HP B-series Fabric OS 7.0.2d Release Notes (5697-2822, August 2013--includes all 7.0.x versions)

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.

NOTE: Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that

has products operating with later versions of Fabric OS.

Prerequisites

Table 1 (page 13) lists the supported Fabric OS firmware versions. HP recommends using the latest
