Changing from Fabric OS Native to Access Gateway mode

•

Enabling Access Gateway mode is a disruptive process because the switch is disabled and
rebooted.Once you enable the SAN I/O Module in Access Gateway mode, only a limited subset
of Fabric OS commands are available and all fabric-related service requests are forwarded to
the fabric switches. See the Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide for more information.

•

When you enable Access Gateway mode some fabric information is erased, such as the zone
and security databases. To recover the information save the switch configuration before
enabling Access Gateway mode.
