TI zone misconfiguration
Supported configurations for Traffic Isolation
Note the following configuration rules for TI zones:
Traffic Isolation is supported only on the HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN
Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 4/32B, and 400 Multi-protocol Router, 4/256 SAN
Director and DC SAN Backbone Director (short name, DC Director), all configured in Brocade Native
Mode (interopmode 0).
Traffic Isolation has limited support for FICON FCIP in McDATA Fabric Mode (interopmode 2), in the
following configuration only:
NOTE:
At the time of this document’s release, HP does not support McDATA Fabric Mode (interopmode
2).
400 Multi-protocol Router with E_Port connections to an M-switch and VE_Port connections to
another 400 Multi-protocol Router.
Devices attached to M-switch only.
Traffic Isolation is not supported in fabrics configured in Open Fabric Mode (interopmode 3).
Limited USD-X replacement support for FICON FCIP in McDATA Fabric Mode.
400 Multi-protocol Router (platform specific) with E-port connections to an M-switch and VE-port
connections to another 400 Multi-protocol Router.
Devices attached to M-switch only.
This feature is not supported in fabrics configured in any interopMode except for a predefined FICON
FCIP configuration in McDATA Fabric Mode.
VE_Ports are supported in TI zones.
FCR does not support Traffic Isolation.
Ports in a TI zone must belong to switches that run Fabric OS v6.0 or later.
Traffic Isolation is not supported in fabrics with switches running firmware versions earlier than Fabric
OS 6.0. However, the existence of a TI zone in such a fabric is backward compatible and does not
disrupt fabric operation in switches running earlier firmware versions.
