Version 6.0.0b NOTE: This software conforms to the Fibre Channel Standards in a manner consistent with accepted engineering practices and procedures. Effective date February 2008 Description Fabric OS 6.0.0b integrates many new features, including: • New security features • 1 MB security database • Active Directory support (all platforms) • Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance (certification in progress with Fabric OS 6.x) • Traffic Isolation Zones • Fibre Channel over IP protocol (FCIP) • IPv6 support • VLAN tagging (FR4-18i/400 Multi-protocol Router) • Enhancements to Access Gateway • Auto port configuration policy • Port grouping and preferred N_Port failover policy • Multiple fabric support • Top Talkers (4/256 SAN Director, 4/32B SAN Switch, 4/64 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 4/32 only) Update recommendations HP strongly recommends that users upgrade to Fabric OS 6.0.0b as soon as possible. Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.0.0b is only allowed from Fabric OS 5.3.x. This is a change in policy from prior releases, where "2-level" migrations were supported. The new policy to support only "1-level" migration has been implemented to provide more reliable and robust migrations for customers. By having fewer major changes in internal databases, configurations, and subsystems, the system is able to perform the upgrade more efficiently, taking less time and ensuring a truly seamless and non-disruptive process for the fabric.

Update recommendations
HP strongly recommends that users upgrade to Fabric OS 6.0.0b as soon as possible.
Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.0.0b is only allowed from Fabric OS 5.3.x. This is a change in policy from
prior releases, where “2-level” migrations were supported. The new policy to support only “1-level”
migration has been implemented to provide more reliable and robust migrations for customers. By
having fewer major changes in internal databases, con
fi
gurations, and subsystems, the system is able to
perform the upgrade more ef
fi
ciently, taking less time and ensuring a truly seamless and non-disruptive
process for the fabric.
