NOTE: See the appropriate manufacturer's switch streams for information on which specific versions of firmware are currently supported. Zoning and fabric operations When configuring zoning or other fabric-wide settings in a fabric that has products operating with different versions of Fabric OS, HP recommends that you perform the configuration through an interface (such as Web Tools) to a product with the most recent version of Fabric OS. Some older versions of Fabric OS do not fully support newer hardware models, and problems may arise when configuring settings through these older products. NOTE: Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that has products operating with later versions of Fabric OS. Prerequisites Table 1 (page 15) lists the supported Fabric OS firmware versions. HP recommends using the latest supported firmware versions to get the greatest benefit from the SAN. For a list of retired products, see the HP website: http://www.hp.com IMPORTANT: The Fabric OS versions listed in the Earliest compatible version column in Table 1 (page 15) are the earliest versions supported by HP for connection to switches running Fabric OS 6.4.1b at the time of that release. 14

Zoning and fabric operations
When configuring zoning or other fabric-wide settings in a fabric that has products operating with
different versions of Fabric OS, HP recommends that you perform the configuration through an
interface (such as Web Tools) to a product with the most recent version of Fabric OS. Some older
versions of Fabric OS do not fully support newer hardware models, and problems may arise when
configuring settings through these older products.
NOTE:
Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that
has products operating with later versions of Fabric OS.
Prerequisites
Table 1 (page 15)

supported firmware versions to get the greatest benefit from the SAN.
