Documentation Updates

This section provides information on last-minute additions or corrections to the

documentation.

Zoning: license To use Zoning in a non-RCS (reliable commit service) mode fabric (that is,

in a fabric containing switches with firmware versions other than v2.6.x,

v3.1, and v4.1), HP recommends that all appropriate Zoning licenses be

installed on all the switches in the fabric before attempting to bring a switch

in to the fabric.

If the Zoning license is to be removed, the user must make sure it is

reinstalled properly on the affected switch before attempting the

cfgenable Zoning operation.

Failure to follow these steps can cause inconsistency of Zoning configuration

on the affected switches if a Zoning operation is attempted from a remote

switch in the fabric. On the affected switches, an error message appears on

the console or Telnet session (or by issuing the errShow or errDump

command), indicating that the Zoning license is missing.

Zoning: domain ID Domain 0 in a Zoning configuration file is invalid but was not previously

enforced.

Workaround: Prior to upgrading a switch to Fabric OS v4.2.x, ensure that

the fabric's Zoning configuration does not contain domain ID 0, which is

used for Zoning. This is specific only to 4.x switches.
