FW 07.01.02/HAFM SW 08.06.00 HP StorageWorks Edge Switch Release Notes (AA-RTDZH-TE, August 2005)

Cable r equir ements

NOTE:

Optical cables for

theEdgeSwitch2/12,EdgeSwitch2/12,andEdgeSwitch2/32

must be ordered separately.

For cables measuring up to 500 meters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gb ps), use multi-mode

Fibre Channel cables. For longer cables, use single-mode Fibre Channel cables.

Multi-mode optical cables are connected to short-wave optical transceiver modules in

a switch. Single-mode optical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver

modules in a switch. Multi-mode cables should use 50/125 optical ﬁbers, and

single-mode cables typically use 9/125 optical ﬁbers for distances up to 10 km.

Verify that connectors interfacing with the Edge Switch 2/12, Edge Switch 2/24, and

Edge Switch 2/32 use LC Duplex connectors with a PC ﬁ nish. In addition, the connector

at the opp osite end of the cable must be of either LC or SC type, depending on the

requirements of the connected device.

Important information

This section describes important information related to the Edge Switch 2/12, Edge

Switch 2/24, and Edge Switch 2/32 .

Minor Code Enhancements and Fixes in fw 07.01.02-4

This release of ﬁrmware version 07.01.02-4 incorporates some minor code enhancements

and ﬁxes, and is not a mandatory upgrade, though HP recommends that all directors

and edge switches be upgraded to this version of ﬁrmware. Firmware release 0 7.01.02-4

is based on ﬁrmw ar e 07.00.00-84, and contains all ﬁxes included in that version and

prior releases. The following are now incorporated in ﬁrmware version 07.01.02-4.

Directors take new action upon detecting a failed UPM port m o dule

A particular type of failure in director UPM port modules could be d isruptive to other

port modules in a director. In the release of ﬁ rmware 07.01.02-4, the action taken by

the director upon detecting this type of failure was changed to power off the failed port

module to prevent it from affecting other working port modules.

Embedded Web Server zoneset activation timeout issue resolved

Under cer tain conditions, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) would sometimes not allow

theZoneManagersubsystemenoughtimetoprocessaconﬁguration change request.

This would cause EWS to time out when waiting for the Zone Manager to respond.

When this occurred, the Zone Ma nager could hang indeﬁnitely, preventing any further

zone activities from any management location. This timeout issue has b een ﬁxed.
