What’s New in This Document
The following changes have been made since this document was last released:
• Information that was added:
- Administrative Domains: If the Administrative Domain feature is enabled, the local switch
must be a member of the Administrative Domain, or the following Fabric Watch tools might
not work correctly:
- Fabric Watch commands might not work correctly. By default, AD0 and AD255 have
permanent membership, and so the Fabric Watch commands should work unless you
change the default settings. See the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for more
information on the Administrative Domains feature.
- Web Tools Fabric Watch interface will allow view-only access to all threshold
configuration and current values unless the local switch is a member of the current,
enabled Administrative Domain.
• Information that was changed or removed:
- Updated fan and temperature default threshold values for the SilkWorm 7500.
- Updated fan default threshold value for the SilkWorm 4900.
- Updated temperature default threshold values for the SilkWorm 48000.
- Minor format changes.
