M-EOS 9.9.5 is the minimum version that is supported for interoperability with Fabric OS 6.3. For information about HP support of interoperable fabrics, see HP StorageWorks Merging Fabrics Based on M-series and B-series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes, available at http://www.hp.com. 4 When routing to an M-EOS edge fabric using frame redirection, the fabric must have a Fabric OS-based product in order to configure the frame redirection zone information. 5 When directly attached to a host or target that is part of an encryption flow. 6 Products operating with Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.3.1b or 6.1.0e cannot participate in a logical fabric that is using XISLs (in the base fabric). 7 These platforms cannot be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows. 8 SANRouters 1620 and 2640 should not be used with XPath or Fabric OS-based routing (FCR) for connections to the same edge fabric. 9 Fabric Manager is not supported with Fabric OS 6.3.x and later. 4/256 SAN Director blade support Fabric OS 6.4.0c is fully qualified and supports only the Director blades listed in Table 2.
