HP StorageWorks Fabric OS V3.1.3A Release Notes (AA-RUQYC-TE, September 2004)

Important Notes
20 Fabric OS 3.1.3a Release Notes
License removal When a user removes a license from the switch, the feature is not
disabled until the switch is rebooted or a switch disable or enable is
performed.
Security: PKICERT
utility, CSR syntax
Before using the PKICERT utility to prepare a certificate signing
request (CSR), ensure that there are no spaces in the switch names of
any switches in the fabric. The web site that processes the CSRs and
generates the digital certificates does not accept switch names
containing spaces; CSRs that do not conform to this requirement are
rejected.
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.
