Additional Fabric OS 5.3.0 enhancements

Page 16 highlights

Additional Fabric OS 5.3.0 enhancements Additional Fabric OS 5.3.0 enhancements include: • Provides new Fabric OS commands to rename an alias, a zone, and a zone configuration. Zone -copy copies the zone object to a new zone object. Zoneobjectrename renames the zone object. • Detects and handles a corrupted zone configuration [under /etc/fabos/zone*] gracefully instead of rebooting. The switch also logs the error in RASLog. • Adds a new command that provides both the WWN and serial number of the switch. Added an -sn option to display the serial number. For example, wwn -sn returns both the world wide name and serial number data. • Provides additional information on a faulty port in Fabric Watch to aid in troubleshooting. • Enables use of passive FTP to download firmware. • Enables the customer to specify a quality password policy that prevents the selection of passwords with consecutive, identical characters. • Uses multiple NTP servers with the tsclockserver command for redundancy. For example, if one site NTP server fails (DR scenario), there is a backup that can be reached by the switches. • Logs a RASLog message when a 2.x switch joins the fabric. • HA failover and user notification occurs on the 4/256 SAN Director when there is a failed Ethernet chip (Oscillator chip). Additional Web Tools 5.3.0 enhancements Additional Web Tools 5.3.0 enhancements include: • Individual error counters for FC ports from Port admin. • SFP TX/RX power information in DB level from Port admin from Web Tools. • Clear Counter feature to reset all counters. • Ability to clear 400 MP Router or B-Series MP Router Blade GE port Error counters using portStatsClear CLI command. 16
