10 SAN Switch 2/8 Version 3.0.2k Release Notes

hp StorageWorks SAN Switch Software v3.0.2k CD

The hp SAN Switch 2/8 ships with the latest version of the firmware installed. A

copy of the latest version of the firmware as of this date, v3.0.2k, is also contained

on the hp StorageWorks SAN Switch Software v3.0.2k CD, part number

AG-RR86C-BE. The v3.0.2k firmware is also available on the HP website at:

http://www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/hubs-and-bridges/firmwareupdate.html

v3.0.2k Firmware Overview

Firmware v3.0.2k works with HP StorageWorks 2 Gb switch models only. The

firmware will not work if loaded onto HP StorageWorks 1 Gb switch models.

Additionally, firmware release v3.0.2k provides fixes for problems associated

with v3.0.2j.

Firmware v3.0.2k Updates

Enhancements to firmware V3.0.2k include:

■3.0.2k provides support for the hp StorageWorks MSA SAN switch 2/8.

■Fan errors no longer display after a specific interval (414 days) of run time.

■Extends name service query time to 1 second from 0.12 second.

■No longer sends PDISK to a single Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (ALPA)

on a single port on the switch.

■Supports both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator Browsers.

■Commands are insensitive to letter case. For example, the command line

accepts fabricshow as well as fabricShow.

■Active Zone Configuration Warning: Web Tools now issues a warning before

disabling an active zone configuration. This lowers the risk that a Zoned

Fabric may become un-zoned. A "Confirm Zone Delete" window appears

confirming deletion of a zone. The window also notifies the user that the

specified zone member will be removed from corresponding configurations.

The user should click Yes to continue, and No to cancel the zone delete.
