FICON/CUP support HP does not support IBM Fibre Connections (FICON) in this Fabric OS 5.0.5d firmware release. See http://www.hp.com for a list of currently supported features. NPIV update HP does not currently support N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) in this Fabric OS 5.0.5d firmware release. See http://www.hp.com for a list of currently supported features. Unsupported commands The slotOff and slotOn commands are now obsolete; use slotPowerOff and slotPowerOn instead. The portLogPortShow command is also now obsolete. RSCN suppression This release of Fabric OS features RSCN suppression: the ability to control RSCNs originating from hosts on a port-by-port basis. Enhanced RAS log messages New with Fabric OS 5.0.1 are Zoning Audit messages. These messages record information about the type of zoning change made (including such tasks as cfgenable and cfgdisable) and the role level and user name making the changes. The messages are recorded in the RASlog whether change was made through the CLI or Web Tools. Note that occasional redundant entries are possible due to an extra HTTP entry when zoning changes are performed through the CLI. Fabric scalability Fabric OS 5.0.5d supports the same fabric scalability as Fabric OS 4.4.0: 2,650 ports with 50 domains. Problem determination Fabric OS 5.0.5d features the fcPing command, which provides the ability to check Fibre Channel connectivity between any two nodes in a fabric. Fabric OS 5.0.5a fixes Table 2 lists improvements included in Fabric OS 5.0.5a. Table 2 Fabric OS 5.0.5a closed defects Closed Defects Host cannot see a specific device on 2Gb platforms: SAN Switch 2/32, Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128. The workaround if not upgrading to this latest 5.0.5a release is to remove and reinsert the cable, or run portDisable/portEnable. In rare cases, the zoning daemon (zoned) caused the switch to panic during HAfailover. An abrupt power failure on a port blade on a 4/256 SAN Director caused the CPs to sometimes fail. In the event of an abrupt power failure, the fix allows a small delay for the power failure to be reflected in the power status register. Revised the error message that displays when portCfgGPort is issued for embedded switches. 8
