Dell PowerVault 56F (16P Fibre Channel Switch) - Manual (Page 2)

connected to the network, you are disconnected from the
switch. You must reboot the switch to reestablish the
network connection parameters.
* The switch cannot respond to any keyboard commands if
the scroll lock is turned on.
* Remove the RS232 serial cable after configuring the
Internet Protocol (IP) address. Attaching the cable to an
operational switch can cause port errors and degrade
performance.
* The command line interface (CLI) does not support keyboard
buffering. Wait for the command prompt to appear before
issuing a switch command.
* When creating zone elements, new elements should be
committed to the switch's configuration before adding them to
other zone elements. This will avoid the possibility of zone
corruption in the event that the zone element was incorrectly
created. When the changes are committed, a check is performed
against the new zone element.

TECHNICAL UPDATES FOR DELL POWERVAULT SWITCH MANAGER
=============================================================
The following information relates to operating the Dell
PowerVault Switch Manager.
NOTE: You can administer switch and fabric using either the
Telnet CLI or the Dell PowerVault Switch Manager, but do not
use both methods at the same time. The CLI and the PowerVault
Switch Manager operate differently, especially in zoning
operations.
* Deleting an active configuration using the Telnet CLI
"cfgDelete" removes the configuration only from nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM). This does not disable the
configuration. The PowerVault Switch Manager does not allow
a user to create a configuration with the same name until the
configuration is disabled ("cfgDisable") and the settings are
saved ("cfgSave").
* When you launch the PowerVault Switch Manager from a
PowerVault 50F switch, the Switch Manager does not give
access to either the "Zone Administration" or "Name
Server Table" controls. In a mixed SAN with PowerVault 50F
and 51F/56F switches, start the Switch Manager from a Dell
PowerVault 51F/56F Fibre Channel Switch to take full advantage
of the Switch Manager functionality.
* When you launch a "Fabric View Page" from a PowerVault
50F switch, the icons for all the switches in the fabric
appear the same regardless of the switch type. Clicking one
of these icons correctly launches the "General Switch View
Page" of the switch specified by the IP address.
* When you launch a "Fabric View Page" from a PowerVault
51F switch, an icon for a PowerVault 50F switch appears to
have 16 ports. This is a cosmetic issue. Clicking on one
of these icons correctly launches the "Switch View."
