What’s New
Release Notes – Data Replication Manager HSG80 ACS Version 8.6-4P 7
• Fibre Channel SAN Switch V2.6 firmware supports DRM using Fiber Channel
(FC) optical links, and links through wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
boxes that do not alter the FC protocol. It does not currently support some DRM
configurations using FC-IP or FC-ATM links, and will require the use of earlier
firmware versions. For the latest update on supported DRM configurations please
refer to the DRM Application Notes for intersite links, which can be found at:
http://www.compaq.com/products/sanworks/drm/documentation.html.
Table 1 and Table 2 summarize this information.
NOTE: Novell NetWare is the restriction for FC SAN switch firmware version. As shown in
Table 1, if a Novell server is in the SAN, then the lower version switch firmware must be used for
all switches.
NOTE: If there is a conflict in which version of the FC SAN switch firmware to use based on
either Table 1or Table 2, Table 2 will take precedence.
