Port Mirroring - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Release Note

For FIPS mode, certificates must be installed before FIPS activation.
FICON
For the DC SAN Backbone Director, FICON CUP is not allowed with a 48-port blade in the Default
Logical Switch. All ports on a 48–port blade must be assigned to a user-defined Logical Switch to use
them in a FICON CUP enabled switch.
FL_Port (loop) support
The 8-Gb 48 port FC blade now supports the attachment of loop devices in the DC SAN and
DC04 Directors.
VF must be enabled on the chassis, and loop devices can be attached only to ports on a 48-port
blade assigned to a non-default logical switch operating with the default 10-bit addressing mode.
(Loop devices may not be in the default Logical Switch.)
A maximum of 144 ports can be used for connectivity to loop devices in a single logical switch
in a chassis.
Loop devices are supported when attached to ports on the 8-Gb and 4-Gb 16- and 32-port FC
blades, with no new restrictions.

Port Mirroring

On the 8/80 SAN Switch, the Port Mirroring feature has a limitation where all port mirror resources
must remain in the same ASIC port group. The resources are the configure mirror port, Source
Device, and Destination Device or ISL, if the Destination Device is located on another switch. The
ASIC port groups are 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, 48-63, and 64-79. The routes will be broken if the
port mirror resources are spread across multiple port groups.
Port Mirroring is not supported on a switch with the VF feature enabled.
10 G interoperability
10 G interop between HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6 Port 10 Gb FC blade and McDATA blades
is not supported due to a hardware limitation. However, the SAN Director 6 Port 10 Gb FC blade is
supported in a chassis running in interopmode 2 or 3 (SAN Director 6 Port 10 Gb FC blade to SAN
Director 6 Port 10 Gb FC blade connections only). A SAN Director 6 Port 10-Gb FC blade will not
synchronize with a McDATA 10 G blade, but will not negatively impact the system.
