Important notes
This section provides information that you should consider before using DCFM V10.3.x. See the Data
Center Fabric Manager Enterprise, Professional Plus, or Professional User Manual for details on the
following notes. These documents can be downloaded from the following HP website:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/dc_fabricmgr/index.html
Under Support, click HP Support & Documents, and then click Manuals. Under User guide, select the
appropriate edition.
NOTE:
Install DCFM on a dedicated machine that is not running any other server applications, such as another
database server.
New OUI support on B-series platforms
The OUI value is part of a Fibre Channel WWN that uniquely identifies the manufacturer of Fibre
Channel products. The OUI values assigned to Brocade are used by Fabric OS to validate certain
fabric interoperability support, and by DCFM to provide for manageability features.
Brocade is near to exhausting the currently assigned OUI/WWN values. Therefore, they will soon
be using a new OUI value for WWN assignment. WWNs with the current OUI value are expected
to be consumed by mid-2010. Brocade factory shipments of switches after this time will have WWNs
that include the new OUI.
The new OUI value for Brocade is 00:05:33. For example, a WWN of
10:00:00:05:33:41:5c:c1 uses the new OUI.
DCFM 10.3.4 has been enhanced to recognize the new Brocade OUI value to guarantee proper
functionality.
B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 11

IMPORTANT:
If you have a switch with the new OUI/WWN in the fabric, do not downgrade DCFM to a version
earlier than 10.3.4.
DCFM versions earlier than 10.3.4 will show such switches as unmanaged.
Default changed for Encrypt Existing Data feature
When using DCFM 10.3.0 or later to configure LUNs, the default setting for the Encrypt Existing
Data option has been changed to Disable from Enable. This aligns the LUN options in DCFM
with the default LUN options in the CLI.
NOTE:
The Encryption Administrator's Guide does not reflect this change at the time of DCFM 10.3.4 release.
DCFM cannot manage M-EOSc switches with SNMPv3 enabled
DCFM 10.1.3 or later does not support managing M-EOSc switches with SNMPv3 enabled. If SNMPv3
is enabled on M-EOSc switches, SNMPv1 is disabled automatically. DCFM uses SNMPv1 to manage
M-EOSc switches; therefore, the manageability link cannot be established if SNMPv3 is enabled. HP
recommends that you use the CLI to disable SNMPv3.
JRE V1.6.0 Update 13 is required
Using a JRE version earlier than V1.6.0 Update 13 can cause the following problems:
•The remote client fails to launch with a Java webstart exception.
•The remote client cannot be upgraded or downgraded.
•The DCFM server/client and B-series Element Manager crash on launch.
If your system has a JRE version earlier than JRE V1.6.0_13, when launching the remote client, the
browser displays a link to download the JRE installer. If your system has JRE V1.6.0, you must run
1.6.0 Update 13. You can validate this by executing java –version from the command prompt.
If the version displayed is 1.6.0_13, you are running the correct version. If your JRE version is earlier
than 1.6.0_13, remove JRE and then browse to the DCFM Server IP address to download the correct
version, which is bundled with the DCFM server.
NOTE:
If you installed JRE V1.6.0 Update 13, do not use the Java auto-updater, as this will change the JRE
version.
DCFM Professional services do not auto-start on Linux and Solaris
After a restart, DCFM Professional services must be started manually on both Linux and Solaris systems.
Otherwise, the DCFM client will fail to launch.
12

Event priority mismatch
Error-level policies are occasionally triggered by warning-level events.
Configdownload fails when the ALL parameter is selected
If you run the configdownload command with the ALL parameter selected to download a
configuration from one virtual switch to another virtual switch and the Fabric IDs do not match, the
download will fail.
Switch name update delay
If you use a tool other than DCFM to change the name of a switch, the new name for the switch can
take up to 15 minutes to appear in DCFM. The actual time delay depends on the SAN Size value.
Deleting logical switches with GbE ports causes errors
If you delete a logical switch that has GbE ports without first moving the GbE ports to the default
logical switch, an error message can display and the delete can fail.
Event-based file actions fail
DCFM event actions fail to run scripts on Windows remote-mounted filesystems.
EX_Port disabled when configuring routing domain IDs
After selecting an edge fabric and launching the Routing Domain IDs dialog, if you select all front
domains and Xlate domains, and then add domain IDs, clicking OK disables the EX_Ports and displays
the following message:
EX_PORT ISOLATE
Removing switches
If you plan to segment and remove more than two switches from a fabric, and you have Historical
Performance Collection enabled, HP recommends that you accept changes after each switch
segmentation from the client.
DCFM clients
To free up server resources and as a best practice, HP recommends that you shut down clients that
are not actively being used. In some scenarios, if duplicate entries are displayed in the Product List,
restart the client.
Secure FOS fabrics cannot be discovered from DCFM
DCFM does not support Secure FOS (SFOS). If you attempt to discover an SFOS fabric, DCFM displays
the message Discovery Failed. To recover, you must remove the SFOS settings and set typical
fabric settings.
B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 13

