Director Speed; Configure Fabric Parameters - HP Surestore 64 - Director Switch Installation Manual

This option is enabled (check box not selected) by default. In most cases this
option should be enabled so that attached devices can receive notification of
zoning changes in the fabric. However, some HBAs may log out, then log back
into the fabric when they receive an RSCN, thereby disrupting Fibre Channel
traffic. Consult with your HBA and storage device vendor to determine if
disabling this option (and thereby enabling RSCN transmission) will cause
problems with your HBA or storage products.
