HP StorageWorks 2/140 - Director Switch Release Note

Using the Same Firmware

All switches and directors managed by HAFM should have the same FW level

installed—whether 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps capable.

Reinstalling Feature Licenses

Feature Licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on a

director to regain use of the licensed features (e.g., SANtegrity).

Multiple FC HBA Ports in Separate Zones

Multiple FC HBA ports in the same host should be placed in separate zones, or they

might be perceived as potential targets (some HBAs log-in as both host and target).

CTP Controls Port Lights

Port lights on the edge switch and director products are controlled by the CTP

functionality. Certain activities such as FW updates, IPLing the CTP, or switching

over to the backup CTP (Director) can cause these port lights to extinguish

momentarily until control is reasserted by the CTP. The actual FC traffic is not

affected during these times.

Support for Speed Auto-Negotiate

Currently, Speed Auto-Negotiate is not supported for HA and Failover SAN

configurations and is not recommended in general at this time. The speed should be

hard set to match the attached host or target port capability whenever possible.

Hot Insertion of an Optical Transceiver May Produce Port

Failure Event

There should be no impact to the switching and throughput capabilities of the director

and the error event can be cleared by performing a Port Reset.
