HP 1606 HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.3.2b Release Notes (5697-0777, November 20 - Page 49

In 8Gb FCR fabrics, If a switch performs an HA failover at the same time as a device in the fabric is continuously issuing a PLOGI to ports that are not online (due to device caching old PIDs and blindly doing login attempts to these PIDs periodically), the switch may drop SCSI command frames across IFL connections after hafailover, while SCSI data frames pass through. This does not happen with normal device plogin to devices already in the name server database, and affects 8Gb FCR only. Workaround prior to upgrade: Remove the device issuing the PLOGI to offline ports from the fabric to avoid the problem. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a. Fabric OS 6.3.2b fixes Table 8 lists defects closed in the Fabric OS 6.3.2b firmware release Table 8 Fabric OS 6.3.2b closed defects Closed defect summary Solution In a dual Inter-fabric Link (IFL) FCR fabric with LSAN Matrix configured and LSAN binding enabled, disabling the EX_Port for one of the IFLs Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. causes all FCR devices to be removed from the name server database. The Tape REC command fails in an FCR environment because the originator source ID in the header and in the body of the TAPE REC command frame do not match, causing the command to fail and resulting in data corruption on the tape. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. The fans on an HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Switch may erroneously be flagged as bad and get logged with a[PLAT5042], FAN I2C reset error code in the Raslog, even though they are operating properly. Workaround prior to upgrade: Reseat the fans to allow them to recover from the faulty state. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. The Switchshow command reports the switch port state as "Mod_Val" rather than "Online" after a switch reboot test and ISL fails to form. This applies to all switches except the HP 8/8 Base (0) e-port SAN Switch, HP 8/8 (8)-ports Enabled SAN Switch, HP 8/24 Base 16-ports Enabled SAN Switch, HP 8/40 Base 24-ports Enabled SAN Switch, and the HP 8/40 Power Pack+ 24-ports SAN Switch. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. Tape backups fail intermittently when there are multiple FCRs connected to the same edge fabric. This is caused by failure to translate the Proxy Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. PID in the ACC payload of a TAPE REC command. Weblinker processes terminate with a core dump and then restart when Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. querying Top Talker information from a switch. On 8 Gb platforms, a host on the backbone FCR is unable to discover its targets after an HA failover or code upgrade occurs on the backbone FCR. This is caused by the Domain table routing entry accidentally being cleared on an EX_Port after hafailover, preventing the backbone hosts from discovering their targets. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. On the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch, kacd crashes and the switch reboots during online rekey and HA Cluster failover/ failback. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b.
