WWN PID static binding was setup on the switch using the wwnaddress -bind command and WWN_A is bound to PID A, and WWN_B is bound to PID B. Almost instantaneously, both ports go offline due to a device "rebalance" and, when the links come back up, WWN to PID binding is swapped. Ports become disabled with the reason Disabled (PPID set on device, other port online with area). Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2. As a result of an external FC port on the encryption SAN switch or blade experiencing an excessive number of encoding CRC errors, the internal ports are faulted incorrectly by switch firmware. This leads to a data encryption virtual initiator associated with the internal port failing to appear in the name server. Workaround prior to upgrade: Remove the condition/cause of the excessive CRC errors (that is, replace cable or SFP). Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2. Rolling asserts occur on 4/256 SAN Director with Multiprotocol Router blade, or on 400 Multiprotocol Router when attempting to connect to an encryption SAN switch via EX_Port. Workaround prior to upgrade: Disable the E_Port on the encryption switch to recover the switch. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2. PLOGI ACC is dropped when there is back-to-back plogin to a well- known address such as msd, nsd, fabric controller, etc., before the switch route setup is completed. The PLOGIs are held in queue without being ACC'd until the route setup is completed, but the issue is that once the setup is done, only one of the PLOGIs is ACC'd and the rest are dropped. Applies to any switch running 6.x Fabric OS, but more likely in directors. This is an unlikely scenario, because most devices do not perform such back-to-back logins early during switch/fabric bring up. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2.
