SAN switch 2/32 version 4.0.2b release notes

Updating the Core Switch PID Format
48 SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes
Command Summary
■ syslogdipadd—Add the IP address of the remote syslogd host to the
switch.
■ syslogdipremove—Remove the IP address of the remote syslogd
daemon.
■ syslogdipshow—Show the list of configured syslogd IP addresses.
■ errshow—Display messages from the error log on the switch.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format
Updating the Core Switch PID Format is necessary when upgrading an existing
SAN to support larger port-count switches. When a switch with more than sixteen
ports is introduced into an existing fabric, this parameter needs to be set on all
switches in the fabric.
Note: HP always recommends redundant fabrics and multi-pathing software for
uptime-sensitive environments. If a redundant SAN architecture is in place, the Core PID
update can take place without application downtime. To ensure maximum ease of
administration, this parameter can and should be proactively set on a fabric before it
ever enters production, whether or not an upgrade to larger switches is planned.
Updating Procedure
This process should be executed as part of either the online or offline update
processes when updating an existing fabric. However, it may be implemented in a
stand-alone manner on a non-production fabric, or a switch that has not yet joined
a fabric.
Before executing this procedure, ensure that all switches in the fabric are running
Fabric OS versions that support the new addressing mode. HP recommends the
following:
■ Version 2.6.0c or higher for 1 Gbps Switches
■ Version 3.0.2c or higher for 2 Gbps SAN Switches
■ Version 4.0.2b or higher for 2 Gbps Core Switches
