Uncheck Interpolate missing statistics, then click Apply. Stop the Fabric Manager Server. Save the data file in the $INSTALL_DIR directory. Move the old RRD file into the $INSTALL_DIR/pm/db directory. Run $INSTALL_DIR/bin/pm.bat m. Restart Fabric Manager Server. Maximum Number of Zones Supported in Interop Mode 4 In interop mode 4, the maximum number of zones that is supported in an active zone set is 2047, due to limitations in the connected vendor switch. When IVR is used in interop mode 4, the maximum number of zones supported, including IVR zones, in the active zone set is 2047. InterVSAN Routing When using InterVSAN Routing (IVR), it is recommended to enable Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) on all IVR-enabled switches. Failure to do so may cause mismatched active zone sets if an error occurs during zone set activation. Java Web Start When using Java Web Start, it is recommended that you do not use an HTML cache or proxy server. You can use the Java Web Start Preferences panel to view or edit the proxy configuration. To do this, launch the Application Manager, either by clicking the desktop icon (Microsoft Windows), or type ./javaws in the Java Web Start installation directory (Solaris Operating Environment and Linux), and then select Edit> Preferences. If you fail to change these settings, you may encounter installation issues regarding a version mismatch. If this occurs, you should clear your Java cache and retry.
