HPE H55VVA3#ZTP SN8700B 64GB 48P 64GB SW Blade Support

Overview

The HPE H55VVA3#ZTP is a software support entitlement for the HPE SN8700B Director-class Fibre Channel switch platform. This SKU covers the 48-port 64GB blade within the SN8700B chassis, pairing blade-level software coverage with the director's high-density 64GFC fabric infrastructure. The primary deployment scenario is enterprise SAN environments where per-blade software support tracking is required for maintenance compliance and HPE support contract continuity. H55VVA3#ZTP is sourced through TD Synnex distribution and carries an Ethernet interface classification per UNSPSC code 81111812, which aligns it to network infrastructure support entitlements.

Compatibility

This support SKU is specific to the HPE StoreFabric SN8700B Director Switch platform configured with 48-port 64GB blade modules. It is not interchangeable with support licenses for other SN8700B blade densities (e.g., 24-port or 32-port variants) or other HPE SN-series director models such as the SN6700B or SN8600B. Verify your chassis serial number and installed blade part numbers against HPE's entitlement portal before ordering — support SKUs are non-transferable between hardware configurations.

Installation Notes

This is a software support entitlement, not a physical component. No hardware installation is required. Activation typically involves registering the entitlement against the target chassis serial number through HPE's support portal. Confirm your HPE contract account and chassis serial are on hand before activating — mismatched serial registration may require vendor intervention to correct.
