HP StorageWorks 8/80 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference Manual v6.2.0 (53-100 - Page 384

2 interopMode • Default zoning should be off, but there is no check that it is turned off. The configuration is reset. If you have a defined or effective configuration and default zoning is on, when you disable the switch and change to McDATA Open Fabric mode, you are informed that all configurations will be lost and that the system will reboot. Responding "yes" puts the system in McDATA Open Fabric mode with default zoning and safe zoning turned off. In v6.0.0 or later, 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 or later 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.x migration, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" 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. Specify "2" to enable McDATA Fabric mode. Specify "3" to enable McDATA Open Fabric mode Use the following operands to set McDATA zoning features. These features are available only in McDATA Fabric Mode (interopMode 2): McDATA Default Zone and McDATA Safe Zone are fabric-wide features. If one of these features is enabled on one switch, it has to be enabled on all other switches. Otherwise the E_Port is segmented. 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.
