FOS v7.3 introduces firmware sync ability for the firmware on an active CP to be automatically synced to a standby CP after the standby CP is hot-plugged into a backbone switch chassis. Administrator can configure this ability on their chassis to enable quick operational replacement of a standby CP. Rolling Reboot Detection Enhancements FOS v7.3 enhances the rolling reboot detection feature to detect and stop a rolling reboot in disabled FOS switch state as a first attempt. This would enable an administrator to capture more diagnostic information. New external RASLOG for Link Reset FOS v7.3 adds a new external RASLOG (Cx-1014) for Link Reset due to credit loss for both front-end and backend ports. supportInfoClear Command FOS v7.3 introduces a new CLI command supportInfoClear to clear a number of statistics counters and logs. This command can help administrators to quickly reset the counters and logs on behalf of switch vendors in support scenarios. Brocade 8510 ICL Scalability Enhancement FOS v7.3 increases the supported number 8510 chassis connected via ICL in a core-edge topology to twelve switches. Miscellaneous Enhancements trunkShow CLI Enhancement FOS v7.3 adds to CLI trunkShow (via -swname option) to display the switch name of the neighboring switch connected on the other end of trunked ports. fabricShow CLI Enhancement FOS v7.3 adds to CLI fabricShow (via -version option) to display the firmware version of each switch listed in the fabricShow output. portShow and portName CLI Enhancement FOS v7.3 enhances the CLI portShow and portName to display as port name the host name registered with FDMI for the host system attached to that port. Administrators must enable the "Display FDMI Host Name" configuration via the configure CLI. fspfShow and lsdbShow CLI Enhancement FOS v7.3 changes fspfShow and lsdbShow CLI output to omit all zero value to be listed in port bitmap values. Device Probing and Update on ALPA 0xC0 and 0x40 FOS v7.3 enhances FCP probing for devices connected to a port with ALPA 0xC0 and 0x40 to obtain the device information for NS entry. For base devices that logged in with ALPA 0xC0 and 0x40, FOS v7.3 provides the ability to update NS entries when these base devices perform logout. Administrators can turn on this update mode to ensure NS and login database consistency with "F-port Device Update Mode" option under the "Fabric parameters" section of the configure CLI. This option can only be changed when a switch is disabled. NPIV Base Device Logout Enhancements FOS v7.3 enhances NPIV by allowing NPIV devices remain logged in on a port to a fabric when the base device on the same port performs a logout. Administrator can configure this feature via the portCfgFlogiLogout CLI. Fabric OS v7.3.0a Release Notes v2.0 Page 13 of 55
