Supported conﬁgurations

Operation of multiple switches in a fabric topology is subject to the following topology

limits. Consider the impact of these limits when planning the fabric.

NOTE:

For more information about planning the fabric, refer to HP StorageWorks SAN High

Availability Planning Guide.

•Fabric Elements—Each fabric element is deﬁned by a unique domain ID that

ranges between 1 and 31; therefore, the theoretical limit of interconnected

directors in a single fabric is 31. The supported limit of interconnected switches

inasinglefabricis24.Becausethisnumberissubjecttochange,contactyour

HP authorized service representative for the current number of interconnected

switches supported in a single fabric.

•Inhomogeneous fabric—To determine if interoperability is supported for a

product, or if restrictions apply, refer to the product publications, or contact your

HP authorized service representative.

•Number of Interswitch Links (ISLs)—The maximum supported number of ISLs is

75% of installed ports for the Director 2/64, and 50% of installed ports for

the Director 2/140. For redundancy, at least two ISLs should connect any

two director-class fabric elements. Because this number is subject to change,

contact your HP authorized service representative for the current number of ISLs

supported per director.

•Hop Count—The Fibre Channel theoretical limit of ISL connections traversed (hop

count) in a single path through a fabric is seven. The maximum supported hop

count in a single path through a fabric is three. Because this number is subject to

change, contact your HP authorized service representative for the current hop

count supported by a single fabric path.

The hop count is equal to the number of ISL connections traversed in a single

path, not the total number of ISL connections between devices.

Cable requirements

NOTE:

Optical cables for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 must be ordered separately.

For cables measuring up to 500 meters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gbps), 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 Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 use LC

Duplex connectors with a PC ﬁnish. In addition, the connector at the opposite 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 Director 2/64 and

Director 2/140.

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 07.01.02-4

is based on ﬁrmware 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 module

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

port modules in a director. In the release of ﬁrmware 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 certain 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 Manager could hang indeﬁnitely, preventing any further

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

Director release notes 5

Zonesets containing domain/port number zones while in Open Fabric interop mode no longer

cause zoning to hang

When directors and edge switches in a fabric were conﬁgured for Open Fabric 1.0

interop mode, and the fabric’s zoneset contained a zone with members deﬁned by

domain/port number instead of World Wide Name, activating changes to the zoneset

could cause the Zone Manager to hang. When this occurred, the Zone Manager could

hang indeﬁnitely, preventing any further zone activities from any management location.

It should be noted that domain/port number zones are not supported in Open Fabric

1.0 interop mode, and are ignored. The Zone Manager will no longer hang under these

conditions, and these zones are still ignored in Open Fabric 1.0 interop mode.

Occasional Ethernet hang issue is resolved

Under certain conditions, the Ethernet communications could intermittently hang on

director 2/140, edge switch 2/24, and edge switch 2/12. This issue has been

corrected.

Features not supported in this release

The following director and edge switch feature is not supported in this release:

•SANtegrity Authentication

The following HAFM features are not supported in this release:

•SANtegrity Security Center

•Group Conﬁguration Manager

These features are described in the documentation released with ﬁrmware 07.00.00 and

HAFM 08.06.00. Some of these features may be available in a future release.
