At the time of the Fabric OS 6.1.2b release, HP's latest supported firmware version is actually 6.2.1. HP recommends that
you upgrade to that version, if possible, to take advantage of new features and bug fixes. See the HP StorageWorks Fabric
OS 6.2.1 release notes for details.

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. If you are using Admin Domains, HP recommends that you
downgrade Fabric OS to 6.1.0h.
