Additional Fabric OS 6.x enhancements Additional Fabric OS 6.x 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 will return 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).
