Firmware Release Notes

Version 1.5.1.04

50207-13 Rev A

This software is licensed by QLogic for use by its customers only.

Version 1.5.1.04 is a feature release for the QLogic SANbox2 switch product line. If

using the SANbox

Manager fabric management application, you must use SANbox

Manager version 1.05.21, or later, in conjunction with this firmware.

Important Notes

1. All SANbox2-16 switches with model numbers ending with the letters A through G

(see below) cannot upgrade to the 1.4, or later, firmware release without contacting

QLogic Technical Support first. Technical Support contact information can be found

at the end of these release notes.

2. This release will be the final release to support out of band GUI connectivity to

SANbox 1Gb switches. When SANbox2 2.0 is released, SANbox 1Gb switches can

be managed by one of two methods:

a) Inband management via a SANbox2 switch, or

b) Out of band management using a 1.05 version of SANbox Manager

3. Caution: When downgrading SANbox2 firmware from 1.4.0.xx, or later firmware

releases, to 1.3.xx, all configuration data is lost and a 4-blink code flashes on the

switch. A backup of the configuration, prior to downgrading to 1.3, is recommended.

Visit the knowledgebase section of our web site at

http://www.qlogic.com/support/knowledge_base.asp or contact QLogic Technical

Support for assistance.

4. Due to upcoming changes in GS-4 for hard zones that will be implemented in the

SANbox2 3.0 release, VPF hard zoning will be removed from the SANbox2 3.0

release. Any existing VPF zones will be automatically converted to ACL zones at that

time.

This letter will determine if a

switch is capable of upgrading

to 1.4, or later, firmware. This

is located on the back of the
