Fabric OS v7.0.1a Release Notes v1.0 Page 6 of 74

New Feature Descriptions

Enhanced Optical ICL Topology Support for DCX 8510

FOS v7.0.1 supports the following enhanced topologies using optical ICLs:

Support for up to nine DCX 8510 chassis in full mesh configuration using optical ICLs

Support for ICL connectivity with up to ten DCX 8510 chassis in core-edge topology

This increased support delivers massive scalability, significantly reduces cabling complexity, and also makes

more ports available for device connectivity.

FOS v7.0.1 also adds support for Enterprise ICL license on DCX 8510 platforms. Description of this license can

be found in the ―Optionally Licensed Software‖ section of this document.

Support for Dynamic Fabric Provisioning: Fabric Assigned World Wide Name

In order to simplify and accelerate server deployment and improve operational efficiency, FOS v7.0.1 provides

Fabric Assigned WWN or FA-PWWN capability. This feature allows users to create a virtual WWN for a server

instead of using the server’s physical port WWN (PWWN) to create zoning and LUN mapping/masking. When a

FA-PWWN capable server is attached to the SAN, this feature allows the fabric to assign this virtual WWN to

that server. This feature requires servers to be using Brocade HBAs/Adapters. Please consult Brocade

HBA/Adapter driver documentation and Release Notes to confirm minimum requirements for this feature. For

Brocade Network Advisor support, please consult Brocade Network Advisor documentation and Release Notes.

VCS/VDX6730 to FC SAN Connectivity

This feature enables connectivity between hosts (using FCoE) connected to VCS/VDX platforms and FC storage

connected to FC SAN via FCR. An E-port on a VDX6730 platform running NOS v2.1.1 is connected to an

EX_port on an FCR running FOS v7.0.1 to enable this functionality.

Note:

Integrated Routing license is not required to share devices between VDX/VCS Ethernet fabric and FC

SAN fabric.

It is recommended to use 5300, DCX/DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, DCX 8510-4 for FCR functionality for

higher scalability.

A new FCR EX_port mode 5 is used to connect VCS/VDX6730 to FCR

FCIP Enhancements

FOS v7.0.1 enables ESCON and Bus/Tag printer emulation support on FCIP platforms.

This feature provides near native performance for FICON Extended paths to remote ESCON or Bus and Tag

printers. Enabling FICON Printer emulation requires the Advanced FICON Acceleration license. This feature is

supported on 7800 and FX8-24.
