Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
A Host times out its login and issues an ABTS after it is brought online when
multiple PLOGIns to well known addresses are received back-to-back before
routes are established and there is no ACCept sent back by the management
server. This is typcially seen with hosts that issue fast logins, such as in
mainframe FICON environments.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
During a host reboot, the host may not come up when connected to HP
StorageWorks 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches and 4Gb embedded switches.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
Compact flash failures are not always reported; only critical daemon failures
are visible, which then trigger a failover (occasionally no failures are seen
at all). The switch continues operating, and does not produce any logs.

Web Linker processes terminate (core dump) and then restart when
Management Applications (DCFM, etc.) query Top Talker information using
CAL requests over HTTP.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
Host ports can experience slow performance after enabling and then disabling
Top Talker. This is accompanied by class 3 frame rejects showing in the
portlogdump
.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
The switch is unable to reboot due to core files exceeding the size of the
Compact Flash (CF), which corrupt the Fabric OS system files.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
A directional route problem in the fabric causes the switch to go into a
disabled state without logging a reason. However, messages indicating that
RTWR has reached max retries appear in the RASLOG.

On 4Gb switches, switch panics occur after an Information Unit (IU) allocation
failure.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
Using a value of
0xffffffff
for the N_Port topology in the config file
causes the
configdownload
command to fail on an HP StorageWorks
Encryption switch in Access Gateway mode with SRDF enabled. The error
is:
strtoul failed str 0xffffffff, errno =2 aglib_strtobm
failed for ag.pg.pgporttopo.0 value = 0xffffffff
configDownload: agImport() failed key = ag.pg.pgp.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.

StorageWorks B-series Multiprotocol Router Blade can result in a loss of sync
causing the blade to be rebooted.
The internal RASLOG will have FCIP-5030 messages indicating that the
Multiprotocol Router Blade has lost heartbeat with the CP. The switch is

Ambiguous text appears in Web Tools for
Dynamic Load Sharing
and
Lossless
in the Switch Administration Routing tab. The
DLS
label must be removed
from the
Dynamic Load Sharing
and
Lossless
group boxes.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.1.
QoS circuits running over a 1G/10G bandwidth circuit have incorrect QoS
distributions with large I/O, resulting in QoS priority traffic distribution not
being enforced properly over an FCIP Tunnel. Customer using QoS zoning
may see performance issues.
