Fabric OS feature compatibility in native connectivity modes Some Fabric OS features are not fully supported when operating in the native connectivity modes for deployment with M-EOS-based products. All HP StorageWorks models supported by Fabric OS 6.2.0e support both interopmodes 2 and 3, with the exception of the 4/32 SAN Switch. NOTE: HP may not support all of these switches in this mode. See "Merging Fabrics based on M-series and B-series FC switches" application note available at http://www.hp.com for specific support in interopmodes 2 and 3. Table 5 specifies the support of Fabric OS features when operating in either interopmode 2 (McDATA Fabric Mode) or interopmode 3 (Open Fabric Mode) with Fabric OS 6.2.0e.
