Chapter 1. Fabric Watch
In the existing “Fabric Watch licensing” section, the following paragraph is incorrect:
Fabric Watch is an optionally-licensed feature of Fabric OS. Each switch within a fabric needs its
own license, and that license is valid only for a particular version of the feature. If you want a newer
version of the feature, you must purchase a new license.
This paragraph should read as follows:
Fabric Watch is a optionally-licensed feature of Fabric OS. Once you purchase a Fabric Watch
license for a platform, the license remains valid for the life of that platform and across firmware
versions that are supported on that platform.
The following is
new
licensing information and should be added as a subheading to “Fabric Watch
licensing:”
Universal temporary license support
The Fabric Watch license is available as a Universal Temporary or a regular temporary license,
meaning the same license key can be installed on any switch running Fabric OS version 6.3 or later.
Universal temporary license keys can only be installed once on a switch, but can be applied to as
many switches as required. Temporary use duration (the length of time the feature will be enabled
on a switch) is provided with the license keys.
Chapter 8. System Monitoring
The following information does not currently exist in the
Fabric Watch Administrator’s Guide
, and
will be added at the next major release of Fabric OS:
The default Fabric Watch policy for the Brocade DCX 8510-8 with total power consumption of more
than 2000w does not properly reflect the switch status on the power supply. Fabric Watch users
must manually update their default configuration for the minimum number of power supplies to
three if they have installed more than 256 ports in an 8510-8 chassis.
