Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
After a non-disruptive firmware upgrade, when a port on an HP StorageWorks
1606 SAN Extension Switch is changed from EX_Port to NPIV, NPIV devices
cannot log in to the switch.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In a FICON environment, FMS cache on standby CTP can become corrupted.
Host in-band operations that include
portname
updates may fail. Portnames
in the active and/or IPL configuration may contain unexpected data.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
8/24 SAN switch in AG mode detected termination of process agd0:1784.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In a FICON environment, IO/Ops is not displaying E_Ports on MVS Console.
Incorrect data presented to mainframe operator console.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Brocade_Switch SMI CAL call returns error message due to not receiving all
properties from the switch when gateway is not configured.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In a FICON environment, IPL file save from Web Tools fails -
File content
invalid
error. Attempt to save IPL file from the WT CUP Port Connectivity,
File Directory edit window, fails. The save button is enabled only when ASM
mode is off, which is correct. But an error is being returned on the file save
attempt -
File content is invalid. Cannot save PDCM
configuration file.
.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Operation and Network Maintenance Daemon (ONMD) crashed when links
were coming up, as a result of saving the configuration with LLDP disabled
on HP StorageWorks 2408 FCoE switch or 10/24 FCoE blade.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
ficud terminated - -- FICUD - CONFIGURATION S4 TIMEOUT
DETECTED
. CUP unresponsive to FICON host. Timeout IFCCs incurred on
host systems. Active CTP termination and failover.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Disable FICON XRC Emulation.
FICON emulation does not handle the abort sequence correctly, which causes
DSO FICON CRC errors during XRC RRS processing. Eventually, the session
that encountered the error becomes suspended.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In a FICON environment, Fabric OS does not generate RLIR to any LIRR
registrant after receiving DRLIR from EOS switches. RLIRs for incidents
originating on attached EOS switches are not reported to FICON host systems
via registered host channel paths attached to Fabric OS platforms
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
After 8Gb blade fault with HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director, DC SAN
Director or DC04 SAN Director, port was taken offline at asic level, but
offline SCN (State Change Notification) was not sent to routing module,
fspfd, fabricd, which created an inconsistent view between application and
kernel on the port state of the faulted blade. Leads to Switch not ready for F
or L port message with replacement blade.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In FICON environment, Fabric OS is not generating RLIRs for link incidents
on cascaded Fabric OS switches in IM0.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Internal buffer corruption in zoned during zone merge process causes zone
merge failure and switch panic.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
No cascaded FICON CUP connectivity on 4/256 director with 8Gb blade
when E_Port and F_Port are on different ASICs on the blade.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Switch panic occurs when management application performs repeat FCP
LUN emulation queries. If the device gives an inappropriate response, or no
response, to an FCP LUN request, FCP Daemon retries the query and the
thread becomes stuck. Any new FCP LUN request that is issued from the
management application generates a new thread. Eventually, FCP Daemon
generates up to the maximum number of allowed threads, leading to the
switch panic.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Licenses removed during firmware downgrade from Fabric OS 6.3.0b to
6.2.0e.
