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 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 are the earliest versions supported by HP for connection to switches running Fabric OS 7.0.0a at the time of release.
