User Roles In SAN-OS Release 3.3(x) and earlier, when a user belongs to a role which has a VSAN policy set to Deny and the role allows access to a specific set of VSANs (for example, 1 through 10), the user is restricted from performing the configuration, clear, execute, and debug commands which had a VSAN parameter outside this specified set. Beginning with NX-OS Release 4.1(1b), these users are still prevented from performing configuration, clear, execute, and debug commands as before, however, they are allowed to perform show commands for all VSANs. This addresses the following: 1. In a network environment, users often need to view information in other VSANs even though they do not have permission to modify configurations in those VSANs. 2. This makes the Cisco MDS behavior consistent with other Cisco products such as Nexus 7000 which exhibits the same behavior for those roles (when they apply to the VLAN policy). Data Mobility Manager For a storage-based Data Mobility Manager (DMM) job that is in the Scheduled state, if the server HBA port goes offline, then the scheduled DMM job will not start. Scheduled DMM jobs start only when all server HBA ports and storage ports are up. For scheduled DMM jobs, make sure all server HBA ports and storage ports (both existing and new storage) are up.

IPv6
The management port on Cisco MDS switches supports one user-configured IPv6 address, but does not
support auto-configuration of an IPv6 address.
User Roles
In SAN-OS Release 3.3(x) and earlier, when a user belongs to a role which has a VSAN policy set to
Deny and the role allows access to a specific set of VSANs (for example, 1 through 10), the user is
restricted from performing the
configuration
,
clear
,
execute
, and
debug
commands which had a VSAN
parameter outside this specified set. Beginning with NX-OS Release 4.1(1b), these users are still
prevented from performing
configuration
,
clear
,
execute
, and
debug
commands as before, however,
they are allowed to perform
show
commands for all VSANs. This addresses the following:
1.
In a network environment, users often need to view information in other VSANs even though they
do not have permission to modify configurations in those VSANs.
2.
This makes the Cisco MDS behavior consistent with other Cisco products such as Nexus 7000 which
exhibits the same behavior for those roles (when they apply to the VLAN policy).
Data Mobility Manager
For a storage-based Data Mobility Manager (DMM) job that is in the Scheduled state, if the server HBA
port goes offline, then the scheduled DMM job will not start. Scheduled DMM jobs start only when all
server HBA ports and storage ports are up. For scheduled DMM jobs, make sure all server HBA ports
and storage ports (both existing and new storage) are up.
