later (HP did not support
6.1.2c or 6.2.0c)
•
If version 6.2.0d was installed in the
factory, the default setting is mode 1 for
the internal ports and mode 0 for the
external ports. The setting can be changed
by the user on a port-by-port basis and will
be persistent. Upgrading to a 6.3.0x

and external ports is mode 0. The setting
can be changed by the user on a
port-by-port basis and will be persistent.
Upgrading to one of the versions in the

mode settings.
The default setting for all ports is mode 0,
regardless of what Fabric OS version was
previously installed. However, ports previously
set to mode 1 by the user via the
portcfgfillword
command are persistent,
and will therefore remain at mode 1 after
Fabric OS upgrade.

be persistent. Upgrading to a version later

and external ports is mode 0. The setting
can be changed by the user on a
port-by-port basis and will be persistent.

described below. The default setting for all
ports is mode 0, regardless of what Fabric
OS version was previously installed.
However, ports previously set to mode 1 by
the user via the
portcfgfillword
command are persistent, and will therefore
remain at mode 1 after Fabric OS upgrade.
