FCIP FICON Accelerator Enhancements Fabric OS 7.0.1 and later enables ESCON and Bus/Tag printer emulation support on FCIP platforms. This feature provides near native performance for FICON Extended paths to remote ESCON or Bus and Tag printers. Enabling FICON Printer emulation requires the Advanced FICON Acceleration license. This feature is supported on the HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch and the HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade. Optionally licensed software Fabric OS 7.0.
a high bandwidth FCIP tunnel and failover resiliency. Each FCIP circuit also supports four QoS classes (Class-F, High, Medium and Low Priority), each as a TCP connection. The Adaptive Rate Limiting feature provides a minimum bandwidth guarantee for each tunnel with full utilization of the available network bandwidth without impacting throughput performance under high traffic load.
Available on the HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch and HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch platforms only. • HP SN8000B ICL POD License. This license activates ICL ports on core blades of an HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch or an HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch.

Zoning and fabric operations When configuring zoning or other fabric-wide settings in a fabric that has products operating with different versions of Fabric OS, HP recommends that you perform the configuration through an interface (such as Web Tools) to a product with the most recent version of Fabric OS. Some older versions of Fabric OS do not fully support newer hardware models, and problems may arise when configuring settings through these older products.

Other recommendations Adaptive Networking/flow-based QoS prioritization • Any 8 Gbps or 4 Gbps FC platform running Fabric OS 6.2.2e or earlier version of firmware cannot form an E_Port with a 16 Gbps FC platform when Adaptive Networking QoS is enabled at both ends of the ISL. Users must disable QoS at either end of the ISL in order to successfully form an E_Port under this condition. Users can disable QoS via the portcfgQos --disable command.
Encryption Behavior for the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch and HP StorageWorks DC Switch Encryption FC Blade • For crypto tape operations, ensure that Emulex 4 Gbps PCIe FC HBA firmware/driver 2.82A4/7.2.50.007 or higher are used. Use of a lower level firmware/driver may result in hosts not being able to access their tape LUNs through a crypto target container. • If the migration to Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later does not occur from 6.4.1a, 6.4.1b, or 6.4.
• HP SKM/ESKM are supported with Multiple Nodes and Dual SKM/ESKM Key Vaults. Two-way certificate exchange is supported. See the Encryption Admin Guide for configuration information. If you are using dual SKM/ESKMs on HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch/HP StorageWorks DC Switch Encryption FC Blade Encryption Group, then these SKM/ESKM appliances must be clustered. Failure to cluster results in key creation failure.
recommends that users perform sfpshow immediately after inserting the SFP and ensure SFP is seated properly before connecting the cables. • When running Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later, if any of the following features are enabled in the FCIP configuration, a downgrade operation to pre-Fabric OS 7.0.
active HP DC SAN Director 10/24 FCOE Blade results in the new standby CP not coming up. 24 • When operating in Converged Mode, tagged traffic on the native VLAN of the switch interface is processed normally. The host should be configured not to send VLAN tagged traffic on the switch’s native VLAN. • When operating in Converged Mode, tagged frames coming with a VLAN tag equal to the configured native VLAN are dropped.
• For switches having different OUI indices from the eight assigned to Brocade WWNs can differ in more than three bytes. In this case, after normal merge and a rename according to the described logic, login group names can be the same for WWNs differing only in OUIs. The merge logic would drop one of the Login Groups to satisfy the requirement to keep the Login Group Name unique in the fabric wide configuration.
FCR and Integrated Routing • With routing and dual backbone fabrics, the backbone fabric ID must be changed to keep the IDs unique. • When using FC Routing in a backbone to edge configuration with an Mi10K in the edge fabric, users may experience slow throughput for hosts attached to the Mi10K. Users may encounter this following a bounced IFL connection between the backbone and edge fabric. This slowdown can be resolved by disabling/enabling the Mi10K ports for the hosts that are impacted.
ICLs on HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch /HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch • If an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch with an 8-link ICL license is connected to an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch with a 16-link license, the HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch with the 16-link license reports enc_out errors. The errors are harmless, but continue to increment.
VF incapable switch. Extra caution should be used to verify the FIDs match for all switches in the same Logical Fabric. • A switch with virtual fabrics enabled may not participate in a fabric that is using Password Database distribution or Administrative Domains. The virtual fabrics feature must be disabled prior to deploying in a fabric using these features. • There are limitations to zoning operations that can be performed from a Fabric OS 6.x switch that is in the same fabric as a Fabric OS 7.0.
HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch platforms while running Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later firmware • ◦ Firmware upgrade from Fabric OS 7.0 to a later release on HP 8/8 Base (0) E_Port SAN Switch, HP 8/40 Base 24-ports Enabled SAN Switch, HP 8/80 Base 48-ports Enabled SAN Switch, and the HP SN6000B 16 Gbps FC Switch. ◦ Firmware upgrade from Fabric OS 7.0.1 to a later release on the HP SN3000B 16 Gbps FC Switch. The QSFP information in the sfpshow output indicates the ID field as all zeros.
Migrating from Fabric OS 6.4.x HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch/HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch units running any Fabric OS 6.4.x release can be non-disruptively upgraded to Fabric OS 7.0.2d. Any 8 Gbps platforms (other than HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch/HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch) using a Fabric OS version earlier than Fabric OS 6.4.1a must upgrade to Fabric OS 6.4.1a or later before non-disruptively upgrading to Fabric OS 7.0.2d.

forced commit command halts all active rekeying processes running in all CTCs and corrupts any LUN engaged in a rekeying operation. There is no recovery for this type of failure.
in the event of a security compromise. When disabling the encryption capabilities of the EE using the noted commands, the EE should not be hosting any CTCs. Ensure that all CTCs hosted on the HP Encryption Switch or HP Encryption Blade are either removed or moved to a different EE in the HA Cluster or EG before disabling the encryption and security capabilities. • Whenever initNode is performed, new certificates for CP and KAC (SKM/ESKM) are generated.
• SKM/ESKM dual node cluster - Auto failover considerations: In a dual node SKM/ESKM cluster configuration with the encryption switch, ensure that the two SKM/ESKM nodes are always available and online for proper key archival. If one of the SKM/ESKM nodes fails, you cannot use the configuration to create new keys. In other words, adding new targets or LUNs to the encryption path will not work until both the SKM/ESKM nodes are available.
SAN Backbone Director, HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch, or HP SN8000B SAN Director switches. Area Comments Cascading There are special configuration considerations for environments with three or more switches (domain IDs) in a FICON fabric. Seek assistance from service support to ensure proper configuration.
Area Comments Optics When configuring interswitch links (ISLs) between a 16 Gbps platform and an 8 Gbps platform, the ISL ports must be configured for E_Port only. Serviceability FPGA version 0x1C on the HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade is not supported with Fabric OS 7.0.0c. The FPGA version can be checked by issuing the bladevershow command. Serviceability zDAC may not give reliable results.
• HP 8/40 24-ports Enabled SAN Switch • HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch All platforms operating with Fabric OS 7.0.0c must be managed with HP B-series Network Advisor 11.1.2 or later. The following platforms using Fabric OS 6.4.2a may also interoperate in a fabric with switches running Fabric OS 7.0.
1 2 All ports from a 48 port card must be assigned to a logical switch with zero-based addressing configured. They must be in a logical switch other than the default switch. Supported only in a logical switch that will not have any FICON traffic. This is for FCP traffic only.
