HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.0.1a release notes (AA-RWFMA-TE, June 2008)

Ad ditional 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
ezoneobjecttoanewzoneobject. 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 and serial number of the switch. Added
an –sn option to display the serial number. For example, wwn –sn will return both the world
wide name 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 customer to specif y a quality password policy that prevents the selection of passwords
with consec
utive, identical characters.
• Uses multiple NTP servers with the tsclockserver command for redundancy. For example, if
one site NTP server fails (DR scenario) there is a backup that can be reached by the switches.
• Logs a RASLo
g message when a 2.x sw itch joins the fabric.
• HA failover and user notification occurs on the 4/256 SAN Director when there is a failed
Ethernet chip (Oscillator chip).
