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 through 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:
Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that 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 versions to get the greatest benefit from the SAN.
