Important Information Open Trunking Feature is Not Available in Current Release The Open Trunking feature is not available in Firmware Version 05.01.00-24. Open Trunking feature will be available in a future release. Zoning is Disabled by Default The default zone on the Edge Switch 2/24, Edge Switch 2/32, Director 2/64, and Director 2/140 is disabled by default. Zoning must be configured in order for any devices connected to the switches to communicate. Hard Zoning Hard Zoning is a security enhancement in firmware version 05.01.00-24 that prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard Zoning is enabled by default when using firmware version 05.01.00-24 or greater and cannot be disabled. All HP-approved host bus adapters (HBAs) limit access to devices within their zones, so you will not see a change in fabric behavior unless you are using nonstandard HBAs. Hard Zoning improves security against intruders that load nonstandard HBA drivers. Hard Zoning is compatible with legacy zone definitions, including World Wide Name (WWN) and port zoning. You can use your existing zones and zone sets without any changes. There are no changes to the zoning interfaces, so you do not need to modify your zone management practice, documentation, or retrain Storage Area Network (SAN) administrators. Hard Zoning controls access at the ingress port. When a port attempts to send a frame to a destination outside its zones, the frame is blocked. A Class 2 frame will be fabric rejected, and a Class 3 frame will be dropped. Zoning Change RSCN Control Normally, when a zone set is activated, a fabric format domain Register State Change Notification (RSCN) is sent to all devices in the fabric. With firmware version 05.01.00-24. you can disable these RSCNs from being sent. This is done using the Suppress RSCNs on zone set activations check box on the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box. 10 HA-Fabric Manager Release Notes
