TAPE Connectivity
AVOID DYNAMIC ZONING CHANGES
As a recommendation, we advise that one avoid making zoning changes to your fabric while data
is being transferred, if possible There may be some risk in job interruption, especially with serial
data during the Registered State Change Notifications (RSCN's) that are produced as a result of
the zone change Some HBA's are more prone to an interruption than others
