HP StorageWorks 2.32 Edge Switch - Manual (Page 82)

Configuring the switch 82
Suppress zoning RSCNs on zone set activations
Fabric format domain RSCNs are sent to ports on the switch following any change to the fabric's
active zone set. These changes include activating and deactivating the zone set, or enabling and
disabling the default zone. When the Suppress RSCNs on Zone Set Activations check box contains
a check, fabric format RSCNs are not sent for zone changes to the attached devices on the switch.
Click the check box to remove or add a check.
In general, RSCNs should not be suppressed, so that attached devices can receive notification of
zoning changes in the fabric. However, some HBAs may log out, then log back into the fabric when
they receive an RSCN, thereby disrupting Fibre Channel traffic. Consult with your HBA and storage
device vendor to determine if zone set change RSCNs will cause problems with your HBA or storage
products.
Configuring fabric parameters
The Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box enables you to configure the Fibre Channel operating
parameters.
