TI zone misconfiguration

Supported configurations for Traffic Isolation

Note the following configuration rules for TI zones:
• Traffic Isolation is supported only on the HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN
Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 4/32B, and 400 Multi-protocol Router, 4/256 SAN
Director and DC SAN Backbone Director (short name, DC Director), all configured in Brocade Native
Mode (interopmode 0).
• Traffic Isolation has limited support for FICON FCIP in McDATA Fabric Mode (interopmode 2), in the
following configuration only:
NOTE: At the time of this document's release, HP does not support McDATA Fabric Mode (interopmode
2).
• 400 Multi-protocol Router with E_Port connections to an M-switch and VE_Port connections to
another 400 Multi-protocol Router.
• Devices attached to M-switch only.
• Traffic Isolation is not supported in fabrics configured in Open Fabric Mode (interopmode 3).
• Limited USD-X replacement support for FICON FCIP in McDATA Fabric Mode.
• 400 Multi-protocol Router (platform specific) with E-port connections to an M-switch and VE-port
connections to another 400 Multi-protocol Router.
• Devices attached to M-switch only.
This feature is not supported in fabrics configured in any interopMode except for a predefined FICON
FCIP configuration in McDATA Fabric Mode.
• VE_Ports are supported in TI zones.
• FCR does not support Traffic Isolation.
• Ports in a TI zone must belong to switches that run Fabric OS v6.0 or later.
• Traffic Isolation is not supported in fabrics with switches running firmware versions earlier than Fabric
OS 6.0. However, the existence of a TI zone in such a fabric is backward compatible and does not
disrupt fabric operation in switches running earlier firmware versions.
