Supported Configurations
8Director Release Notes
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 in a single fabric is 24. Because this number is subject to change,
contact your 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 7. The maximum
supported hop count in a single path through a fabric is 3. Because this
number is subject to change, contact your HP authorized service
representative for the current hop count supported by a single fabric path.
Note: 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
9Director Release Notes
Cable Requirements
Note: Please note that 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 use either LC or SC type, depending on the requirements of
the connected device.

Important Information
11Director Release Notes
Before upgrading firmware, see section “Upgrading Firmware on a Director” for
upgrade instructions.
All products must be running firmware Version 04.00.00 or higher before
upgrading to Version 05.02.00-13.
All products must be running Version 02.00.00 or higher before upgrading to
Version 04.01.02-04. Upgrading to Version 04.01.02-04 from Version 02.00.00 or
higher is nondisruptive to attached devices.
Firmware that predates the 01.03.00 or 01.04.00 firmware release must first be
upgraded to a 01.03.xx or 01.04.xx firmware version, and then upgraded to
Version 02.00.00 or higher, before the upgrade to Version 04.01.02-04 can be
completed.
A small number of early-shipped Surestore Director FC-64 units may receive one
of the following messages when they upgrade to Firmware V05.02.00-13:
■HAFM – Firmware cannot be loaded due to insufficient
CTP memory.
■EWS – File System Error: Insufficient memory for new
firmware version.
This would only occur in certain units with CTP cards. Units with CTP2 cards
will not have this issue.
If you get one of these messages during the upgrade, the firmware upgrade failed,
but the unit continues working with the existing firmware without an interruption
in service. The upgrade process checks for sufficient memory before activating the
new Firmware image. The Firmware upgrade will not complete without sufficient
memory. Please contact HP customer support if you receive this message.
Considerations for Downgrading the Version of Firmware
Directors and edge switches are not required to be offline before performing a
firmware downgrade operation. Limitations to downgrades are clearly identified if
there are any limitations to performing the operation.
Before downgrading firmware, it is highly recommended that you back up the
edge switch or director configuration in the event that a failure should occur. Refer
to the switch or director Product Manager user guide for more information.
Embedded Web Server (EWS) also provides an option to print or save product
configuration to a file. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User
Guide for more information.

Important Information
12 Director Release Notes
Downgrading directly to a version prior to 04.00.00 from Version 05.02.00-13 is
not allowed. To downgrade to a version prior to 04.00.00, you must first
downgrade to Version 04.YY.ZZ.
Note: The Director 2/140 and Edge Switch 2/24 cannot be downgraded below
Version 04.01.00.
Downgrading directly to a version prior to 02.00.00 from Version 04.YY.ZZ is not
allowed. To downgrade to a version prior to 02.00.00, you must first downgrade to
Version 02.YY.ZZ.
Firmware downgrades should not be performed using EWS and Microsoft®
Internet Explorer Version 5.00.3315.1000x. If this operation is performed, the
download operation may not complete and may eventually time-out, leaving the
switch with the previous version of firmware.
NVRAM Validation Errors
Firmware Version 05.02.00-13 contains an enhancement that eliminates outages
in certain types of NVRAM failures. In Version 05.01.00-24, when the NVRAM
validation routine detects an error in the configuration data, it faults the processor.
On director products this results in a failover to the redundant CTP card, with no
interruption of Fibre Channel service. On switch products with no redundant CTP,
the processor IPLs and resets the configuration to factory defaults.
Firmware Version 05.02.00-13 implements a new correction algorithm, that
allows the switch to automatically recover from errors detected during system
runtime. If an error is detected during the validation process, the firmware uses the
configuration data stored in DRAM to refresh NVRAM. When this occurs, the
processor does not fault, no IPL occurs, and an event is logged. Fibre Channel
operation is not impacted.
If a validation error is discovered on the same CTP twice during a one-hour period
on a director product, the CTP will fault and fail over to the backup. If multiple
errors within an hour occur on a switch product, the unit will fault and be reset to
factory defaults.

