HP B-series Fabric OS 7.1.0c Release Notes (5697-2892, October 2013 - includes all 7.1.0x versions)

NOTE: If the first ELP fails between neighboring ports, then the WWNN may not be displayed
at both ends of the segmented link.
• Support for TI (Traffic Isolation) zone violation handling for trunk ports. If a failover-disabled
TI zone has trunk members, but not all members of that trunk group are in the same TI zone,
there is a possibility of routing issues if the members in the TI zone fail. With this release, there
are attempts to detect such misconfigurations upfront and warn users about the condition
through the ZONE_1061 RASlog message.
• Support for switchCfgPersistentDisable –set option, which allows setting the switch
to a disabled state without immediately disabling it. If the switch is subsequently disabled or
it is rebooted, i t will be held in this disabled state. Previously, when the
switchCfgPersistentDisable command was executed, the switch was disabled
immediately.
• The following options have been added to the portAutoDisable command:
The portcfgautodisable –suspend command: No action will be performed on the
port for the configured options (i.e. option = LOSG, OLS, NOS, LIP, LOSN) when this
command is executed for all the existing configurations.
◦
◦ The portcfgautodisable –resume command: The port is automatically disabled
when this command is executed for the existing configured option (for example, option
= LOSG, OLS, NOS, LIP, LOSN).
• The commands portDisable, portEnable, portShow, portPerfShow, portCfgSpeed,
portStatsClear, and portStatsShow can accept port numbers in hexadecimal format.
The –x option indicates that a port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers is in
hexadecimal format.
• Additional option for users to map CS_CTL values to QoS traffic priorities. Users have the
choice to map CS_CTL values of 1, 2 and 3 to QoS priorities corresponding to Low, Medium,
and High.
• Superping for FCIP supports the following:
Traverse all possible FCIP links based on FCIP routing.◦
◦ Display all possible VE and GE links in the path.
