HA-Fabric Manager Release Notes
Reinstalling Feature Licenses
Feature Licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on a
director or switch to regain use of the licensed features (e.g., SANtegrity).
Multiple FC HBA Ports in Separate Zones
Multiple FC HBA ports in the same host should be placed in separate zones, or
they might be perceived as potential targets (some HBAs log-in as both host and
target).
CTP Controls Port Lights
Port lights on the edge switch and director products are controlled by the CTP
functionality. Certain activities, such as FW updates, IPLing the CTP, or switching
over to the backup CTP (Director) can cause these port lights to extinguish
momentarily until control is reasserted by the CTP. The actual FC traffic is not
affected during these times.
Support for Speed Auto-Negotiate
Currently, Speed Auto-Negotiate is not supported for HA and Failover SAN
configurations and is not recommended in general at this time. The speed should
be hard set to match the attached host or target port capability whenever possible.
Regressing to an Earlier HAFM Code
When regressing to earlier HAFM code versions (pre-6.00.01_4), 2 Gbps products
currently installed will drop from the HAFM screen because earlier Product
Managers cannot support the expanded features and have different naming
conventions. Switches can be re-added by IP or by restoring the original
configuration when the FW/SW level again supports 2 Gbps switches. The
fabric/zoning information will remain intact.
Once the HAFM server is upgraded to Version 06.03.01, any downgrade of the
HAFM server to a release earlier than Version 06.02.00 will result in the loss of
saved firmware files in the HAFM Firmware Library. the desired firmware must
be reloaded into the Firmware Library.