Important Information
13Director Release Notes
Upgrading Firmware on a Director
An issue has been identified in release 04.xx.xx if the contents of the nonvolatile
storage (NVRAM) on the active CTP become corrupted. Once the configuration
has been loaded, this corruption is not detected until an IPL/IML, power cycle, or
Firmware code load. If the NVRAM in the active CTP has corrupted contents, the
firmware load can cause the configuration to reset to factory defaults, which could
cause a system outage. By using the following procedure to upgrade firmware,
configuration can be preserved and a system outage can be avoided. This issue is
corrected with Version 05.02.00-13 firmware.
Note: Step 4 of the following procedure is not required if you are upgrading from
Version 05.xx.xx or later.
To safely upgrade Firmware on a director:
1. Upgrade HAFM software on the HAFM server/appliance to Version 07.01.00
(minimum).
2. Download Firmware V05.02.00-13 using the Firmware Library option
under the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
3. Back up the director configuration using the Backup & Restore
Configuration option under the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
4. Using the Product Manager, execute a CTP swap:
Note: Step 4 is not required if you are upgrading from any version of release 05.xx.xx.
Note: You must have maintenance authorization rights to access HAFM Product
Manager menu options used in this procedure.
a. From Product Manager Hardware view, verify that an amber LED
indicator does not display for either CTP card.
b. Right-click the CTP card you believe to be active. From the right-click
pop-up menu, choose FRU Properties. Verify that it is the active CTP
card.

Important Information
14 Director Release Notes
c. Right-click the active CTP card and choose Switchover from the pop-up
menu.
Note: The director will lose its Ethernet connection for a short period during the
switchover process.
d. On the Switchover CTP dialog box, choose Switchover to switch
operation to the backup card.
When switchover occurs, the green LED illuminates on the backup CTP
card to indicate that it is now the active card.
5. Upgrade the Firmware to Version 05.02.00-13 on each director using the Send
option on the Firmware Library dialog box.
HAFM Upgrade Required for Firmware Version 05.02.00-13
If you are using HAFM to manage the Director 2/140, Director 2/64, Edge Switch
2/32, Edge Switch 2/24, and/or Edge Switch 2/16, and they are running firmware
Version 05.02.00-13, you need to upgrade HAFM to Version 07.01.00-09
(minimum). For more information on upgrading software versions, refer to the HP
StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide. The features of this software
version are detailed in the accompanying manuals listed in section “Other
Director Documentation”.
Open Trunking Feature is Not Available in Current Release
The Open Trunking feature is not available in Firmware Version 05.02.00-13.
Open Trunking feature will be available in a future release.
Zoning is Disabled by Default
The default zone on the Director 2/64 and the Director 2/140 is disabled by
default. Zoning must be configured in order for any devices connected to the
director to communicate.

Important Information
15Director Release Notes
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
server/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 server/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 Version
05.01.00-24 that prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard
Zoning is enabled by default when using firmware Version 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, 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 will
be fabric rejected, and a Class 3 frame will be dropped.
Zoning Change RSCN Control
Normally, when a zone set is activated, a fabric format domain Register State
Change Notification (RSCN) is sent to all devices in the fabric. With firmware
Version 05.01.00-24 or later, you can disable these RSCNs from being sent. This
is done using the Suppress RSCNs on zone set activations check box on the
Configure Switch Parameters dialog box.
This feature significantly changes the normal behavior of the fabric. Devices will
have no warning when zones change and will not automatically update their
zoning information. The ability to suppress RSCNs is disabled (check box is not
selected) by default. This feature can be configured through HA-Fabric Manager
(HAFM), Embedded Web Server (EWS), and the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Important Information
16 Director Release Notes
Embedded Web Server (EWS) Changes
With firmware Version 05.01.00-24 or later, the EWS now provides support for
configuration of Port Binding. The zoning interface has also been enhanced to
allow you to easily add members to a zone that are not directly attached to the
locally managed switch. You are presented with a list of all devices that are logged
in to the fabric. You can select these devices for addition to a zone.
Command Line Interface (CLI) Changes
CLI has been enhanced to provide the following benefits:
■Access to symbolic name information in the name server database.
■Counter Threshold Alerts (CTA)—Used to configure limits and alerts for
any of the supported port statistics fields. You can configure alerts for
individual ports, groups of ports, or various port types, based on
user-specified counter value exceeded over a specified time duration.
Note: The CTA configuration is cleared upon downgrade to firmware below
05.01.00.
SNMP Changes
Firmware Version 05.02.00-13 supports the following management information
base (MIB) versions on all products:
■Fabric Element MIB: V1.1
■MIB-II MIB: RFC-1213, non-implemented sections are not included
■FCEOS MIB: V2.0
■SNMP Framework MIB: RFC-2271 (1997/09/30)
■FA MIB: V3.1

