Figure 24 TI zone misconfiguration

Supported configurations for Traffic Isolation

Note the following configuration rules for TI zones:

• Traffic Isolation is supported only on the HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN

Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 4/32B, and 400 Multi-protocol Router, 4/256 SAN

Director and DC SAN Backbone Director (short name, DC Director), all configured in Brocade Native

Mode (interopmode 0).

• Traffic Isolation has limited support for FICON FCIP in McDATA Fabric Mode (interopmode 2), in the

following configuration only:

NOTE: At the time of this document’s release, HP does not support McDATA Fabric Mode (interopmode

2).

• 400 Multi-protocol Router with E_Port connections to an M-switch and VE_Port connections to

another 400 Multi-protocol Router.

• Devices attached to M-switch only.

• Traffic Isolation is not supported in fabrics configured in Open Fabric Mode (interopmode 3).

• Limited USD-X replacement support for FICON FCIP in McDATA Fabric Mode.

• 400 Multi-protocol Router (platform specific) with E-port connections to an M-switch and VE-port

connections to another 400 Multi-protocol Router.

• Devices attached to M-switch only.

This feature is not supported in fabrics configured in any interopMode except for a predefined FICON

FCIP configuration in McDATA Fabric Mode.

• VE_Ports are supported in TI zones.

• FCR does not support Traffic Isolation.

• Ports in a TI zone must belong to switches that run Fabric OS v6.0 or later.

• Traffic Isolation is not supported in fabrics with switches running firmware versions earlier than Fabric

OS 6.0. However, the existence of a TI zone in such a fabric is backward compatible and does not

disrupt fabric operation in switches running earlier firmware versions.
