HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager release notes

Firmware 06.02.00-22 includes minor bug fixes, and provides support for

second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24 switches. This is the

minimum M-Series firmware supported on the second-generation Edge

Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24.

For customers who want to add a second-generation switch to their existing SAN,

but are not ready to upgrade their SAN from 5.x to 06.02.00, there is a downgrade

firmware version for each of these edge switches which provides compatibility

with a SAN running 05.02.00.

Firmware 05.03.01-01 is available for the Edge Switch 2/24, and firmware

05.05.01-01 is available for the Edge Switch 2/12. These versions are installed

only on the Edge Switch 2/24 and Edge Switch 2/12, and only when these

switches are placed in a M-Series SAN running 05.02.00 firmware. A copy of

these versions of firmware, are contained on the HP StorageWorks edge switch

documentation and firmware CD (Part Number 524-000001-005).

Reinstalling feature licenses

Feature licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on

an edge switch to regain use of the licensed features (e.g., SANtegrity Binding).

CTP controls port lights

Port lights on the edge switch and director products are controlled by the CTP

functionality. Certain activities such as firmware 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 Fibre

Channel traffic is not affected during these times.

Issue concerning HAFM remote client access to the HAFM appliance with dual LAN

configuration

When using a single public LAN connection at the HAFM appliance for all

Ethernet communications, the single LAN connection operates correctly for the

following functions:

■

Directors and edge switches that the HAFM appliance manages

■

Computers seeking remote client access to the HAFM appliance

■

SAN management applications such as HP OpenView SAN Area Manager

When using two LAN connections (public and private) at the HAFM appliance,

Microsoft Windows and HAFM determine the following:
