Zoning enhancement to reduce fabric congestion

In Homogeneous Fabric mode, an enhancement was added to reduce unnecessary

fabric congestion when performing fabric-wide zoning operations that impact the D efault

Zone. This enhancement limits the number of members allowed in the Default Zone to

64. When the ﬁrmware detects a zoning operation that would cause the member count

in the Default Zone to exceed 64 (such as deactivating an active zone set that has more

than 64 members), the op eration is aborted and the user interface (H AFM 8.6 or EWS)

displays the following message: Zoning request denied: Operation will

cause the Default Zone to exceed its limit of 64 members.

NOTE:

This limit is disabled when the switch parameter Sup press Zoning RSCNs on Zone set

activations check b ox is enabled.

Issue concerning HAFM remote client access to the HAFM appliance with

dual LAN conﬁguration

When using a single public LAN connection at the HAFM appliance for all Ethernet

communications, the single LAN connection operates correctly for the following functio ns:

• Directors and edge switches that the HAFM appliance manages

• Computers seeking remote client access to the H AFM appliance

• SAN m a nagement applications such as HP O penView SAN Area Manager

When using two LAN c onnections (public and private) at the HAFM appliance, Microsoft

Windows and HAFM determine the following:

• Which L AN is to be the p rivate L AN for communication between the HAFM

appliance, and the directors and edge switches that the HAFM appliance

manages?

• Which L AN is to be the public L AN for communication between the HAFM

appliance and computers seeking remote client ac cess to the HAFM appliance?

The issue a rises because either LAN connection on the HAFM appliance can be
