•
Bottleneck Detection enhancements
•
Support for congestion detection on E, EX, and F-ports. This is in addition to the latency bottle-
neck 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 Back-
bone 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
•
N_Port Trunking support for Brocade HBAs
:
•
Used in conjunction with Brocade HBAs with Fabric OS 2.3.0 (and later) software to allow
two physical 8 Gb/s links to be combined into a single logical 16 Gb/s link.
•
Requires Brocade Trunking and SAO licenses to be installed on the Fabric OS-based switch
to which the Brocade HBA is connected.
•
DCBX Application Protocol Type Length Values (TLV) support
:
•
Enables priority mapping and announcement of support for this mapping to attached devices
for iSCSI protocol traffic over DCB links on the HP StorageWorks 2408 FCoE Converged
Network Switch (Brocade 8000).
