Secure Fabric OS feature not compatible with Fabric OS 6.x and later
Fabric OS 5.3.x is the last Fabric OS version compatible with SFOS. However, all of the security
features of SFOS have been fully integrated into the base Fabric OS, starting with Fabric OS 5.3.x.
For environments with SFOS installed on switches that cannot be upgraded to Fabric OS 5.3 or
later version, FC routing can be used to interoperate with Fabric OS 6.2.2f.
Zoning and fabric operations
When configuring zoning or other fabric-wide settings in a fabric that has products operating with
different versions of Fabric OS, HP recommends that you perform the configuration through an
interface (such as Web Tools) to a product with the most recent version of Fabric OS. Some older
versions of Fabric OS do not fully support newer hardware models, and problems may arise when
configuring settings through these older products.
NOTE: Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that
has products operating with newer versions of Fabric OS.
Secure Fabric OS feature not compatible with Fabric OS 6.x and later 13