Performance Data Aging tab has been removed from Server Management
Console
You cannot configure the Performance Data Aging settings in DCFM 10.1.4 or later. The tab has
been removed from Server Management Console (SMC). The default configuration settings are as
follows:
•288 samples in a 5-minute period
•144 samples in a 30-minute period
•84 samples in a 2-hour period
•90 samples in a 1-day period
•606 total samples
When migrating from an earlier release to DCFM 10.3.3, all historical data is truncated with respect
to the default samples, and the aging configuration is not migrated.
Unable to launch Element Manager for M-EOS switches
After migrating from EFCM to DCFM, using the lPv4 address to discover M-EOS switches in dual
mode prohibits the use of management tools. This is because DCFM uses lPv6 addresses as the
preferred IP mechanism. As a workaround, do one of the following:
•Before migrating to DCFM, disable dual mode on the M-EOS switches.
•After migrating to DCFM, delete and then rediscover the fabric.
NOTE:
Before deleting the fabric, be sure to back up the zone information, historical performance data
(if applicable), and names, and then import the information after the discovery is complete.
Encryption configuration has limited support
The current commit limitation of a total of 25 LUN transactions (add, update, and remove) can cause
delays in registering changes for LUN provisioning. To avoid this situation, HP recommends that you
commit each transaction before making additional changes.
Incorrect discovery status displayed for VF-enabled switches
During the Discovery of VF enabled switches, if an incorrect user ID is provided for the SNMPv3 user
name, the following message appears:
The SNMP user ID entered is not defined as FOS switch user
If you then provide the correct user ID, the message remains and does not display the correct status.
HP recommends that you provide the correct user ID while discovering VF-enabled switches.
M-EOS switches losing and gaining manageability
M-EOS switches lose and gain manageability with an Invalid protocol Discovery status if the
fabric contains an Mi10K configured with an API user. HP recommends that you remove the API user
from the Mi10K to avoid this issue.
The Mi10K does not gain manageability in DCFM after migration when it is discovered using SNMPv3
with APIuser in EFCM. After migration from EFCM to DCFM, the Mi10K does not gain manageability
because the Configure for Intrepid 10k check box is not selected, and is displayed as (API User
14

| Administrator). HP recommends that you select Configure for Intrepid 10k on the the Edit
dialog, SNMPv3 tab.
Migrating from DCFM 10.1.xto 10.3.x duration
The complete migration process (from installing DCFM to discovering the switches) takes 35 minutes
when migrating from 10.1.xto 10.3.x. The migration process takes a long time if the ftproot folder
is larger than 7 GB. HP recommends that prior to migration, you reduce the size of the ftproot
folder by limiting the number of firmware versions and SupportSave files stored there.
Migrating from EFCM duration
The complete migration process (from installing DCFM to discovering the switches) takes 46 minutes
when migrating from EFCM. The migration process takes a long time if the ftproot folder is larger
than 7 GB. HP recommends that prior to migration, you reduce the size of the ftproot folder by
limiting the number of firmware versions and data files stored there.
Firmware repository select latest option error
When importing firmware in the repository, if the firmware options are 6.2.0g and 6.1.2a, clicking
Select latest results in 6.1.2a being selected instead of 6.2.0g. HP recommends that you select the
latest version manually.
Empty LAG creation
If a dot1x-enabled port is assigned to an LAG, an empty LAG is created.
NOTE:
If a two-port combination of dot1x-enabled and dot1x-disabled are added to an LAG, only the
dot1x-disabled ports are added to the LAG.
HP recommends that you verify the dot1x status on the port before assigning it to an LAG.
Duplicate tunnels appear in the FCIP Tunnel dialog after creating a new tunnel
After creating a new tunnel between two FCIP-capable switches, duplicate tunnels display in the FCIP
Tunnel dialog. HP recommends that you close and then open the FCIP tunnel dialog to view an updated
display.
No operation performed when options are clicked in the FCIP Tunnel dialog
Occasionally, clicking Add Tunnel, Edit Tunnel,Disable Tunnel, or Enable Tunnel in the FCIP Tunnel
dialog produces no results. HP recommends that you close and then open the FCIP tunnel dialog
before retrying the operation.
The FCIP Tunnel dialog does not display information about newly added circuits
After adding the new circuit using the FCIP Tunnel dialog Circuits tab, some fields (such as Gateway,
GigE ports, Administrative Status, and Wrong MTU size value) for the new circuit are blank. HP
recommends that you close, and then reopen the FCIP tunnel dialog to see the updated values.
B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 15

