    Update recommendation All products supported by Fabric OS 6.0.x can be upgraded to Fabric OS 6.3.0c, with the exception of the following switches: HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch HP StorageWorks 4/16 SAN Switch Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem If applicable, HP recommends that you upgrade to Fabric OS 6.3.0c as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest fixes and features.

  • Page 6: Fcr Enhancements

    NOTE: Advanced Compression is supported only with Fabric OS 6.3.0a and later. Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL)—The DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade and 1606 Extension SAN Switch allow an FCIP tunnel connection to dynamically change the rate at which the tunnel transmits data through the TCP connections. ARL uses the information from the TCP connections to determine and adjust the rate limit for the FCIP tunnel dynamically.

  • Page 7: Optionally Licensed Software

    NOTE: For specific information on HP support for B-series and M-series interop fabrics, see the HP StorageWorks Merging Fabrics Based on M-series and B-series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes . CEE/FCoE features 802.1x defines a client/server-based authentication protocol for port access control. It prohibits unknown/unauthorized clients from connecting to an Ethernet network through publicly accessible ports.
  • Page 8 8 Link Inter-chassis links (ICL 8 link)—This license activates all 8 links on ICL ports on a DC04 SAN Director chassis for connection of two DC04 directors, or half of the ICL bandwidth for each ICL port on the DC SAN Backbone Director platform by enabling only 8 of the 16 links available. This allows users to purchase half the bandwidth of DC SAN Backbone Director ICL ports initially, and then upgrade with an additional 8-link license to utilize the full ICL bandwidth.

  • Page 9: Temporary License Support

    Included licensed software Enhanced Group Management—This license is included with all HP 8-Gb switches. Enhanced Group Management enables full management of the device in a data center fabric, with increased element management functionality and management task aggregation throughout the environment. This license is used in conjunction with the DCFM application software.

    Important notes This section contains information that you should consider before you use this Fabric OS release. DCFM compatibility Fabric OS 6.3.0c is fully compatible with DCFM 10.3.x management software. DCFM is a comprehensive SAN management application that enables end-to-end management of HP B-series data center fabrics.

  • Page 20: Webtools Compatibility

    When using the new Virtual Fabrics (VF) feature, HP recommends that all switches participating in a fabric with a logical switch use the latest firmware available. All switches must be operating at the minimum firmware levels or later, as noted in the FOS Interoperability table. When using either the Encryption SAN Switch or DC Switch Encryption FC Blade, switches that are attached to hosts and targets or that are part of the encryption flow must operate at the following minimum levels:...

  • Page 23 NOTE: FICON Cascaded CUP is qualified on select platforms only. Firmware upgrades and downgrades Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.3.0c is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.2.0a or later. The policy to support one-level migration only, which began with Fabric OS 6.0.0, provides more reliable and robust migrations.
  • Page 24 Firmware upgrade instructions IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you upgrade to Fabric OS 6.3.0c as soon as possible to take advantage of the fixes and new features. Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.3.0c is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.2.x. For more guidelines, see Update recommendation”...

  • Page 26 Fabric OS 6.3 supports only up to four 1-Gb circuits per VE/FCIP tunnel for the 1-Gb interfaces. A VE/FCIP tunnel created over 10-Gb interfaces will be limited to 10 circuits created using IPIFs on the same 10-GbE port (and no more than 1 Gb per circuit). As a recommended best practice, the VE tunnel should not be oversubscribed (for example, 8-Gb FC traffic over 500 Mb/s tunnel).
  • Page 27 Hot-plugging a CP with a firmware level earlier than Fabric OS 6.3.0 into a DC SAN Backbone Director or DC04 SAN Director with an active DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blade will result in the new standby CP not coming up. HP recommends that Converged Mode be enabled on all interfaces connected to CNAs.
  • Page 28 Upgrades from Fabric OS 6.3 to future releases will be nondisruptive to data traffic and will have behavior similar to a CP failover; ethsw remains unchanged. Downgrade from Fabric OS 6.3 to 6.1.2_cee1 is disruptive if ethsw is enabled on Fabric OS 6.3.

  • Page 29: Virtual Fabrics

    Virtual Fabrics On VF-capable platforms, the VF feature (initially supported with Fabric OS 6.2.0a) must be enabled in order to utilize the related capabilities, including logical switches and logical fabrics. When creating logical fabrics that include switches that are not VF-capable, it is possible to have two logical switches with different FIDs in the same fabric.

  • Page 30: Traffic Isolation Over Fcr

    NOTE: After upgrading to this firmware release, if users want to enable the Adaptive Networking QoS feature on 4-Gb platforms and on the Extended Fabrics E_Ports on both 4-Gb and 8-Gb platforms, they must do so explicitly through the available user interfaces. QoS is supported on switches in Access Gateway mode with Fabric OS 6.3.0x.

  • Page 31: Integrated Routing

    Switch EX_Port. To avoid this, ensure that the Mi10k is operating with MEOS 9.9.5 or later for this configuration. Integrated routing To allow HCL on an 8/40 SAN Switch when using Integrated Routing, the edge switch connected to the 8/40 SAN Switch must be running Fabric OS 6.1 or later. Integrated Routing EX_Ports are supported only in the base switch on a switch with VF enabled.
  • Page 32 FICON For the DC SAN Backbone Director, FICON is not allowed with a 48-port blade in the Default Logical Switch. All ports on a 48–port blade must be assigned to a user-defined Logical Switch to use them in a FICON enabled switch. The DC04 SAN Director is not supported for FICON Cascading in interopmode 2 or 3 for use in mixed fabrics with M-EOS platforms.
  • Page 33 As a best practice for deploying Fabric OS switches and directors into a FICON environment, verify the Fabric OS version shipped with the most current Fabric OS recommendation. HP Manageability recommends that you update all Fabric OS switches and directors to the same Fabric OS levels for production.

  • Page 34: Port Mirroring

    Port Mirroring On the 8/80 SAN Switch, the Port Mirroring feature has a limitation where all port mirror resources must remain in the same ASIC port group. The resources are the configure mirror port, Source Device, and Destination Device or ISL, if the Destination Device is located on another switch. The ASIC port groups are 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, 48-63, and 64-79.
  • Page 35 Time Division Multiplexor (TDM). To overcome this limitation and provide support for frame-based trunking with Extended Fabrics, Fabric OS 6.2.x and later has been enhanced to support interop- erability with these distance extension devices. Fabric OS 6.3.0 and later allows Extended Fabrics E_Ports to operate in VC_RDY mode using either ARB or IDLE primitives as fill words.
  • Page 36 ARB(FF)/ARB(FF) for initialization and fill words. The portcfgfillword command configures the ARB/ARB implementation. portCfgFillWord command The portCfgFillWord command configures the fill word for a single 8-Gb FC port.

  • Page 39 If two Encryption Engines are part of a High Availability Cluster, configure the host/target pair such that they form a multipath from both EEs. Avoid connecting both the host/target pairs to the same EE. This connectivity does not give full redundancy in case of EE failure resulting in HAC failover.
  • Page 40 Before committing configurations or modifications to the CTC or LUNs on an HP Encryption Switch or HP Encryption Blade, make sure that there are no outstanding zoning transactions in the switch or fabric. Failure to do so results in the commit operation for the CTC or LUNs failing and may cause the LUNs to be disabled.
