Limitations and Restrictions
This section lists the limitations and restrictions for this release.
Using SAN Device Virtualization on Cisco Fabric Switches
There must be at least one SAN device virtualization-enabled switch that is not a Cisco MDS 9124
switch, a Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, or a Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM
BladeCenter between the server and the target that are being virtualized. In other words, SAN device
virtualization does not work when initiators and primary targets are connected to the same Cisco MDS
9124 Switch or Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem or Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM
BladeCenter.
Interface Names on Cisco Fabric Switches and Interface Based Zoning
The Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter
use different Fibre Channel interface names than those used on MDS 9000 Family switches. Interface
names are used in many operations, including domain interface zoning.
The Cisco Fabric Manager does not support using a port picker for configuring domain interface zoning
Note
for the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter. You must enter the bay or ext interface name formats
manually.
