Embedded Fabric Log

The switch-based fabric log records events related to the following services:

• Fabric Controller

• Path Selection

• Login Server

• Name Server

The Fabric log is actually implemented as two logs, one that allows entry wrapping and

one that stops adding entries when filled. This log is intended to provide information for

analyzing fabric and switch behaviors and problems. The Fabric log is available via

EWS, CLI, and HAFM.

OSMS change

Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is now available as a standard feature.

OSMS can b e enabled/disabled via EWS, Command Line Interface (CLI), and HAFM.

Default zone is disabled by default

ThedefaultzoneontheEdgeSwitch2/12,EdgeSwitch2/24,andEdgeSwitch2/32

is disabled by default. Zoning must be configured in order for any devices connected to

the e dge switches to communicate

Some IP addresses must be avoided

If you use HAFM to manage other M-Series Fabric directors and edge switches, when

you select IP addresses for edge switches, directors, a nd for the HAFM appliance, do

not use IP addresses in the following range:

192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255—This subnet is used internally to the HAFM

applianc e. Using an IP address in this range causes the call-home feature to function

incorrectly.

Hard zoning

Hard zoning is a security enhancement introduced in firmware 05.01.00-24 that

prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard zoning is enabled by

default when using firmware 05.01.00-24 or greater and cannot be disabled. All

HP-approved host bus adapters (HBAs) limit access to devices within their zones, so you

will not see a change in fabric behavior unless you are using nonstandard HBAs. Hard

zoning improves security against intruders that load nonstandard HBA drivers.
