Integrated Routing; Access Gateway; Fibre Channel Routing - HP StorageWorks 8/8 - SAN Switch Release Note

Fibre Channel Routing

All FCR switches must be running Fabric OS 6.2.x in order to support M-EOS 239 Domain Mode on
the Mi10K
FCR backbone fabric ID changes
With 8Gb director blades, the switch must be disabled to change the backbone fabric ID.
With routing and dual backbone fabrics, the backbone fabric ID must be changed to keep the
IDs unique.
Traffic isolation over FCR
All switches and Fibre Channel Routers, both in edge and backbone fabrics, must be running
Fabric OS 6.1.0 or later in order to support this feature.
In order for Traffic Isolation over FCR to function properly, the associated TI zones in each fabric
(edge and backbone) need to have failover enabled.

Integrated routing

To allow Hot Code Load on an HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch when using Integrated
Routing, the edge switch connected to the 8/40 SAN Switch must be running Fabric OS 6.1 or
later.
The HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch does not support Hot Code Load from Fabric OS 6.1.0
to 6.2.x in a dual backbone configuration with a routed connection to an M-EOS product.
Integrated Routing EX_Ports are supported only in the base switch on a switch with VF enabled.
To test Integrated Routing functionality, disable the VF feature (fosconfig --disable vf)
first.
Integrated Routing and TopTalkers are not concurrently supported in Fabric OS 6.2.x. To use In-
tegrated Routing, be sure to disable TopTalkers before configuring EX_Ports.

Access gateway

When in Access Gateway mode, the Automatic Port Configuration policy may not work when attached
to M-EOS switches. M-EOS ports should be set to G_Port to prevent problems with port type discovery.
FCS Automatic Distribution
When using the FCS Automatic Distribution feature in Fabric OS 6.0 or later, all switches in the
fabric must be running Fabric OS 6.0 or later. If any switches are running Fabric OS 5.x or
earlier, only manual distribution can be used.
Fabric OS 6.0 or later allows FCS Automatic Distribution only when in strict mode, requiring only
switches with Fabric OS 6.0 or later.
FIPS
FIPS mode should not be enabled on the 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches. If FIPS is enabled, the 4/8
and 4/16 SAN Switches will not boot.
