Enhancements

This section describes enhancements for the ﬁrmware 09.02.00 release.

4Gb Fibre Channel speed support for Director 2/64

This release now provides 4-Gb Fibre Channel speed support in the Director 2/64 (Intrepid 6064

Director) in addition to support in the Director 2/140, which was released with ﬁrmware 09.00.00.

Operation at 4–Gb is provided with the use of the McDATA 4 Gb/s Intrepid 6000 QPM in the Director.

For more information about QPM, see the latest versions of the McDATA Intrepid 6140 and 6064

Directors Element Manager User Manual and the McDATA E/OS Command Line Interface User Manual,

available on the HP website http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/networking/index.html. Select

Retired Products and navigate to your director model and then to Manuals.

PFE feature bundling and trial PFE key support

This release supports product feature enablement (PFE) feature bundling and trial PFE key support. Trial

PFE keys let you try features for a predetermined amount of time, after which the features are disabled

non-disruptively, and if purchased, all feature conﬁguration settings are retained. Trial keys are generated

for unique switches (based on serial numbers) and may only be installed once. Features enabled with

trial keys are only manageable via CLI and HAFM Basic.

For information about all PFE features, contact your authorized McDATA reseller. You can ﬁnd the latest

reseller information on the website http://www.brocade.com/products/how_to_buy.jsp, and at the

Brocade Channel Partners website for your region (North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa; Asia

Paciﬁc) http://www.brocade.com/partners/AlliancePartnerNetwork.jsp.

Supported Fabric Size Zoning Limits Increased

The supported limit of interconnected switches in a single fabric can be as many as 31 switches with

unique domain IDs. This can be increased to 31 provided that any Edge Switch 2/16, Edge Switch

2/32, or Director 2/64 in the fabric is deployed at the edge of the fabric. The supported limit of

attached server/storage devices in a single fabric has been increased to 2048.

Increased Domain ID Conﬁguration Options

All M-Series Edge Switches and Directors now allow the offset range to be conﬁgured as 0 or a multiple

of 0x20. This allows the fabric to be assigned Domain IDs between 0x1 and 0xEF unlike earlier releases

that used the traditional range between 0x61 and 0x7F. This is conﬁgured using HAFM Basic or CLI, and

requires the switch to be taken ofﬂine momentarily. All switches in a fabric must have the same offset value.

WWN Aliases are available on Edge Switches

Conﬁguration of WWN aliases is supported on M-Series Edge Switches. The HAFM Basic embedded

web server (EWS) interface now supports conﬁguration of an alias for a device WWN on M-Series Edge

Switches, providing users the ability to name attached devices. Aliases allow users to more readily

identify attached devices, and simplify the process of zoning. Instead of relying on non-descriptive

WWNs, a logical name is associated to identify servers and storage devices. Up to 250 aliases can

be created and shared among the Edge Switches in the fabric. HAFM Basic displays aliases wherever

nodes are listed, including the zoning conﬁguration screen. Use of WWN aliases via HAFM Basic is

intended for small to medium size environments. For larger fabrics, the nickname feature in HAFM

is recommended. Nicknames and aliases should not be used concurrently, as they are completely

independent and no automatic synchronization is provided. HAFM does not show aliases; and CLI and

HAFM Basic do not show nicknames. Nicknames provide all the capabilities of aliases; so a customer

with HAFM is encouraged to use the nickname capability exclusively.
