HP StorageWorks 8/80 HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.0b release notes (5697-0352 - Page 12

Secure Fabric OS feature not compatible with Fabric OS 6.x and later Fabric OS 5.3.x is the last Fabric OS version which was compatible with SFOS. However, all of the security features of SFOS have been fully integrated into the base Fabric OS, starting with Fabric OS 5.3.x. Zoning and fabric operations When configuring zoning or other fabric-wide settings in a fabric that has products operating with different versions of Fabric OS, HP recommends that you perform the configuration via an interface (such as Web Tools) to a product with the most recent version of Fabric OS. Some older versions of Fabric OS do not fully support newer hardware models, and problems may arise when configuring settings through these older products. NOTE: Never perform a zoning configuration through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that also has products operating with newer versions of Fabric OS. Prerequisites Table 1 lists the supported Fabric OS firmware versions. HP recommends using the latest supported firmware release versions to get the greatest benefit from the SAN. For a list of retired products, see the HP website: http://www.hp.com IMPORTANT: The Fabric OS versions listed in the Earliest compatible version column in Table 1 are the earliest versions supported by HP at the time of the Fabric OS 6.2.0b release.
