Release Notes for Cisco Fabric Manager Release 4.2(7a)
OL-20325-08
Licensed Cisco Fabric Manager Software Packages
SAN Extension over IP Package
The Cisco MDS 9000 SAN Extension over IP package allows the customer to use FCIP to extend SANs
over wide distances on IP networks using the Cisco MDS 9000 family IP storage services. Refer to the
Cisco MDS 9000 SAN Extension over IP package fact sheet for more information.

Storage Media Encryption Package
The Cisco MDS 9000 Storage Media Encryption package enables encryption of data at rest on
heterogeneous tape devices and virtual tape libraries as a transparent fabric service. Cisco SME is
completely integrated with Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches and the Cisco Fabric Manager application,
enabling highly available encryption services to be deployed without rewiring or reconfiguring SANs,
and allowing them to be managed easily without installing additional management software. Refer to the
Cisco MDS 9000 Storage Media Encryption package fact sheet for more information. The Storage Media
Encryption package is for use only with Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches.

Data Mobility Manager Package
The Cisco MDS 9000 Data Mobility Manager package enables data migration between heterogeneous
disk arrays without introducing a virtualization layer or rewiring or reconfiguring SANs. Cisco DMM
allows concurrent migration between multiple LUNs of unequal size. Rate-adjusted migration, data
verification, dual Fibre Channel fabric support, and management using Cisco Fabric Manager provide a
complete solution that greatly simplifies and eliminates most downtime associated with data migration.

I/O Accelerator Package
The Cisco I/O Accelerator (IOA) package activates IOA on the Cisco MDS 9222i fabric switch, the
Cisco MDS 9000 18/4 Multiservice Module (MSM-18/4), and on the SSN-16 module. The IOA package
is licensed per service engine and is tied to the chassis. The number of licenses required is equal to the
number of service engines on which the intelligent fabric application is used.The SSN-16 requires a
separate license for each engine on which you want to run IOA. Each SSN-16 engine that you configure
for IOA checks out a license from the pool managed at the chassis level. SSN-16 IOA licenses are
available as single licenses.

XRC Acceleration License
The Cisco Extended Remote Copy (XRC) acceleration license activates FICON XRC acceleration on the
Cisco MDS 9222i switch and on the MSM-18/4 in the Cisco MDS 9500 Series directors. One license per
chassis is required. You must install the Mainframe Package and the SAN Extension over FCIP Package
before you install the XRC acceleration license. The Mainframe Package enables the underlying FICON
support, and the FCIP license or licenses enable the underlying FCIP support. XRC acceleration is not
supported on the SSN-16.
