Zoning enhancement to reduce fabric congestion

In Homogeneous Fabric mode, an enhancement was added to reduce unnecessary

fabric congestion when performing fabric-wide zoning operations that impact the D efault

Zone. This enhancement limits the number of members allowed in the Default Zone to

64. When the ﬁrmware detects a zoning operation tha t would cause the member count

in the Default Zone to exceed 64 (such as deactivating an active zone set that has m ore

than 64 members), the operation is aborted and the user interface (HAFM 8.6 o r EWS)

displays the following message: Zoning request denied: Operation will

cause the Default Zone to exceed its limit of 64 members.

NOTE:

This limit is disabled when the switch parameter Sup press Zoning RSCNs on Zone set

activations check box is enabled.

Issue concerning HAFM remote client access to the HAFM appliance with

dual LAN conﬁguration

When using a single public L AN connection at the HAFM appliance for all Ethernet

communications, the single LAN connection operates correctly for the following functions:

• Directors and edge switches that the HAFM appliance manages

• Computers seeking remote client access to the HAFM appliance

• SAN m a nagement applications such as HP OpenView SAN Area Manager

When using two LAN connections (public and private) at the HAFM appliance, Microsoft

Windows a nd HAFM determine the following:

• Which L AN is to be the private LA N for communication between the H AFM

appliance, and the directors and edge switches that the HAFM appliance

manages?

• Which L AN is to be the public LAN for communication between the HAFM

appliance and computers seeking remote client access to the HAFM appliance?
