Issue Description Fibre Channel Management Server platform services compatibility XPath OS 7.4.0 is not compatible with the Fabric OS implementation of the Fibre Channel Management Server platform services. If platform services are enabled on a Fabric OS fabric and a merge is attempted with an XPath OS 7.4.0 fabric, the E_Port links between the fabrics will link and segment at intervals; in effect, the fabrics will not merge. The command msPlMgmtDeactivate should be executed on all Fabric OS switches prior to any merge attempts with XPath OS. Fabric OS open E_Port is not Fabric OS open E_Port is not supported on XPath OS. supported Traffic switching In a single MP Router, you can configure a port to be FC, FCR, GbE iSCSI, or GbE FCIP. Traffic switching is supported only between the following types of ports: • FC & FCR • FC & GbE FCIP • FC & GbE iSCSI • FCR & FCIP Traffic switching between other types of port combinations is not supported. This applies to port combinations on the same platform and across independent platforms. For example, traffic from an iSCSI initiator connected to a MP Router cannot be switched by an EX_Port on the same or independent router. Table 10 Fabric Manager Issue Disabled EX_Port Description If an EX_Port is disabled due to a Fabric ID conflict, the reason (Fabric ID conflict) is not displayed in the Type column of the Ports Table within Fabric Manager. Front and Xlate Domains The Front and Xlate Domains are listed in the Selected Fabric tree of the FCS tab within the Secure Policy Editor in Fabric Manager. These domains should not be listed. If these domains are selected and added to the FCS list, an error message is received. XPath OS migration procedures The XPath OS migration procedures are described in the HP StorageWorks XPath OS Administrator Guide. See this guide for explicit instructions on upgrading or downgrading your XPath OS. Table 11 lists the XPath OS file and its associated recovery kernel file for each firmware version.
