may maintain their own compatibility,
interoperability or support guidelines, and can provide detailed information on the configurations they
support. Products and product variants not specifically listed in this document can and may be compatible
and supported in a production SAN infrastructure. Your OEM or integration partner is the first reference
for questions on supported devices, fabric configuration, firmware or Fabric OS selection, and any
settings for end-to-end solution deployment.

Silkworm Switch Compatibility Statement

Many Brocade partners provide detailed support information online. Examples include but are not limited
to):
EMC : http://www.emc.com/interoperability/index.jsp
HP : http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html
IBM : http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/san/index.html
Network Appliance : http://netapp.com/products/fcsan.html
Brocade avoids the use of the term certification when it comes to compatibility and interoperability
testing. Brocade expects suppliers of complete solutions (OEM or integration partner) to provide details
on configurations they have certified. This document provides the basis for integrators to assemble
working systems that they can support and certify. However, Brocade cannot certify that any components
on this list, when attached to any other component via our switching products, will operate with no issues.
Brocade is committed to actively testing and correcting any issues with its products, and to work with
partners to help resolve compatibility issues as they are reported.

Scalability Support Matrix

This section details several key support considerations for SilkWorm SANs. Brocade will support all of our
partners on any fabric configuration and connected SAN devices, as detailed in Table 1 and that does not
exceed the defined maximums, and satisfy the minimum Fabric OS & Fabric Manager requirements.
Secure Fabric OS Disabled is any SilkWorm with Fabric OS or with the Secure Fabric OS license
installed but not activated. Secure Fabric OS is only supported in configurations where designated (i.e.
Secure Fabric OS Enabled). The support designator indicates either current or legacy. The Legacy
support designator is provided to enable those customers who deploy with a specific version of Fabric OS
to continue to expand to support limits without having to upgrade Fabric OS. The Current support
indicator reflects the most recent support levels.

The support limits apply to a single fabric and connected devices. The implementation of zoning is
recommended for any SAN and especially critical for any large fabric, since zoning is fundamental to the
functioning of multi-hundred port fabrics.

FC-FC Routing Support

This section details several key support considerations for configurations that utilize the Multiprotocol
Router. Brocade will support all of our partners on any fabric configuration and connected SAN devices
as long as the maximums defined in Table 5 are not exceeded and the switches connected to the Edge
Fabrics are running the minimum version of Fabric OS specified in Table 6. Each Edge Fabric connected
to the Routed Fabric must also fall within the support specifications defined in Table 1.

FFFFF8 and will maintain identifier mappings to support multicast group
management
AL_PA
Arbitrated Loop Physical Address; an 8-bit value used to identify a device

participating in an Arbitrated Loop.
AL_TIME
Arbitrated Loop Timeout value; twice the amount of time it would take for a
transmission word to propagate around a worst-case loop. The default value is 15
milliseconds (ms).
ANSI
American National Standards Institute; governing body for standards in the U.S.
ARB
Arbitrative Primitive Signal; this applies only to an Arbitrated Loop topology, and is
transmitted as the fill word by an L_Port to indicate the port is arbitrating access to
the loop.
Arbitrated Loop
A shared 100/200-megabytes-per-second Fibre Channel transport supporting up to

a maximum of 126 devices and 1 attachment to a Fabric. Ports with lower AL_PAs
