Access Gateway device-based mapping in ESX environments
Users who want to utilize Access Gateway’s Device-based mapping feature in the ESX environments
should refer to the Brocade Tech Note Using Brocade Access Gateway Device-Based Mapping in
VMware ESX Server Environments for best implementation practices. This document can be
downloaded from the following HP website:
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals
Under storage, select Storage networking, and then select the appropriate switch under B-series
Switches.
Access Gateway Cascading
Access Gateway cascading is not supported on the HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch.
Brocade HBA/Adapter Compatibility
Brocade HBA/Adapter should be using driver version 2.3.0.2 or later when attached to 16 Gbps
ports on Brocade switches.
D_Port
• Fabric OS 7.0.0x supports the execution of D_Port tests concurrently on up to eight ports on
the switch.
• D_Port tests may be executed only on ports configured for portcfglongdistance port#
L0 or normal port distance mode. Executing D_Port tests on long distance ports may cause
tests to fail due to time out exceeded.
NOTE: The following message appears in CLI when Enabling D_Port with HP B-series SFPs
Caution: D_Port functionality is only available on 16G-capable
platforms with Brocade branded 16G SFPs and 10G FC SFPs. Electrical
and Optical loopback tests are supported only for Brocade branded
16G SFPs. Although this message appears, D_Port functions as expected with the HP B-series
SFPs installed. This error message will be removed in a subsequent Fabric OS release.
• There is no D_Port capability for 10 Gbps links nor for the 16 Gbps fabric at the far end of
the 10 Gbps link.
Encryption Behavior for the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch and HP StorageWorks DC
Switch Encryption FC Blade
• When doing a firmware upgrade to Fabric OS 7.0.0c or downgrade from Fabric OS 7.0.0c,
message SPM-1016 is issued on nodes in the EG (Encryption Group) when there are other
nodes in that EG that are still running pre-Fabric OS 7.0.0a. Although this is a warning
message, it is transient and is observed only during a firmware upgrade or downgrade
operation and can be ignored. The message text is: 2011/04/12-18:41:08,
[SPM-1016], 17132, FID 128, WARNING, pt1b-tw-102, Security database
is out of sync. This warning can be ignored if the nodes in the EG
are running different versions of FOS.
• If the migration to Fabric OS 7.0.0c does not occur from 6.4.1a, 6.4.1b, or 6.4.2a or later,
the following message is issued: HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch will
reboot if auto reboot is enabled otherwise it needs to be rebooted
