Release Notes hp StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) and FabricWare 2.1(3) This document provides additional information about the MDS 9020 Fabric Switch, the MDS 9100 Series Fabric Switches, the MDS 9200 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches, and the MDS 9500 Series Multilayer - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 2
the only method. Consult the appropriate Cisco MDS release notes for instructions on how to determine the current SAN-OS or FabricWare version on your switch. HP strongly recommends upgrading all fabric switches to the latest supported SAN-OS and FabricWare versions. All switches in the SAN must be - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 3
for information on supported versions and configurations. Hardware Components The following Cisco MDS 9000 Family hardware components are not supported by HP: • Cache Services Module (CSM) • Advanced Services Module (ASM) 3 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 4

can be managed with the command-line interface (CLI) or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The graphical user interfaces (GUI) used to manage all C-Series switches is Cisco Fabric Manager and Cisco Device Manager. 5 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 6
will ensure a safe bending radius on all fibre channel cables. This is especially pertinent in high port density (Director) installations. Please consult the relevant Cisco Hardware Installation Guide for further information. 6 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 7

N-port ID virtualization (NPIV) to receive multiple FCIDs allocated from the core switch on the NP port. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide for instructions on how to configure NPV. In addition to being supported in Cisco fabrics, NPV is supported for connectivity to B-Series and - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 11
mezzanine HBAs with Virtual Connect on the same C-Series switch with its target on the same switch/VSAN, NPIV addresses are limited to 256. To scale beyond 256 addresses, for proper operation the C-Series switch commands below must be executed on the VSAN to which VC-FC is connected. Note: If Qlogic - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 12
and switches that include MSM-18/4 modules must be running SAN-OS Release 3.2(3) software or newer For additional information on how to install SME refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Storage Media Encryption Configuration Guide. 12 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 13
that support shared tape library options. If this issue is encountered, disable the feature.

MDS 9124 Fabric Switch The MDS 9124 switches have fixed configurations with 8, 16, and 24 full rate 4-Gbps fibre channel ports. The 8 and 16 port switches can be upgraded in 8 port increments with a software expansion license. 15 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 16

Description: VMware ESX on HP c-Class BladeSystem Server Blade using QMH2462 HBAs and FC Pass-Thru Module logs into the MDS 9020 as an FL port if the switch port mode is set to auto. Workaround: Set the switch port mode to F. 19 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes - HP Cisco Nexus 5000 | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 20
This message can be ignored. Workaround: Ignore the erroneous FCIP license message. FCIP is bundled with the embedded ports on the MDS 9222i. Note: Refer to the Cisco MDS release notes for a full list of open and closed caveats. 20 MDS Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes
