HP StorageWorks 8/80 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference Guide v6.1.0 (53-1000 - Page 306

2 interopMode In v6.0.0, when McDATA Fabric interoperability mode is turned on, the OUI portion of the switch WWN is no longer replaced with a McDATA OUI. The Brocade OUI is used. However, upgrading from Fabric OS 5.2.1_NI to Fabric OS v6.0.0 will be non-disruptive, preserving the McDATA OUI and the given interopMode. Unless the switch is taken offline, and the interopMode is changed, or the OUI is changed with the configure command, the McDATA OUI is preserved. When interoperability mode is disabled, all configuration parameters return to their default states and can be modified using the configure command. For information on supported hardware platforms and procedures regarding OS v5.2.1_NI to v6.0.0 migration, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Operands When invoked without operands, the command displays the current mode and usage. The following operands are optional: mode Specify "0" to disable interoperability mode.

Enabling or disabling the McDATA Zoning does not require a reboot. -z Default Zone Specify "1" to enable the McDATA default zone feature. Specify "0" to disable the McDATA default zone feature. -s Safe Zone Specify "1" to enable the McDATA Safe Zone feature. Specify "0" to disable the McDATA Safe Zone feature.
