Table 6 Fabric OS area information (continued) Fabric OS Area Description Security: SLAP fail counter and two switches The SLAP counter is designed to work when all the switches in the fabric are in secure mode. All the switches in the fabric must be in secure mode for accurate SLAP statistics. Security: SSH login To properly connect SSH login, wait for secure mode to complete before rebooting or performing HA failover on the Core Switch 2/64 or SAN Director 2/128. If secure mode is enabled and a reboot occurs before secure mode completes, SSH login will not connect and will go to the wrong MAC address because the active CP changes after an HA failover. Support Fabric OS 4.4.0b users should run the supportSave command instead of, or in addition to, the supportShow command. Doing so gathers additional switch details and sends by FTP all files to a customer server. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x procedures user guide for instructions on setting up FTP services. Trace dump Fabric OS 4.4.0b users should set up automatic FTP trace dump transfers to customer FTP servers. Doing so will minimize trace dump overwrites. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x procedures user guide for instructions on setting up FTP services. Trunking You can disable or enable trunking using the switchCfgTrunk or portCfgTrunk commands. When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the ports for which the configuration applies are disabled and reenabled with the new trunking configuration (as a result, traffic through those ports could be disrupted.) Upgrading to Fabric OS Recommended upgrade procedures to Fabric OS 4.4.0b include the 4.4.0b following: Before loading version 4.4.0b: • Run configupload to create a backup configuration, if the user wants to return to version 4.2.x. • Run supportShow to capture the previous error logs in version 4.2.x. • Run chassisName to change the default factory configuration to a more meaningful name. After loading Fabric OS 4.4.0b, see "Logging, supportFTP," earlier in this table. Fabric OS 4.4.0f release notes 23

Fabric OS 4.4.0f release notes
Security: SLAP fail
counter and two
switches
The SLAP counter is designed to work when all the switches in the fabric are
in secure mode. All the switches in the fabric must be in secure mode for
accurate SLAP statistics.
Security: SSH login
To properly connect SSH login, wait for secure mode to complete before
rebooting or performing HA failover on the Core Switch 2/64 or SAN
Director 2/128. If secure mode is enabled and a reboot occurs before
secure mode completes, SSH login will not connect and will go to the wrong
MAC address because the active CP changes after an HA failover.
Support
Fabric OS 4.4.0b users should run the
supportSave
command instead
of, or in addition to, the
supportShow
command. Doing so gathers
additional switch details and sends by FTP all files to a customer server.
Refer to the
HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x procedures user guide
for
instructions on setting up FTP services.
Trace dump
Fabric OS 4.4.0b users should set up automatic FTP trace dump transfers to
customer FTP servers. Doing so will minimize trace dump overwrites. Refer
to the
HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x procedures user guide
for
instructions on setting up FTP services.
Trunking
You can disable or enable trunking using the
switchCfgTrunk
or
portCfgTrunk
commands. When the command is executed to update the
trunking configuration, the ports for which the configuration applies are
disabled and reenabled with the new trunking configuration (as a result,
traffic through those ports could be disrupted.)
