Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
WWN Based PID Assignment assigning wrong PID to port in first position
in wwnAddress –show PID binding list.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Problem running traffic over ports after FCIP bounce. FCIP link recovers, but
routes to FC ports do not.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
With SNMP severity set to 3, the DC SAN Backbone director sends out traps
when a core blade is inserted, but not when it is removed.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Limit the number of dynamic paths on
these platforms. If there are more than
16 dynamic paths already on these
platforms, upgrade to the fixed release
could be a cold recovery.
RTWR (Reliable Transport Write and Read) messages are logged when more
than 16 dynamic paths are set up to remote domains on HP 8Gb switches.
You may experience path loss and traffic interruption.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Install FCOE10-24 to lower slot.
When an HP 10/24 FCoE blade is installed in the highest number slot in a
DC SAN Director or DC04 SAN Director, it will not send out any UAs
(unsolicited advertisements), so FCoE traffic will not occur.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Switch displays incorrect information upon
userconfig --show
command
execution. Changes to admin password on a switch are not being recorded
properly (password last change date shows incorrect date).
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Zoning restriction does not work for NPIV/loop ports when one device tries
to get another device's information on the same port using name-based
queries (GID_PN, GID_NN), which could lead to device communication
failures.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Issue
cryptocfg --commit
again to
sync up the VT/VI database across
nodes in the EG.
Host failed to discover tapes due to a VI/VT (Virtual Initiator/Virtual Target)
database mismatch between the switches that are part of the same Encryption
Group (EG). As a result, the host cannot discover tape devices that are part
of the same EG.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In FICON environment, detected termination of process ficud:2658, running
Fabric OS 6.2.0e.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Manually re-enable ports.
Ports on the DC SAN director 48 port 8Gb blade become persistently
disabled after upgrading from Fabric OS 6.2.x to 6.3.x with VF disabled
and fmsmode enabled.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
After moving some servers from backbone to edge, FCR-1022 messages are
seen and devices are no longer getting exported into backbone. If backbone
and edge fabric have different switch PID formats, such as when edge fabric
is in IM2 mode, while backbone fabric is not, un-import a device did not
free up resource. When resource is exhausted, importing another device into
the backbone fails with
[FCR-1022] Local proxy device slot
entries exhausted in raslog
. Both 4Gb and 8Gb FCRs are affected
and are more likely to be seen if there is frequent device offline/online in
edge fabrics.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Termination of non-restartable daemons always triggers failover/reboot for
recovery, Termination of non-VF and non-FSS compliant daemons (raslogd
and traced) always triggers stateless restart. However, in certain cases, cold
recovery can be triggered by the restart of a restartable daemon.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0. New
parameter added to Fabric OS 6.4.0 to
allow adjustment of SFP polling interval
to avoid laser faults.
Enhancement request to add a user selectable parameter to adjust SFP polling
during high CPU load situation.