Important Information
17Director Release Notes
Zoning Limitations
Firmware Version 05.02.00-13 includes the ability to configure large zone sets,
including up to 1024 zones and 1024 end ports in a single zone set. Table 2 shows
the supported limits for the edge switches and directors.
Note: Hard Zoning will be enforced upon firmware initialization. Devices not
conforming to zoning rules will be restricted to their assigned zones.
Table 2: Zoning Parameters Supported Limits
Note: The supported number of zones is based on a zone name with a maximum of
32 characters. On all edge switches and directors except the Director 2/140, the
maximum number of zones decreases if full 64 character names are used. The
supported limits are based on two members per zone.
Zone set sizes are affected by the number of zones in the zone set, the length of
each zone name, the number of members in each zone, and the Interoperability
mode of the fabric. Please consult with HP Professional Services or your support
representative if you have questions regarding specific zone set configurations.
Zoning Parameter Maximum Value
Number of end ports 1024
Unique zone members 1024
Members per zone 1024
Zones 1024
Number of zone sets 64
Maximum devices supported 1024

Important Information
18 Director Release Notes
Using the Same Firmware
All switches and directors in the same fabric should have the same firmware level
installed—whether 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps capable.
The only exception is the recently released HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/12,
which currently has an interim firmware version specific for the Edge
Switch 2/12, Version 05.05.00-12. This firmware cannot be used for any other
edge switch or director. This interim version is compatible with firmware Versions
05.01.00-24 and 05.02.00-13 used for the rest of the M-Series Fabric products.
The next major firmware release will be a common firmware version for all the
M-Series Fabric products.
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 Binding).
Disconnecting the Null Modem Cable
Always log out and disconnect the Null Modem cable from the serial maintenance
port when not in use or when the switch is reset.
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.

Known Issues
19Director Release Notes
Known Issues
This section describes the known issues related to the Director 2/64 and
Director 2/140.
Embedded Web Server access to modify zones is limited to first 255
zones
If you have an active zone set of greater than 255 zones, you will not be able to
access the zones past the 255th zone using the Embedded Web Server (EWS). The
higher number zone names are listed, but when accessed to modify the zone (for
example, the zone that would be numbered “n”), you will get the zone member list
for the (n-255) zone. This will be corrected in a future firmware release.
Workaround
Using HAFM to manage directors and edge switches will allow you to modify
zones in zone sets with greater than 255 zones.
SNMP trap reports incorrect FRU position
When an SNMP trap is sent and reports a FRU position number, the reported
number is one greater than the actual FRU position that caused the SNMP trap to
be issued.
Workaround
None.

Known Issues
20 Director Release Notes
Director 2/140 Maintenance Port Baud Rate may be Set Incorrectly
The maintenance port is only used to set the IP address information in the
Director 2/140. Occasionally the maintenance port of the Director 2/140 may be
set at an incorrect baud rate. The expected baud rate is 115,200 bps, but the baud
rate may be set to 57,600 bps.
Workaround
If communication with the maintenance port of the Director 2/140 is not
established at a baud rate of 115,200 bps, change the baud rate of the serial
communication application being used (for example, HyperTerminal) to

Downgrading Firmware in Director 2/140 may Cause Database Event
Downgrading a Director 2/140 from firmware Version 05.02.00-13 to Version
04.01.02-04 occasionally may cause event 021 (name server database invalid) or
event 061 (controller database invalid). These effects are temporary as the
databases recover on their own. There are no other impacts to these events when
downgrading firmware.
Upgrading Firmware in Director 2/64 may Time-out if Very Busy
When upgrading firmware on Director 2/64 which is very busy with fabric
operations, the firmware upgrade may time-out. If subsequent attempts fail with a
report of file transfer is already in progress, see workaround.
Workaround
If a firmware upgrade has timed out on Director 2/64 and subsequent attempts fail
with a report of file transfer is already in progress, issue an
IPL via the HAFM application to the director to clear the hung upgrade. Perform
the firmware upgrade at a time when the fibre channel fabric is not as busy. You
can also use the Embedded Web Server feature to download the firmware to the
director, which runs at a higher priority and is not affected by a busy fabric.
