Important notes

This section contains information that you should consider before you use this Fabric OS release.
New OUI Support on B-Series platforms
Overview
The OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) value is part of a Fibre Channel WWN that uniquely
identifies the manufacturer of Fibre Channel products. The OUI values assigned to Brocade are
used by Fabric OS to validate certain fabric interoperability support.
The currently assigned OUI/WWN values are nearing exhaustion, necessitating Brocade to use
a new OUI value for WWN assignment. The new OUI value for Brocade is 00:05:33. A WWN
of 10:00:00:05:33:41:5c:c1, for example, demonstrates the usage of the new OUI. WWNs
with the current OUI value are expected to be consumed by mid-2010. Brocade factory shipments
of switches after this time will have WWNs that include the new OUI.
Fabric OS 6.2.2b has been enhanced to recognize the new Brocade OUI value to guarantee
proper functionality. It is important to note that no switch with the new OUI/WWN should be
downgraded to a version of Fabric OS that does not recognize this new OUI. It is also important
to note that specific minimum requirements for recognition of the new OUI will neither be validated
nor enforced by Fabric OS.
Impact of products with the new OUI to existing fabrics/environments
In most situations, a switch that uses the new OUI can be seamlessly added to an existing fabric,
even if the other switches in that fabric are not using Fabric OS versions that are aware of the new
4/256 SAN Director
Four power supplies
Not supported
DC SAN Backbone Director and DC04 SAN
1
Director
Two power supplies. The FC4- 1 6IP blades are
not supported in the DC SAN Backbone Director
and DC04 SAN Director.
A DC SAN Backbone Director with 3 or more
FS8- 1 8 blades, requires (2+2) 220 VAC
power supplies for redundancy.
A DC SAN Backbone Director with 1 or 2
FS8- 1 8 blades, requires (2) 220 VAC power
supplies for redundancy.
The DC04 SAN Director requires (2) 220
VAC power supplies to provide redundant
configuration with any number of FS8- 1 8
blades.
