HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.0.0b release notes (5697-7345, April 2008)

Additional Fabr
ic OS 6.x enhancements
Additional Fabric OS 6.x enhancements include:
• Provides new Fabric OS commands to rename an alias, a zone and a zone configuration. Zone
–copy copies th
e zone object to a new zone object. Zoneobjectrename renames the zone
object.
• Detects and handles a corrupted zone configuration [under /etc/fabos/zone*]gracefully
instead of rebooting. The switch also logs the error in RASLog.
• Adds a new comm
and that provides both the WWN (World Wide Name) and serial number
of the switch. Added an –sn option to display the serial number. For example, wwn –sn will
return both the WWN and serial number data
• Provides add
itional information on a faulty port in Fabric Watch to aid in troubleshooting.
• Enables use of passive FTP to download firmware.
• Enables the user to specify a quali ty password policy that p revents the selection of passwords
with consec
utive, identical c haracters.
• Uses multiple NTP servers with the tsclockserver command for redundancy. For example, if
one site N TP server fails (DR scenario) there is a backup that can be reached by the switches.
• Logs a RASLo
g message when a 2.x switch joins the fabric.
• HA failover and user notification oc curs on the 4/256 SAN Director when there is a failed
Ethernet chip (Oscillator chip).
