Cable Requirements Cable Requirements IMPORTANT: Please note that optical cables for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 must be ordered 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 short-wave optical transceiver modules in a switch. Single-mode optical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver modules in a switch.
Known Issues HSG80 Transparent Mode Not Recommended with Controller in SCSI-3 Mode with HP-UX Operating Systems Due to an issue with non-existent duplicate LUNs being displayed with the HP-UX operating systems, the HSG80 controller is restricted to SCSI-2 mode of operation when set to Transparent failover mode. SCSI-3 mode of operation in Multibus failover mode is fully supported with the use of Secure Path software, Version 3.0. Workaround None.
Known Issues Using the Same Firmware All switches and directors managed by HAFM should have the same FW level installed—whether 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps capable. Reinstalling Feature Licenses Feature Licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on a director to regain use of the licensed features (e.g., SANtegrity).
Known Issues Ports May Accumulate Spurious Events A port may accumulate “Invalid transmission word” and “Bit-Error Threshold Link Incident” events when a transceiver is poorly seated resulting in a poor ground connection. Workaround Reseating the optical transceiver will correct the problem. Director Properties Description May Be Incorrect The text shown in the Description field of the Director Properties panel for the Director 2/140 may be incorrect. It may show SAN Director 64.
