Limitations and Restrictions Send documentation comments to [email protected]. Limitations and Restrictions This section lists the limitations and restrictions for this release. Using SAN Device Virtualization on Cisco Fabric Switches There must be at least one SAN device virtualization-enabled switch that is not a Cisco MDS 9124 switch, a Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, or a Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter between the server and the target that are being virtualized. In other words, SAN device virtualization does not work when initiators and primary targets are connected to the same Cisco MDS 9124 Switch or Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem or Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter. Interface Names on Cisco Fabric Switches and Interface Based Zoning The Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter use different Fibre Channel interface names than those used on MDS 9000 Family switches. Interface names are used in many operations, including domain interface zoning. Note The Cisco Fabric Manager does not support using a port picker for configuring domain interface zoning for the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter. You must enter the bay or ext interface name formats manually. Table 8 shows the mapping between the internal interface names and the displayed interface names on the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter to the displayed interface names.
