VMware 3.5.0. This issue is corrected with Emulex driver version elx_7.4.0.39 or later, available on the Emulex website and on the VMware website. • HBA may not discover storage target on remote fabric. An Emulex-based HBA running on SUSE 9 does not always find targets on remote fabrics after booting the server. This issue is corrected with Emulex driver version 8.0.16.40_p2 or later. The affected HBAs include: • HP StorageWorks 81E PCle FC HBA • HP StorageWorks 82E PCle FC HBA • HP StorageWorks FC2143 • HP StorageWorks FC2243 • HP StorageWorks FC2142SR • HP StorageWorks FC2242SR • HP 4Gb HBA for HP c-Class BladeSystem • HP Emulex-based BL20p Fibre Channel Mezz HBA • HP Emulex-based BL25/30/35/45p Fibre Channel Mezz HBA • Optical transceivers. Only the HP 8-Gb Short Wave FC SFP+ (part number AJ718A), HP 8-Gb Long Wave 10 km FC SFP+ (part number AW584A), and HP 4-Gb Short Wave FC SFP (part number A7446B) tranceivers are supported for use in the H-series switches. Each switch Fibre Channel port is supported by a data buffer with a 16 credit capacity; that is, 16 maximum sized frames. With the use of a long wave transceiver, this enables full bandwidth over approximately: • 3.3 kilometers at 8 Gb/s (4.8 credits/km) • 6.6 kilometers at 4 Gb/s (2.4 credits/km) • 10 kilometers (limited by the transceiver capability) at 2 Gb/s (1.2 credits/km) The 8-Gb transceivers do not support 1 Gb/s port speed. If the port speed is configured as 1 Gb/s, the port is disabled and its state will be changed to Downed. To correct this, you can configure the port to a supported speed (2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, 8 Gb/s, or auto-detect). • QuickTools stops responding after changing the switch IP address. If you change the IP address of a switch when using QuickTools to access that switch, the QuickTools session at the old IP address stops responding. To access the switch with the new IP address using QuickTools, enter the new IP address in a new browser window. • Java must be enabled in the browser for QuickTools to launch. If Java support or Java scripting support is disabled in the browser, QuickTools will not launch. Ensure that Java support is enabled and/or Java scripting support is enabled. NOTE: The scripting support is called Enable JavaScript in most browsers and Active scripting or Active Web Content in Internet Explorer. • When running QuickTools, Java plug-in caching of temporary files and applets should be disabled. Java caching can cause the wrong version of QuickTools to run. When running QuickTools, Java plug-in caching of temporary files and applets should be disabled. If caching is enabled and a different version of QuickTools is loaded from a switch, the version of QuickTools previously run will load from the cache instead. Also, QuickTools could erroneously display the version number just loaded from the switch. HP StorageWorks H-series SN6000 and 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Release Notes 9

Only the HP 8-Gb Short Wave FC SFP+ (part number AJ718A), HP 8-Gb
Long Wave 10 km FC SFP+ (part number AW584A), and HP 4-Gb Short Wave FC SFP (part
number A7446B) tranceivers are supported for use in the H-series switches.

The 8-Gb transceivers do not support 1 Gb/s port speed. If the port speed is configured as 1
Gb/s, the port is disabled and its state will be changed to

different version of QuickTools is loaded from a switch, the version of QuickTools previously run
will load from the cache instead. Also, QuickTools could erroneously display the version number
