On page 132, the following text should be added to the "Creating and Modifying Zoning Configurations" section: When enabling a new zone configuration, you must ensure that the size of the configuration does not exceed the minimum size supported by all switches in the fabric. This is particularly important if and when you downgrade to a Fabric OS version that supports a smaller zone database than the current Fabric OS version. In this scenario, the zone database in the current Fabric OS version would have to be changed to the smaller zone database before the downgrade. You can use the cfgSize command to check both the maximum available size and the currently saved size on all switches. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x command reference guide for details on the cfgSize command. If you believe you are approaching the maximum, you can save a partially completed zoning configuration and use the cfgSize command to determine the remaining space." HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x features overview, part number: AA-RVHTA-TE On page 26 in the first paragraph, replace the following text: Cable lengths for participating links should differ no more than 30 meters. With this text: Cable lengths for participating links should differ no more than 550 meters. For optimal performance, HP recommends a difference no greater than 30 meters.
