Zoning considerations with
FC4–48 blade
B-Series switches running pre-5.2.0 firmware do not accept zone databases
with Domain, Port Index, references to p orts higher than 255. Zoning in Fabric
OS 5.2.0 and later, therefore, do not allow a Domain, Por t Index entry for
ports above 255 to be created unless all switches in the fabric are at
Zoning considerations continued...
Fabric OS 5.2.0 or later versions. Once such an entry has been put into
the zone database, an attempt to connect a pre-Fabric OS 5.2.0 switch to
the fabric results in that switch being segmented with a Zone Mismatch
segmentation reason.
Any zoning that is already in use can continue to be used. H owever, in Fabrics
containing pre-Fabric OS 5.2.0 switches, if new devices are added on the
upper 16 ports (ports 32-47) of the FC4-48 port blade, then WWN zoning
has to be used for those devices. If there is an existing Domain Port Index
zone that connects to ports 32–47, HP recommends that you transform just
that zone to WWN zoning. This would minimize the likelihood of rebuilding
theentirefabric.
Fabrics containing only Fabric OS 5.2.0 and later switches have no zoning
limitation.
