Important Notes Limitations Using Mixed OS Versions Table 2 lists possible limitations when running different OS versions. Table 2: Limitations Using Mixed OS Versions (Continued) Launch Switch Environment Firmware: Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x Operating System: Any supported operating system (with supported browser) Browser: Any supported browser (on a supported operating system) Firmware: Earlier than Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x Operating System: Solaris Browser: Netscape Firmware: Earlier than Fabric OS v2.6.1, v3.0.x, or v4.0.x Operating System: Windows Browser: Internet Explorer Issue and Workaround The Name Server table does not display properly for a switch running firmware versions earlier than Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x. Workaround: If Secure mode is enabled, select a switch running Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x or later as the primary FCS switch. If Secure mode is not enabled, use a launch switch running Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x or later to access the Name Server table on the switch. Any switches running Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x or later are unsupported through Netscape. Workaround: Netscape is not a supported browser for switches running Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x or later. Use Mozilla browser to manage all of your switches from a Solaris operating system. See Table 1 for supported browsers. When you are running Fabric View, the browser crashes. 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). 12 SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N Fabric OS 4.2.x Release Notes
