Using SAN Device Virtualization on Cisco Fabric Switches
There must be at least one SAN device virtualization-enabled switch that is not a Cisco MDS 9124
switch, a Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, or a Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM
BladeCenter between the server and the target that are being virtualized. In other words, SAN device
virtualization does not work when initiators and primary targets are connected to the same Cisco MDS
9124 Switch or or Cisco MDS 9134 Switch or Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem or Cisco
Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
CWDM SFPs
The 2-Gbps CWDM SFPs do not have have a maximum speed set in memory and they negotiate to
4-Gbps on modules that support the higher speed. As a result, the link comes up and appears to work,
but then becomes disabled and connectivity problems occur. To correct this problem, both sides of the
connection must have their speed hard coded to 2-Gbps.

the encrypter.bat/.sh script and pasting the output into the appropriate file, either server.properties
or aaa.properties.
The Microsoft Security Patch MS06-040 is known to break applications with a large heap memory.
If you increase any Java application's heap (including Fabric Manager) beyond 64 M, we
recommend you do not apply this patch.
