FOS Migration Considerations This section contains important details to consider before migrating to or from this FOS release. TSBs - Critical Issues to Consider Prior to Installing This FOS Release Technical Support Bulletins (TSBs) are produced to provide detailed information about high priority defects or issues present in FOS releases. The following sections specify all current TSBs that have been identified as being a risk to or resolved with this specific version of Fabric OS.
FOS Upgrade and Downgrade Special Considerations The DCX/DCX-4S units running any FOS v6.4.x can be non-disruptively upgraded to FOS v7.0.1. This upgrade is non-disruptive to FC traffic only. When loading FOS v7.0.1 to a DCX chassis with FCOE10-24 blades with Brocade Network Advisor v11.1.1/11.1.1a, there is no warning flagging FCoE traffic disruption. The DCX/DCX-4S units running FOS v6.4.1_fcoe1 can be non-disruptively upgraded to FOS v7.0.1.
Important Notes This section contains information that you should consider before you use this Fabric OS release. Brocade Network Advisor Compatibility Brocade® Network Advisor provides the industry’s first unified network management solution for data, storage, and converged networks.
SMI Compatibility It is important to note that host SMI-S agents cannot be used to manage switches running FOS v7.0.1 If users want to manage a switch running FOS v7.0.1 using SMI-S interface, they must use Brocade Network Advisor’s integrated SMI agent. Fabric OS Compatibility The following table lists the earliest versions of Brocade software supported in this release, that is, the earliest supported software versions that interoperate.
Supported Products and FOS Interoperability Secure Fabric OS (on any model) Not Supported Mi10k, M6140, ED-6064, ES-3232, ES-4300, ES-4400, ES-4500, ES4700 (McDATA Fabric Mode and Open Fabric Mode) 1 Direct E_Port connections are not supported – must use FCR. M-EOS v9.9.5 or later McDATA ED-5000 32-port FC director Not Supported Multi-Protocol Router Interoperability Brocade 7420 Not supported Brocade 7500 and FR4-18i blade V6.2.
Zoning Compatibility Note: Users are recommended to upgrade to the following versions of firmware when interoperating with a switch running FOS v7.0 or later in the same layer 2 fabric to overcome some of the zoning operations restrictions that otherwise exist: Main code level FOS v6.2 FOS v6.3 FOS v6.4 Patch code levels with full zoning compatibility FOS v6.2.2d or later FOS v6.3.2a or later FOS v6.4.

Brocade HBA/Adapter Compatibility Brocade HBA/Adapter should be using driver version 2.3.0.2 or later when attached to 16G ports on Brocade switches. D-Port FOS v7.0.0a and later support the execution of D-Port tests concurrently on up to eight ports on the switch. D-Port tests may only be executed on ports configured for ―portcfglongdistance port# L0‖ or normal port distance mode. Executing D-Port tests on long distance ports may cause tests to fail due to time out exceeded.
MACE, FSS Error: fcsw0-vs: MISMATCH: component., svc.c, line: 2462, comp:FSSK_TH, ltime:2010/11/08-04:54:35:485484 Adding of 3PAR Session/Enclosure LUNs to CTCs is now supported. Session/Enclosure LUNs (LUN 0xFE) used by 3PAR InServ arrays must be added to CryptoTarget (CTC) containers with LUN state set to ―cleartext‖, encryption policy set to ―cleartext‖. BES/FS8-18 will not perform any explicit enforcement of this requirement.
Hot Code Load from FOS v6.4.1a to FOS v7.0 or later is supported. Cryptographic operations and I/O will be disrupted but other layer 2 FC traffic will not be disrupted. When disk and tape CTCs are hosted on the same encryption engine, re-keying cannot be done while tape backup or restore operations are running. Re-keying operations must be scheduled at a time that does not conflict with normal tape I/O operations.

v6.4.1_fcoe/v6.4.1_fcoe1/v7.0.0 or later, the following CEE map ―default‖ will be created automatically: cee-map default priority-group-table 1 weight 40 pfc priority-group-table 2 weight 60 priority-table 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 When upgrading from FOS v6.3.x or v6.4.x to FOS v6.4.1_fcoe/v6.4.1_fcoe1/v7.0.0 or later, the CEE start up configuration dcf.conf file will be incompatible with the FCoE provisioning changes implemented in v6.4.1_fcoe and later releases. Users can save the dcf.
switch:admin>fcoe –disable slot/port switch:admin>fcoe --enable slot/port When a FCOE10-24 blade is powered off during configuration replay, the interface specific configuration won’t get applied. Later when FCOE10-24 blade is powered on, all physical interfaces will come up with default configurations. User can execute ―copy startup-config running-config‖ command to apply the new configuration after powering on the FCOE10-24 blade.
If ICL ports are disabled on only one side of an ICL link, the enabled side may see enc_out errors . Native Connectivity (M-EOS interoperability) A switch running FOS v7.0 or later cannot form E-port connectivity with any M-EOS platform. A switch running FOS v7.0 or later can only operate in Brocade native mode (interopmode 0). Connectivity between M-EOS platforms and a switch running FOS v7.0 or later is supported via FCR.
WWN in lower case characters, the merge will fail, since the switches do not recognize these zoning configurations as being the same. For additional details and workaround solutions, please refer to the latest FOS Admin Guide updates or contact Brocade Customer Support.
