◦
Support for IGMP snooping functionality on HP StorageWorks 2408 FCoE Converged
Network Switch and DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blade
•
Bottleneck Detection enhancements
Support for congestion detection on E, EX, and F-ports. This is in addition to the latency
bottleneck detection feature introduced in Fabric OS 6.3.
◦
◦
Support for bottleneck detection alerts through SNMP traps and RAS logs
◦
Support for switch-wide enablement of both latency and congestion bottleneck monitoring
•
Enhanced traffic isolation zones
Support for common devices in multiple TI zones with failover disabled or failover enabled
◦
◦
Allow devices in a failover disabled TI zone to communicate with local devices (devices
attached to the same switch) that are not part of the same TI zone
◦
Ensure that Domain Controller connectivity between switches in a fabric are not affected
by TI zone policies
•
Lossless DLS enhancements
Support for Lossless DLS with DPS (Exchange based routing)
◦
◦
Option to specify IOD (In Order Delivery) with port based and exchange based routing
policies
•
Virtual Fabrics enhancements
◦
Dynamic Area Addressing support for the Default Switch in HP StorageWorks DC SAN
Backbone and DC04 SAN Directors
•
Security enhancements
◦
Support FCAP authentication using third-party self signed certificates
•
Fabric Watch enhancements
◦
New non-menu-driven CLI Config to configure thresholds for Fabric Watch classes
•
RAS/Diagnostics/Troubleshooting Enhancements
Frame monitoring
: Ability to monitor individual frame types such as SCSI Reservation,
Basic Accept, Basic Reject, SCSI READ, SCSI Write, etc. and configure thresholds via
fmConfig and thConfig CLIs
◦
◦
Super Ping
: Enhancements to the FC ping functionality to provide more coverage of
multiple data paths that exist between a source domain and destination device
◦
Rolling Reboot Detection (RRD)
: Ability to detect unexpected continuous reboot condition
of switches
