When routing to an M-EOS edge fabric using frame redirection, the fabric must have a Fabric
OS-based product in order to configure the frame redirection zone information.
5
When directly attached to a host or target that is part of an encryption flow.
6
Products operating with Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.3.1b or 6.1.0e cannot participate in a
logical fabric that is using XISLs (in the base fabric).
7
These platforms cannot be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
8
SANRouters 1620 and 2640 should not be used with XPath or Fabric OS-based routing (FCR) for
connections to the same edge fabric.
9
Using HP StorageWorks Fabric Manager (FM) 5.5 or earlier with Fabric OS 6.1.1 or later can
result in problems with Zoning, Performance monitoring, SYSLOG configuration, FICON wizards,
IOD Delay, AAA replication, Port enable/disable and other functions. Unless you are using Admin
Domains, HP recommends that you upgrade to HP StorageWorks Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM)
10.3.x to use with Fabric OS 6.1.1 or later. However, if you are using Admin Domains, HP
recommends that you downgrade Fabric OS to 6.1.0h.

Fabric Manager is not supported with Fabric OS 6.3.x.
