Security-related enhancement A new role-based access control role, switch administrator, allows an administrator to control a switch but not modify any fabric-wide configuration, that is, security, zoning, or user configuration (see the userConfig command). Merging zones Before linking two switches together, it is important to know the zone database limit of adjacent switches. For details, refer to the section "Merging Zones," in the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Important notes The following sections list important notes. Obtaining a PKI Certificate for Secure Fabric OS For information on activating Secure Fabric OS go to the following HP website: http://www.hp.com/storage/go/secureos Also, you may refer to the Secure Fabric OS Administrator's Guide, Chapter 2, "Preparing the Fabric for Secure Fabric OS," for specific procedures. Non-default operands The use of non-default operands for diagnostic commands is recommended for advanced users and field support only. Need to turn traps on manually The SilkWorm and FA traps in pre-Fabric OS 4.4.0 code were turned on and off as a group; and it wasn't possible to set individual SilkWorm or FA traps. In 4.4.0 the ability to turn traps on and off individually was added. That means that individual traps need to be turned on explicitly after the corresponding trap group is turned on. After the upgrade from Fabric OS 4.2.0 firmware, individual traps are turned off by default even if the corresponding trap group was turned on before the upgrade. Therefore, if you have been previously monitoring these traps, you need to use either snmpMibCapSet or the newer snmpconfig command to turn the desired traps on individually. The default setting is for all traps is Disabled. Zoning With AUDIT logging enabled, while performing zoning changes through the CLI, an additional audit log from HTTP may also appear along with the audit logs from zoning. This message does not always appear, and when it does, it represents redundant reporting by the CAL layer. Fabric Manager firmware download For an embedded switch running Fabric OS 5.0.2 and 5.0.3 using the small firmware file format, Fabric Manager (FM) version 5.0 supports firmware download using the external ftp server to download the firmware to the switch. In Fabric Manager's Options dialog, set the FTP server setting to the external option. In the Firmware Download dialog, select the external ftp server to download. Fabric Manager does not support importing the image into the Fabric Manager firmware repository. HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.0.5e release notes 7

Need to turn traps on manually
The SilkWorm and FA traps in pre-Fabric OS 4.4.0 code were turned on and off as a group; and
it wasn’t possible to set individual SilkWorm or FA traps. In 4.4.0 the ability to turn traps on and off
individually was added. That means that individual traps need to be turned on explicitly after the
corresponding trap group is turned on.
After the upgrade from Fabric OS 4.2.0
fi
rmware, individual traps are turned off by default even if the
corresponding trap group was turned on before the upgrade. Therefore, if you have been previously
monitoring these traps, you need to use either
snmpMibCapSet
or the newer
snmpconfig
command to
turn the desired traps on individually.
The default setting is for all traps is Disabled.

With AUDIT logging enabled, while performing zoning changes through the CLI, an additional audit
log from HTTP may also appear along with the audit logs from zoning. This message does not always

does not support importing the image into the Fabric Manager
