New and Change Topics
The Autozone feature is a mechanism to automate
zoning via a single command or to allow minimal
effort for deploying of fabric switches that support 32
Gbps or higher speed Fibre Channel interfaces.
Changed the default FLOGI quiesce timeout value
from 2000 to 0 millisecond.
VMID support allows unique identification of virtual
machines (VMs) by SAN fabric infrastructure.
The FLOGI scale optimization feature enables users
to increase the chassis-wide FLOGI scale limits. This
feature is supported only on Cisco MDS 9718
Directors.
The Zone Server performance is enhanced using the
following features:
• Zone Server FCNS Shared Database
• Zone Server SNMP Optimizations
• Zone Server Delta Distribution
When this feature is enabled on all the switches in a
fabric, it enables better scalability.
