Zoning Limits - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Release Note

HAFM upgrade required for firmware 08.xx.xx
To upgrade to firmware 08.01.00, you must first upgrade the HAFM software to
07.01.00-9 (minimum) if you are using the Notebook HAFM Server to manage the
Director or Edge Switch. The HAFM software is contained on the HP StorageWorks
ha-fabric manager documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-820).
An upgrade kit to HAFM 07.01.00-9 is also available (Part Number 320908-B22) for
owners of a licensed version of HAFM. This HAFM upgrade is also available on the
following HP web site: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html.
If you are using the 1U rack-mount HAFM Appliance to manage the Director or Edge
Switch, the minimum HAFM version required is 07.02.00-9, which is the minimum version
installed. This HAFM software is contained on the HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager
documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-720).
The previous minimum versions of HAFM allow you to manage Directors or Edge Switches
running 08.01.00 firmware. However, to use all the new features and enhancements,
you need to upgrade HAFM to 08.08.00, which runs only on the 1U rack-mount HAFM
Appliance. HAFM 8.08.00 will be available in early December 2005.
As an alternative, you can perform the firmware upgrade directly to the Director or Edge
Switch using the switches HAFM Basic.
Please contact your local HP technical resource if you need to obtain a new HAFM
version or to confirm compatibility with devices in your SAN before upgrading to this
firmware.
For more information on upgrading software versions, see the HP StorageWorks
HA-Fabric Manager user guide. The features of this software version are described in
the documents listed in
Default zone is disabled by default
The default zone on the Director and Edge Switches disabled by default. Zoning must be
configured in order for devices connected to the Director or Edge Switch to communicate.
Some IP addresses must be avoided
If you use HAFM to manage other M-Series Fabric Directors and Edge Switches, do not
use IP addresses in the following range:
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255—This subnet is used internally by the HAFM
Appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the Call Home feature to function
incorrectly.
