Page 10 highlights

Previous QSA support provided a simple query facility in the switch for determining the status of security attributes enforced on the switch. QSA Rev 2 allows a device to register to receive RFCNs, so that it can be notified when a security change is made on the switch or fabric. The registered device can then use QSA to query for the current security attributes. Performance enhancements Firmware 08.01.00 provides significant improvements in nameserver response in large fabric configurations. When a new zone set configuration is activated or a new switch is added to the fabric, delays in nameserver responses are dramatically reduced. This ensures prompt responses to nameserver queries are sent immediately after applying configuration or zoning modifications. Documentation released with firmware 08.01.00 To support these products, McDATA Corporation (the product developer) and HP (the product OEM) provide documentation. The HP documents include all information that HP has incorporated into the products to date. The McDATA documents include only basic product information.
