The Fabric log is actually implemented as two logs, one that allows entry wrapping and one that stops adding entries when filled. This log is intended to provide information for analyzing fabric and switch behaviors and problems. The Fabric log is available via EWS, CLI, and HAFM. OSMS change Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is now available as a standard feature. OSMS can be enabled/disabled via EWS, Command Line Interface (CLI), and HAFM. Default zone is disabled by default The default zone on the director or edge switch is disabled by default. Zoning must be configured in order for any devices connected to the director to communicate. Some IP addresses must be avoided If you use HAFM to manage other M-Series Fabric directors and edge switches, when you select IP addresses for edge switches, directors, and for the HAFM appliance, do not use IP addresses in the following range: 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255-This subnet is used internally to the HAFM appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the call-home feature to function incorrectly. Hard zoning Hard zoning is a security enhancement introduced in firmware 05.01.00-24 that prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard zoning is enabled by default when using firmware 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, modify your 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 is fabric rejected, and a Class 3 frame is dropped. HA-Fabric Manager release notes 17

The Fabric log is actually implemented as two logs, one that allows entry wrapping and
one that stops adding entries when
fi
lled. This log is intended to provide information for
analyzing fabric and switch behaviors and problems. The Fabric log is available via
EWS, CLI, and HAFM.
OSMS change
Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is now available as a standard feature.
OSMS can be enabled/disabled via EWS, Command Line Interface (CLI), and HAFM.
Default zone is disabled by default
The default zone on the director or edge switch is disabled by default. Zoning must be
con
fi
gured in order for any devices connected to the director to communicate.
Some IP addresses must be avoided
If you use HAFM to manage other M-Series Fabric directors and edge switches, when
you select IP addresses for edge switches, directors, and for the HAFM appliance, do
not use IP addresses in the following range:
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255—This subnet is used internally to the HAFM
appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the call-home feature to function
incorrectly.
Hard zoning
Hard zoning is a security enhancement introduced in
fi
rmware 05.01.00-24 that
prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard zoning is enabled
by default when using
fi
rmware 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 de
fi
nitions, 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, modify your documentation, or retrain Storage Area
Network (SAN) administrators.
Hard zoning controls access at the ingress port. When a port attempts to send a frame
