Table notes:

All zoning and fabric operations in a fabric with products running older versions of Fabric OS

should be performed using interfaces to products running the latest version of Fabric OS. This is

important for Brocade 3xxx series switches that do not support zoning configuration for newer

products.

When directly attached to a host or target that is part of an encryption flow.

Products operating with Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.3.1b or 6.1.0e cannot participate in

a logical fabric that is using XISLs (in the base fabric).

These platforms cannot be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.

HP Network Advisor 11.1.3 is the minimum version required to manage the SN3000B 16 Gb

FC Switch and the HP SN8000B 8 Gb 32-port and 48-port Enhanced FC Blades. HP Network

Advisor 12.0.0 is the minimum version required to manage the HP StoreFabric SN65000B 16Gb

FC Switch.

If operating with FOS v6.2.2e or earlier, Adaptive Networking QoS must be disabled when

connecting to 16 Gb FC platforms. Otherwise, ISL will segment.

DCFM 10.4.x cannot manage switches running Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later. Network Advisor

11.1.0 or later must be used to manage these switches.
