HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Release Note page 15

Zoning Change RSCN Control
Normally, when a zone set is activated, a fabric format domain Register State
Change Notification (RSCN) is sent to all devices in the fabric. With firmware
Version 05.01.00-24 or later, you can disable these RSCNs from being sent. This
is done using the Suppress RSCNs on zone set activations check box on the
Configure Switch Parameters dialog box.
This feature significantly changes the normal behavior of the fabric. Devices will
have no warning when zones change and will not automatically update their
zoning information. The ability to suppress RSCNs is disabled (check box is not
selected) by default. This feature can be configured through HA-Fabric Manager
(HAFM), Embedded Web Server (EWS), and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Embedded Web Server (EWS) Changes
With firmware version 05.01.00-24 or later, the EWS now provides support for
configuration of Port Binding. The zoning interface has also been enhanced to
allow you to easily add members to a zone that are not directly attached to the
locally managed switch. You are presented with a list of all devices that are
logged in to the fabric. You can select these devices for addition to a zone.
Command Line Interface (CLI) Changes
CLI has been enhanced to provide the following benefits:
Edge Switch Release Notes
Access to symbolic name information in the name server database.
Counter Threshold Alerts (CTA)—Used to configure limits and alerts for
any of the supported port statistics fields. You can configure alerts for
individual ports, groups of ports, or various port types, based on
user-specified counter value exceeded over a specified time duration.
Note: The CTA configuration is cleared upon downgrade to firmware below
05.01.00.