Error message appears when deleting a circuit
While trying to delete a circuit, the following message appears and the delete operation fails:
The Operation has Failed error: Failed to remove FCIP circuit. Error
issuing delete to port. Removing from config database. It is recommended
to reboot, to clean up active port config
HP recommends that you reboot the switch, and then retry the operation.
IFL connection shown in Topology after deleting all VE-VEX tunnels present
between 1606 Extension SAN switches
After deleting all VE-VEX tunnels present between the HP StorageWorks 1606 Extension SAN Switches,
the IFL connection is displayed in the Topology. HP recommends that you unmonitor, and then remonitor
the switch.
After a switch is converted to Access Gateway, an extra HBA icon is displayed
in Topology.
When a switch is converted to Access Gateway mode, both HBA and Access Gateway are displayed
in the fabric with the same WWN. HP recommends that you unmonitor, and then remonitor the fabric
so the HBA is removed from the Topology.
After an Access Gateway is converted to switch mode, it still appears as Access
Gateway
In a migrated server, if Access Gateway mode is disabled in the discovered fabric, it continues to
appear as Access Gateway and the end device to which it is connected is not displayed. HP
recommends that you unmonitor, and then remonitor the fabric.
Access Gateway-to-switch connection is not displayed after fabric merge
When the fabrics are merged, the Access Gateway-to-switch connection is not displayed. HP
recommends that you unmonitor, and then remonitor the fabric.
F_Ports connected to an Access Gateway are not displayed as attached ports
under the switch
If an Access Gateway is connected to a switch, F_Ports connected to the Access Gateway do not
appear as attached virtual ports under the switch. HP recommends that you launch a new client.
Quorum card options are enabled in mixed FOS encryption group
If an encryption group is created with an FOS 6.3.0 switch and another switch with 6.2.0xencryption,
the quorum card option and system card option are enabled on the Security tab. HP recommends
that the switches in an encryption group have the same FOS (6.3.0) to maximize quorum card and
system card support.

Connection between the Access Gateway and switches does not appear when
F_Port trunking is enabled on the Access Gateway
If a switch configured with F_Port trunking is connected to the Access Gateway, the F_Port trunk group
icon does not appear in the Product Tree, and the connection between the switch and the Access
Gateway is not displayed in the Topology. HP recommends that you disable F_Port trunking on the
switch before connecting it to the Access Gateway.
Opening the Zoning dialog fails during discovery
If you attempt to open the Zoning dialog before the discovery operation is complete, a Failed to
load Zone DB message appears. HP recommends that you wait until the discovery operation is
complete before you open the Zoning dialog.
Mi10k manageability issue after migration
After migrating to DCFM 10.3.xfrom DCFM 10.0.xor 10.1.x, an Mi10k is unable to gain
manageability. This is because Configure for Intrepid 10k is disabled and the displayed
user name is (API User | Administrator). HP recommends that you select the Configure for Intrepid
10k check box on the Edit dialog, SNMPv3 tab.
VMware firewall settings may require HCM agent to be restarted
If the firewall settings on port 514 changed in VMware, the HCM Agent must be restarted. VMware
(ESX 3.5 & 4) blocks the Syslog outgoing port 514 by default. If you are using a Syslog Host
configuration or HCM as part of DCFM, the firewall must be configured to allow outgoing port 514
for Syslog.
Use the command esxcfgfirewall -o 514,udp,out,syslog to open port 514 and the
command esxcfgfirewall -c 514,udp,out,syslog to block outgoing traffic through port
514.
HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director support in Professional Plus
DCFM Professional Plus edition can discover, but not manage, the HP DC SAN Backbone chassis.
To manage the device, launch the device Element Manager from the Connectivity Map.
The HP DC SAN Backbone Director cannot be used as a seed switch.
Failover restriction in mixed fabrics
In mixed fabrics, the seed switch must be an FOS switch. If the FOS seed switch becomes unreachable,
and there are no other manageable FOS switches in the fabric, failover to the EOS seed switch cannot
occur. You cannot change the seed switch to EOS manually.
In this situation, to manage the fabric:
1. Disconnect the ISL between the FOS and EOS switches.
2. Unmonitor or delete this fabric.
3. Discover the Pure EOS Fabric by providing the EOS seed switch IP address.
Failover can occur in the following configurations:
•FOS to FOS switches
•EOS to EOS switches
B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 17

•EOS to FOS switches
Displaying logical switches
Logical switches that are created through the Logical Switch dialog are displayed in the existing
Logical Switches Panel > Undiscovered Logical Switch list.
To ensure that logical switches display properly, discover the new logical fabric.
Device Port update in Topology view
In a Non-VF environment, a device port status update can take between 2 and 30 minutes (based on
SAN size) to update in the GUI when all of the following conditions exist:
•The switches are discovered using SNMPv3.
•Soft Serial Number (SSN) is configured.
•EXT MIB is enabled.
To ensure that the GUI is updated within 1 to 3 minutes (based on SAN size), disable EXT MIB.
Updating the FTP server table
Use this procedure only when there is a change in the DCFM server IP (System IP) address. It will
