Switch icon colors For switches running Fabric OS 2.6.1e, the switch icons in Fabric Manager might not change color correctly during status changes, particularly when changing from a healthy state (green) to a user-induced disabled state (yellow). Missing switches in Fabric Manager Various anomalies occur when there are missing switches in a fabric. Workaround: Delete switches with the "missing" status and refresh the fabric. You need to take a new baseline for Change Management to avoid notifications regarding ISL changes in the fabric after the missing switch is removed from Fabric Manager. XPath OS Meta SANs In an XPath OS meta SAN environment with 1500 LSAN zones or more, Fabric Manager might fail to retrieve LSAN information. When you launch FCR Info view for a large meta SAN, Fabric Manager might show an error if the LSAN information cannot be retrieved. Workaround: Use the CLI commands lsanzoneshow, fcrproxydevshow, and fcrphydevshow to view the LSAN information. Uninstalling Fabric Manager After uninstalling Fabric Manager, please check if the Fabric Manager installation folder still exists on the host. If it still exists, then manually delete it. Compatibility/interoperability For detailed information about Fibre Channel standards, go to http://www.t11.org. Fabric Manager 5.2.0a conforms to the following Fibre Channel standards in a manner consistent with accepted engineering practices and procedures. In certain cases, additional proprietary supplemental functions may be added to those specified in the standards. • FC-FLA NCIT S TR-20: 1998 • FC-FG ANSI X3.289: 1996 • FC-FS Rev 1.7 • FC-PH ANSI X3.230: 1994 • FC-PH-2 ANSI X3.297: 1997 • FC-PH-3 ANSI X3.303: 1998 • FC-SW-2 Rev 4.9 • FC-MI Rev 1.92 • FCP-2 10
