14 HP StorageWorks Director release notes
Please contact your local HP technical resource if you need to obtain a new
HAFM version.
Please contact your local HP technical resource to confirm compatibility with
devices in your SAN before upgrading to this firmware version.
For more information on upgrading software versions, refer to the HP
StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide. The features of this software
version are detailed in the accompanying manuals listed in section “Other director
documentation” on page 4.
OSMS change
Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is now available as a standard
feature. OSMS can be enabled/disabled via EWS, Command Line Interface (CLI),
and HAFM.
Default zone is disabled by default
The default zone on the Director 2/64 and the Director 2/140 is disabled by
default. Zoning must be configured in order for any devices connected to the
director to communicate.
Some IP addresses must be avoided
If you use HAFM to manage other M-Series Fabric directors and edge switches,
when you select IP addresses for edge switches, directors, and for the HAFM
appliance, do not use IP addresses in the following range:
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255—This subnet is used internally to the HAFM
appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the call-home feature to
function incorrectly.
Hard zoning
Hard zoning is a security enhancement introduced in firmware 05.01.00-24 that
prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard zoning is enabled
by default when using firmware 05.01.00-24 or greater and cannot be disabled.
All HP-approved host bus adapters (HBAs) limit access to devices within their
zones, so you will not see a change in fabric behavior unless you are using
nonstandard HBAs. Hard zoning improves security against intruders that load
nonstandard HBA drivers.
