Support for Switch Admin Module The Mozilla browser does not support the Switch Admin module properly in Fabric OS v2.6.x. In Fabric OS v2.6.2, a warning message is displayed. No warning message is displayed in other 2.6.x versions.

(recommended) 1.3.1_04 or 1.4.1_02 (recommended) The additional supported browsers, operating systems, and Java Plug-ins introduce limitations when using mixed OS versions in Advanced Web Tools v3.1.2.

system. See Table 1 supported browsers. When you are running Fabric View, the browser may crash. Workaround: Use a launch switch that runs Fabric OS versions v2.6.1, v3.0.x, or v4.0.x or later so that you can use Switch Explorer (instead of Fabric View). 10 SAN Switch 2/16 Fabric OS 3.1.2 Release - HP StorageWorks 16-EL | HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 Fabric OS V3.1.2 Release - Page 11

Other options allow the collection of information on the reverse path or on a user-selected path (source route). 12 SAN Switch 2/16 - HP StorageWorks 16-EL | HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 Fabric OS V3.1.2 Release - Page 13
They are reported below the routing information, separated into input port statistics and output port statistics. For each port, they are further separated into transmit and receive statistics. default value for the maximum hop count is 25.

Therefore, the path might be different from the one the actual traffic will take from source to destination. 14 SAN Switch 2/16 Fabric OS 3.1.2 Release Notes - HP StorageWorks 16-EL | HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 Fabric OS V3.1.2 Release - Page 15
