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

• CLI displays GE port errors through the addition of a new command gePortErrShow that
shows GE ports and their statistics.
• FCIP RASlog enhancements include:
Improved FCIP RASlog messages in a Virtual Fabrics environment.◦
◦ FCIP RASlogs to be logged against the correct Logical Switch or chassis.
◦ Minimize the creation of FICON Emulation RASlog messages (applies to the FICN-XXXX
RASlog messages).
Scalability enhancements
Support for up to 2 MB zone database in a fabric with only HP DC SAN Backbone Director/HP
DC04 SAN Director/HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director/HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN
Director systems. The presence of any other platform in the fabric will limit the maximum zone
database to 1 MB for the entire fabric.
Fabric Services enhancements
• Zoning enhancements include:
Ability to replace a zone member (WWN/D, I) by another member through the
zoneobjectreplace command.
◦
◦ Enhancement to the zoneCreate, zoneAdd, and zoneRemove commands to use a
collection of zone aliases as an input instead of a single alias member. The group of
aliases is selected by matching a pattern specified by the user in the command line.
◦ Provide more options to the zoneshow and cfgshow commands to list details/differences
between the transaction buffer and the committed/saved zone database.
◦ Warn users at the time of cfgSave if the zone database edits in the open zone transaction
will make the Defined and Effective Zone configurations inconsistent. This warning reduces
the risk of having mismatched effective zone configurations in the same fabric when
merging a switch into the fabric.
◦ Warn or notify users when multiple users attempt to simultaneously configure or reconfigure
zone sets in more than one switch of a fabric.
• Name Server enhancements include:
Enhancement to the nsZoneMember command to use “domain and port index” as
optional parameters to display zoned device data, including the device PID and zone
alias. The domain and index can be either the local switch or a remote switch.
◦
◦ Addition of a new option domain to the nsAliasShow command to display a remote
device’s details for that particular domain in the fabric.
