HP StorageWorks B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Professional 10.1.x Release Notes (5697-0804 July 2009 - includes all 10.1.x versions)

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 best practice, HP recommends that you shut down clients that are
not actively 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 normal
fabric settings.
Performance Data Aging tab has been removed from Server Management
Console
You cannot configure the Performance Data Aging settings in DCFM 10.1.4. The tab has been removed
from Server Management Console (SMC). The default configuration settings are as follows:
• 288 samples in a 5-minute period (1 day)
• 144 samples in a 30-minute period (3 days)
• 84 samples in a 2-hour period (1 week)
• 90 samples in a 1-day period (3 months)
• 606 total samples
When migrating from an earlier release to DCFM 10.1.4, all historical data will be truncated with
respect to the default samples, and the aging configuration will not be migrated.
2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch zoning
DCFM 10.1.4 only supports discovery for the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switches. To set up
zoning for the CEE ports, perform the following steps:
1. On the CEE fabric, set the Connected End Devices option to Show All.
2. Set the Port Display option to Occupied Product Ports.
3. In the Zoning dialog box, move the FCoE device ports or FCoE devices from the Potential Members
panel to the Zones panel.
