Configurations Not Currently Supported
• Zoning - refers to the ability of partitioning the switch into multiple
logical SANs. This feature is currently not supported for SAN
Backup. All hosts need to see all tape drives. Shared access to tape
drives is handled by the backup application software running on each
host.
• Quickloop - also known as Emulated Public Loop (EPL); a feature
that allows a switch to emulate a hub and provide arbitrated loop
connectivity for non-public hosts or devices.
Verification of Firmware Versions
Using one of the access methods described above (serial connect, Telnet,
or web tools for the SilkWorm 2400 Switch, or the front panel, Telnet, or
web tools for the SilkWorm 2800 Switch), verify the following:
• The firmware version is at least 2.1.3
• That the switch is not in Quickloop mode
• That no zoning schemes are enabled
