HP StorageWorks 8/80 HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.1.0h release notes (5697-7961 - Page 6

LDAP FOS 6.1 includes enhancements to LDAP allowing Active Directory server roles to be mapped to the various switch roles. Parameter added for slotshow command An optional -m parameter has been added for the slotshow command, to display Model Names for each blade installed in a DC SAN Director or 4/256 SAN Director chassis. Scripting Many automatic page breaks in CLI output for commands have been removed to better facilitate scripting. Notification of duplicate WWN entry A RASLOG entry will occur when a switch detects a duplicate WWN has logged in. Update recommendations All products supported by Fabric OS 6.0.x can be upgraded to Fabric OS 6.1.0h. If applicable, HP recommends that users upgrade to Fabric OS 6.1.0h as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the latest fixes and features. Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.1.0h is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.0.0b and later. This policy to support only one-level migration, which began with Fabric OS 6.0.0, provides 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-destructive process for the fabric. The new one-release migration policy also reduces the large number of upgrade/downgrade permutations that must be tested. Only products based on 4-Gb and 8-Gb-capable ASICs are supported by Fabric OS 6.1.0h. Older products that use previous-generation 2-Gb ASICs will remain on the 5.x code stream. Fabric OS 5.x is fully compatible in fabrics running Fabric OS 6.1, as well as for routing. For information on how to access the latest Fabric OS 6.1.0h firmware, see Firmware upgrade instructions, page 13.
