Cable requirem

ents

NOTE:

Optical cables for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 must be order ed separately.

For cables measuring up to 500 meters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gbps), use multi-mode

Fibre Channel cables. For longer cables, use single-mode Fibre Channel cables.

Multi-mode optical cables are connected to shor t-wave optical transceiver modules in

a switch. Single-mode optical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver

modules in a switch. Multi-mode cables should use 50/125 optical ﬁbers, and

single-mode cables t ypically use 9/125 optical ﬁbers for distances up to 10 km.

Verify that c onnectors interfacing with the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 use LC

Duplex connectors with a PC ﬁnish. In addition, the connector a t the opposite end

of the c able must be of either LC or SC type, depending on the requirements of the

connected device.

Minor Code Enhancements and Fixes in fw 07.01.02-4

This release of ﬁrmware version 07.01.02-4 incorporates some minor code enhancements

and ﬁxes, and is not a manda tor y upgrade, though HP recommends that all directors

and e dge switches be upgraded to this version of ﬁrmware. Firmwar e release 0 7.01.0 2-4

is based on ﬁrmware 07.00.00-84 , and contains all ﬁxes included in that version and

prior releases. The following are now incorporated in ﬁrmware version 0 7.01.02-4.

Directors take n ew action upon detecting a failed UPM port mo dule

A particular type of failure in director UPM port modules could be disruptive to other

port mod ules in a director. In the release of ﬁ rmware 07.01.02-4, the action taken by

the director upon detecting this type of failure was changed to power off the failed port

module to prevent it from affecting other working port modules.

Embedded Web Ser ver zoneset activation timeout issue resolved

Under cer tain conditions, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) would sometimes not allow

theZoneManagersubsystemenoughtimetoprocessaconﬁguration change request.

This would cause EWS to time out when waiting for the Zone Manager to respond.

When this occurred, the Zone Manager could hang indeﬁnitely, preventing any further

zone activities from any management location. This timeout issue has been ﬁxed.
