The Fabric log is actually implemented as two logs, one that allows entry wrapping and

one that stops adding entries when ﬁlled. This log is intended to provide information for

analyzing fabric and switch behaviors and problems. The Fabric log is available via

EWS, CLI, and HAFM.

OSMS change

Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is now available as a standard feature.

OSMS can be enabled/disabled via EWS, Command Line Interface (CLI), and HAFM.

Default zone is disabled by default

The default zone on the director or edge switch is disabled by default. Zoning must be

conﬁgured in order for any devices connected to the director to communicate.

Some IP addresses must be avoided

If you use HAFM to manage other M-Series Fabric directors and edge switches, when

you select IP addresses for edge switches, directors, and for the HAFM appliance, do

not use IP addresses in the following range:

192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255—This subnet is used internally to the HAFM

appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the call-home feature to function

incorrectly.

Hard zoning

Hard zoning is a security enhancement introduced in ﬁrmware 05.01.00-24 that

prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard zoning is enabled

by default when using ﬁrmware 05.01.00-24 or greater and cannot be disabled. All

HP-approved host bus adapters (HBAs) limit access to devices within their zones, so you

will not see a change in fabric behavior unless you are using nonstandard HBAs. Hard

zoning improves security against intruders that load nonstandard HBA drivers.

Hard zoning is compatible with legacy zone deﬁnitions, including World Wide Name

(WWN) and port zoning. You can use your existing zones and zone sets without any

changes. There are no changes to the zoning interfaces, so you do not need to modify

your zone management practice, modify your documentation, or retrain Storage Area

Network (SAN) administrators.

Hard zoning controls access at the ingress port. When a port attempts to send a frame

to a destination outside its zones, the frame is blocked. A Class 2 frame is fabric

rejected, and a Class 3 frame is dropped.
