Serviceability Traffic Isolation Zones Virtual Fabrics • If a port card is removed from a system with Virtual Fabrics enabled and replaced by a port card with fewer ports, the missing ports will not be able to be removed, which results in configuration change problems. To prevent this, the ports should be removed from the Logical Switch to which they are assigned prior to the card being removed. • Performance of optical links depends upon the cleanliness of the cables and connectors, especially at 8 Gb/sec or higher speeds. Consult with your switch and cable vendors for proper cable maintainence. • Enable Lossless DLS when activating Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones to avoid any traffic disruption. • Beginning with the FOS 6.2.0e release, Traffic Isolation (TI) Zoning with FICON now supports enabling or disabling of the failover option. Assistance from service support should be sought before attempting to enable this feature. Virtual Fabric (VF) is supported in FICON environments beginning with FOS 6.2.0e. Execute fosconfig -show to check if VF is enabled. Using DCFM to disable VF can result in empty message boxes. Web Tools functionality moved to DCFM The functionality that was moved from Web tools in 6.1.1 to DCFM applies to both DCFM Professional and DCFM Enterprise and also applies to 6.2.x.
