After Cisco UCS Manager Upgrade to 2.1.X , FC and SAN disconnected due to Zoning behavior changed

How dare Cisco totally changed FC Zoning behavior in from 2.0 to 2.1 without warning, migration wizard or default allowing policy!!!!

It is totally not possible to upgrade to 2.1 without putting the whole SAN offline!

Once UCS Manager reboot according to follow manual, it block all FC traffic from Blade to SAN Storage.
And Cisco didn't add any warning here telling FC Zoning behavior will be changed. It still telling in the manual could upgrade without affecting service.
