Table notes:
1
All zoning and fabric operations in a fabric with products running older versions of Fabric OS
should be performed using interfaces to products running the latest version of Fabric OS. This is
important for Brocade 3xxx series switches that do not support zoning configuration for newer
products.
2
When directly attached to a host or target that is part of an encryption flow.
3
Products operating with Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.3.1b or 6.1.0e cannot participate in
a logical fabric that is using XISLs (in the base fabric).
4
These platforms cannot be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
5
HP Network Advisor 11.1.3 is the minimum version required to manage the SN3000B 16 Gb
FC Switch and the HP SN8000B 8 Gb 32-port and 48-port Enhanced FC Blades. HP Network
Advisor 12.0.0 is the minimum version required to manage the HP StoreFabric SN65000B 16Gb
FC Switch.
6
If operating with FOS v6.2.2e or earlier, Adaptive Networking QoS must be disabled when
connecting to 16 Gb FC platforms. Otherwise, ISL will segment.
7
DCFM 10.4.x cannot manage switches running Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later. Network Advisor
11.1.0 or later must be used to manage these switches.
8
The HP B-series MP Router Blade (FR4-18i) and the HP SAN Director 6 Port 10Gb ISL Blade
(FC10-6) are not supported on the DC SAN Backbone Director/DC04 SAN Director with Fabric
OS v7.1 or later.
9
To benefit from the enhanced IPsec capability, the minimum required firmware version is Fabric
OS 7.1.0a. When running any previous Fabric OS versions, this blade behaves exactly as the HP
DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade (FX8-24).
