Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
After extended EE (Encryption Engine) disable/enable test, ports changed
status to
mod_val
after reboots, causing ISL downtime due to failing to form.
Host may not be able to access LUNs and I/O can be interrupted.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
SERDES changes required for Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem
c-Class support with Brocade 804 8Gb FC HBA for HP BladeSystem c-Class.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
64–bit port status is currently available only in CLI via the
portStats64Show
command. Not exposed through SNMP.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Webd was seen to terminate from time to time, at the same time as HA status
temporarily went to non-redundant, triggering a Call Home event. Webd
was killed by a watchdog as it was waiting for a reply from a busy httpd
and did not have a timeout mechanism. Other than the Call Home event, no
other functional impact observed.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Disable either or both
Locked G_Port
and
Disabled E_Port
features, but
note that this operation is disruptive.
Bottleneckmon
cannot be enabled on F_Ports with
Locked G_Port
and
Disabled E_Port
enabled in
portcfg
.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
With encryption, backup to all clear text containers using
Netbackup
in a
multiplex/stream environment causes an Encryption SAN Switch fault,
resulting in tape flows hanging.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
DCFM encryption support is unable to import large-sized encryption
certificates. When importing certificates containing both the text and Base64
encoded portion of a certificate, the import fails, but DCFM encryption support
reports success.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Issue
slotpoweroff
/
slotpoweron
of encryption blade for CTCs to be
hosted after EG re-creation.
Encryption FC blade in DC SAN type director can fail to properly
accommodate CTC upon EG re-creation. Containers created before EG is
deleted do not show up in the fabric.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
In large configurations, applying a new TI Zone with failover disabled can
cause FCIP performance to get impacted over VEX.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Clear all existing end-to-end monitors on
the switch and try to reinstall the
requested monitors.
Addition of end-to-end monitors through DCFM or CLI fails after an HA
failover, if the monitors were installed on the switch before the failover on
switches with Condor2 ASICs.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Disable tape pipelining.
With tape pipelining enabled, AIX host gets a connection timeout error after
the first write with tape pipelining enabled.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Reboot the Extension SAN Switch or
Multiprotocol Extension Blade.
There is no way to recover device paths with FICON after CHPID cable pull
without
slotpoweroff/on
of the Multiprotocol Extension Blade or a reboot
of the 1606 Extension SAN Switch.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Tape devices are intermittently detected as offline by the host during backup.
Seen in setup where some physical initiators do not register as FC4 type
device and others do.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Unable to disable default zone from Mi10k in IM2 mode after zone merge
failure between Mi10k and Fabric OS switches.
