Secure Fabric OS feature not compatible with Fabric OS 6.x

and later

Fabric OS 5.3.x is the last Fabric OS version compatible with Secure Fabric OS (SFOS). However,

all of the security features of SFOS have been fully integrated into the base Fabric OS, starting with

Fabric OS 5.3.x.

Zoning and fabric operations

When configuring zoning or other fabric-wide settings in a fabric that has products operating with

different versions of Fabric OS, HP recommends that you perform the configuration through an interface

(such as WebTools) to a product with the most recent version of Fabric OS. Some older versions of

Fabric OS do not fully support newer hardware models, and problems may arise when configuring

settings through these older products.

NOTE:

Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that has products

operating with later versions of Fabric OS.

Prerequisites

Table 1 lists the supported Fabric OS firmware versions. HP recommends using the latest supported

firmware versions to get the greatest benefit from the SAN.
