HP StorageWorks Director and Edge Switch release notes (5697-8176, April 2009)

Some IP addresses must be avoided
If you use HAFM to manage Edge Switches and Directors, do not use IP addresses in the range
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255.
This subnet is used internally by the HAFM Appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the
Call Home feature to function incorrectly.
Using HAFM Basic
HAFM Basic requires using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or Netscape version 7 in order to
operate correctly.
Zoning limits
Table 5 lists the supported zoning limits for the Edge Switches and Directors.

Using the same firmware level
All Edge Switches and Directors in the same fabric should have the same firmware level installed to
ensure that this firmware operates correctly.
Firmware 09.09.02 is common for all M-series fabric products, except the McDATA 4-Gb SAN Switch
for HP p-Class BladeSystem, which has a separate firmware.
Reinstalling feature licenses
Feature licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on an Edge Switch or
Director to regain use of the licensed features (for example, SANtegrity Binding).
