Overview Fabric OS (FOS) v7.0.1a is a patch release based on FOS v7.0.1. All hardware platforms and features supported in FOS v7.0.1 are also supported in FOS v7.0.1a. Quick Look If you are already using the most recent version of the Fabric OS v7.0.1 Release Notes, the following are the significant changes in this version: The table at the end of these notes contains a list of the additional defects closed with Fabric OS v7.0.1a since the release of Fabric OS v7.0.1. FOS v7.0.1 Overiew FOS v7.0.
New Feature Descriptions Enhanced Optical ICL Topology Support for DCX 8510 FOS v7.0.1 supports the following enhanced topologies using optical ICLs: Support for up to nine DCX 8510 chassis in full mesh configuration using optical ICLs Support for ICL connectivity with up to ten DCX 8510 chassis in core-edge topology This increased support delivers massive scalability, significantly reduces cabling complexity, and also makes more ports available for device connectivity. FOS v7.0.
Optionally Licensed Software Fabric OS v7.0.1 includes all basic switch and fabric support software, as well as optionally licensed software that is enabled via license keys. Optionally licensed features supported in FOS v7.0.1 include: Brocade Ports on Demand—Allows customers to instantly scale the fabric by provisioning additional ports via license key upgrade. (Applies to select models of switches).
can be installed to enable full encryption processing power on the BES or on all FS8-18 blades installed in a DCX/DCX-4S/DCX 8510-8/DCX 8510-4 chassis. DataFort Compatibility — This license is required on the Brocade Encryption Switch or DCX/DCX-4S/DCX 85108/DCX 8510-4 with FS8-18 blade(s) to read and decrypt NetApp DataFort-encrypted disk and tape LUNs.
Note that this license requirement does not depend upon the total number of DCX 8510 chassis that exist in a fabric, but only on how many chassis are interconnected via ICLs. This license is only recognized/displayed when operating with FOS v7.0.1 and later. Temporary License Support The following licenses are available in FOS v7.0.
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation with LACP IEEE 802.3ae 10G Ethernet IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging IEEE 802.1p Class of Service Prioritization and Tagging IEEE 802.1v VLAN Classification by Protocol and Port IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) IEEE 802.3x Flow Control (Pause Frames) The following draft versions of the Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Standards are also supported on the Brocade 8000 and FCOE10-24 blade: IEEE 802.1Qbb IEEE 802.1Qaz IEEE 802.

FOS Migration Considerations This section contains important details to consider before migrating to or from this FOS release. TSBs - Critical Issues to Consider Prior to Installing This FOS Release Technical Support Bulletins (TSBs) are produced to provide detailed information about high priority defects or issues present in FOS releases. The following sections specify all current TSBs that have been identified as being a risk to or resolved with this specific version of Fabric OS.
FOS Upgrade and Downgrade Special Considerations The DCX/DCX-4S units running any FOS v6.4.x can be non-disruptively upgraded to FOS v7.0.1. This upgrade is non-disruptive to FC traffic only. When loading FOS v7.0.1 to a DCX chassis with FCOE10-24 blades with Brocade Network Advisor v11.1.1/11.1.1a, there is no warning flagging FCoE traffic disruption. The DCX/DCX-4S units running FOS v6.4.1_fcoe1 can be non-disruptively upgraded to FOS v7.0.1.
Routing (FCR) switches/ Integrated Routing (IR) capabilities, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) / DCB switches, and Brocade HBAs / CNAs. Network Advisor Enterprise: a management application designed for enterprise-class SANs for managing up to 24 physical or virtual fabrics and up to 9,000 switch ports.

o Look for the Tech Note on Access Gateway Device-Based Mapping in VMware ESX Server. Brocade HBA/Adapter Compatibility Brocade HBA/Adapter should be using driver version 2.3.0.2 or later when attached to 16G ports on Brocade switches. D-Port D-port tests must be run with FEC disabled. Sometimes, a D-Port test may get stuck in ―IN PROGRESS‖ state, when FEC is enabled for a port. The D-Port stuck in ―IN PROGRESS‖ state can be recovered by toggling the port (port disable/enable). FOS v7.0.
If the migration to FOS v7.0 or later does not occur from 6.4.1a, 6.4.1b, or 6.4.2, the following will result BES will reboot if auto reboot is enabled otherwise it needs to be rebooted manually for recovery2010/11/08-04:54:35:485488, [FSS-1009], 4424/886, CHASSIS, ERROR, MACE, FSS Error: fcsw0-vs: MISMATCH: component., svc.c, line: 2462, comp:FSSK_TH, ltime:2010/11/08-04:54:35:485484 Adding of 3PAR Session/Enclosure LUNs to CTCs is now supported.
With Windows and Veritas Volume Manager/Veritas Dynamic Multipathing, when LUN sizes less than 400MB are presented to BES for encryption, a host panic may occur and this configuration is not supported in the FOS v6.3.1 or later release. Hot Code Load from FOS v6.4.1a to FOS v7.0 or later is supported. Cryptographic operations and I/O will be disrupted but other layer 2 FC traffic will not be disrupted.

Before upgrading to FOS v6.4.1_fcoe/v6.4.1_fcoe1/v7.0.0 or later, if the CEE map ―default‖ value already exists, the same ―default‖ value is preserved after upgrading to FOS v6.4.1_fcoe/v6.4.1_fcoe1/v7.0.0 or later. However, if the CEE map ―default‖ is not configured before upgrading to FOS v6.4.1_fcoe/v6.4.1_fcoe1/v7.0.0 or later, then after upgrading to FOS v6.4.1_fcoe/v6.4.1_fcoe1/v7.0.
The Brocade 8000 and FCOE10-24 can handle 169 small FCoE frames in bursts. If you are using the Brocade 8000 or FCOE10-24, and you delete a large number of v-ports with HCM, some of the v-ports may not appear to be deleted. To correct this, disable and re-enable FCoE with the following CLI commands: switch:admin>fcoe –disable slot/port switch:admin>fcoe --enable slot/port When a FCOE10-24 blade is powered off during configuration replay, the interface specific configuration won’t get applied.
A maximum of 112 ports may be used for connectivity to loop devices in a single Logical Switch within a chassis in 10-bit dynamic area mode on DCX. Loop devices continue to be supported when attached to ports on the FC8-16, FC8-32 with no new restrictions. ICLs on DCX/DCX-4S If a DCX with an 8-link ICL license is connected to a DCX with a 16-link license, the DCX with the 16link license will report enc_out errors. The errors are harmless, but will continue to increment.
supported limits. Please note that there is no enforcement by FOS 7.0.x to restrict users to operate within 1MB zone database limit - it is the responsibility of the user to not exceed this limit. There are limitations to zoning operations that can be performed from a FOS v6.x switch that is in the same fabric as a FOS v7.0 or later switch if the FOS v6.x switch is not running the recommended firmware version. Please see Fabric OS Interoperability section for details. Beginning with the FOS v6.2.
Connector: 12 MPO Parallel Optic Transceiver: 0000000000000000 16_Gbps id It is recommended that for directors with more than 300 E_Ports, the switch be disabled prior to executing the ―switchCfgTrunk‖ command (used to disable or enable trunking on the switch). During non-disruptive firmware upgrades, E_Ports in R-RDY mode may cause some frame drops on the E-port links. For the configure command, in FOS v6.
