Zoning considerations with
FC4–48 blade
B-Series switches running pre-5.2.0 firmwaredonotacceptzonedatabases
with Domain, Port Index, references to ports higher than 255. Zoning in Fabric
OS 5.2.0 and later, therefore, do not allow a Domain, Port 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

segmentation reason.
Anyzoningthatisalreadyinusecancontinuetobeused. However,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. I f there is an existing Domain Port
Index zone that connects to p orts 32–47, HP recommends that you transform
just that zone to WWN zoning. This would minimize the likelihood of
rebuilding the entire fabric.
Fabrics containing only Fabric OS 5.2.0 and later switches have no zoning
limitation.
