Instead, all of the traffic will be sent over a single connection with no failover
capability and without the performance increase that would come from balancing the
load over multiple connections.
• Maximum Cable Lengths:
HF1 (copper): The maximum distance between two nodes or between a node and a
switch is 60 ft. (2 standard cable lengths are sold and supported: 35 ft. and 60 ft.)
HMP supports up to four HF1 switches connected in series with a maximum cable
length of 60 ft. between the switches and 60 ft. between switches and nodes.
HF2 (fibre): The maximum distance is 200m (4 standard cable lengths are sold and
supported: 2m, 16m, 50m and 200m).
HMP supports up to four HF2 switches connected in series with a maximum cable
length of 200m between the switches and 200m between switches and nodes.
HMP supports up to 4 hybrid HF1/HF2 switches connected in series with a
maximum cable length of 60 ft. between copper ports and 200m between fibre ports.
• HMP is supported on the PCI 4X adapters, A6092A and A6386A.
• HMP is supported on A400, A500, rp2400, rp2450, rp54xx (N-class), rp74xx (L-class),

• HMP is supported on J-class, B-class and C-class workstations running 64 bit
HP-UX when patch number PHNE_25485 is installed.
• HMP is supported on HyperFabric from HF version B.11.00.11 forward and from HF
version B.11.11.01 forward.
• HMP is not supported on V-class, A180 or A180C servers.
• HMP is not supported on 32 bit versions of HP-UX.
