WebTools compatibility, FOS feature compatibility in native connectivity modes

Page 20 highlights

• M-EOS-based platforms must operate with M-EOS 9.8.1 or later for McDATA Fabric Mode (interopmode 2), or M-EOS 9.9.0 or later for Open Fabric Mode (interopmode 3). WebTools compatibility • FOS 6.3 is supported with JRE 1.6.0 Update 13. • If the JRE 1.6.0 version is not Update 13, the DCFM server/client and B-series Element Manager (WebTools) crashes on launch. • WebTools tunnel and TCP graphs support tool tips only for the first enabled TCP connection graph. FOS feature compatibility in native connectivity modes Some FOS features are not fully supported when operating in the native connectivity modes for deployment with M-EOS-based products. All HP StorageWorks models supported by FOS 6.3.0x support both interopmodes 2 and 3, with the exception of the 4/32 SAN Switch, 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch, and DC SAN Backbone Director or DC04 SAN Director with one or more DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blades. NOTE: HP may not support all of these switches in this mode. For information about support in interopmodes 2 and 3, see HP StorageWorks Merging Fabrics Based on M-Series and B-Series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes, available at http://www.hp.com.

M-EOS-based platforms must operate with M-EOS 9.8.1 or later for McDATA Fabric Mode (in-
teropmode 2), or M-EOS 9.9.0 or later for Open Fabric Mode (interopmode 3).
WebTools compatibility
FOS 6.3 is supported with JRE 1.6.0 Update 13.
If the JRE 1.6.0 version is not Update 13, the DCFM server/client and B-series Element Manager
(WebTools) crashes on launch.
WebTools tunnel and TCP graphs support tool tips only for the first enabled TCP connection graph.
FOS feature compatibility in native connectivity modes
Some FOS features are not fully supported when operating in the native connectivity modes for
deployment with M-EOS-based products. All HP StorageWorks models supported by FOS 6.3.0x
support both interopmodes 2 and 3, with the exception of the 4/32 SAN Switch, 2408 FCoE
Converged Network Switch, and DC SAN Backbone Director or DC04 SAN Director with one or
more DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blades.
NOTE:
HP may not support all of these switches in this mode. For information about support in interopmodes
2 and 3, see
