ACS Feature Enhancements
The following major enhancements are included in the ACS Version 8.7 release:
• Host Connection Table Locking—Host table lock and unlock commands were

host login request is rejected (unless the connection is already in the table), and
the request is stored internally on a rejected hosts table.
• Selective Management Presentation—Selective Management Presentation
extends the use of Selective Storage Presentation by providing control over which
SAN Management Agent systems (if any) can perform management operations.
• VENDOR_ID Field—ACS now provides a
VENDOR_ID field at the bottom of the
Extended information area, returned by the
SHOW THIS FULL or SHOW OTHER
FULL
commands.
