400 Configuring interoperability mode
Supported features
The following features are supported on HP StorageWorks switches in interoperability mode:
•
Fabric Watch
•
Fabric Access API functions
Accessible from HP StorageWorks switches only, but switch information for non- HP StorageWorks
switches is reported. The object information and zoning actions are configurable from the API.
•
Brocade translative mode
Registers private storage target devices into the fabric, it can be used in a heterogeneous fabric if the
devices are connected directly to HP StorageWorks switches. The devices will be accessible from any
port on the fabric.
Unsupported HP StorageWorks Features
In a heterogeneous fabric, the following optional features are not supported and cannot be installed on
any HP StorageWorks switch in the fabric:
•
Extended Edge PID format
•
Quickloop and QuickLoop Zoning
•
Secure Fabric OS
•
Timer Server function
•
Open E_Port
•
Broadcast Zoning
•
Management Server Service and FDMI
•
QuickLoop Fabric Assist
•
Remote Switch
•
Extended Fabrics
•
Trunking
•
Alias Server
•
Platform Service
•
Virtual Channels
•
FCIP
Configuration recommendations
The following is recommended when configuring an interoperable fabric:
•
Avoid domain ID conflicts before fabric reconfiguration. Every switch in the fabric must have a unique
domain ID.
•
When you are configuring multiple switches, you should wait for a fabric reconfiguration after adding
or removing each switch.
Configuration restrictions
In interoperable fabrics, the following restrictions apply:
•
Do not use Extended Edge PID mode.
•
There is an architecture maximum of 31 switches.
•
Domain IDs must be in the 97 to 127 value range for successful connection to McData switches. The
firmware automatically assigns a valid domain ID, if necessary, when the
interopmode
command is
enabled on the switch.
•
The
fabricShow
command only shows the WWN and domain ID for McDATA switches. No IP
address or switch name information is provided. Switches show all parameters.
•
If you are managing zoning from your HP StorageWorks switch, then all HP StorageWorks switches
must have at least one direct connection to another HP StorageWorks switch. For example, you cannot
