Licenses; Known Issues - HP StorageWorks 2/32 - SAN Switch Release Note

Licenses

Licenses
Prior to replacing a switch or motherboard, display and record the current licenses that
are active in the unit. Additional licenses could have been added to the switch after the
installation. Licenses that are active can be viewed from a Telnet session using the
command, or they can be viewed from the Web Tools GUI.
licenseshow
Replacement units are shipped with all licenses enabled, with the exception of the
license for the Fabric Manager option.
Optional software (for example, Fabric Manager) does not require a license key, just
the license supplied at the time of purchase.
Zoning Licensing
HP provides Zoning as a standard feature on its SAN and Core Fibre Channel
switches. This means that the Zoning license is factory installed on each of these
switches. Therefore, references in the product documentation to installing the Zoning
license or to Zoning being an optionally purchased product should be ignored.

Known Issues

Read the following section for a list of current Fabric OS Version 4.0.2b limitations
and possible workarounds.
OpenVMS Path Failback
In very specific configurations utilizing multiple OpenVMS hosts connected to
multiple ports of an HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/32, it is possible that not all
paths will re-establish to a switch after a failover/failback failure scenario. In all cases
where a path failure occurs, initial path failover to an alternate path occurs as
expected, with no loss of data. Once the initial failed path is repaired however, it is
possible under certain rare conditions, for the failback sequence to the repaired path to
be unsuccessful.
HP believes the likelihood of occurrence is extremely low and has only encountered
this condition under extensive, multiple repeated failover/failback test sequences. This
condition is expected to be corrected in a future release.
