3.1 Fibre Channel Switches (SC, SCv, and FS Series)
Fibre Channel switches listed in this section are supported at Level 1 (as described previously) for the listed
switch firmware versions. Switches listed in this table are supported with Storage Center OS (SCOS) and
FluidFS. Unless specifically stated in the notes column, SCOS 6.6 or later is required.
Switches listed below, with a “Switch Type” of “Converged” are also supported for use with FCoE servers as
listed in the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Adapter section.
Fibre Channel zoning requirements, as shown in Appendix B, Fibre Channel Zoning, must be observed in
order to maintain IO during Storage Center controller failovers and network/fabric path failovers.
