Tape performance is degraded after a tape drive has been idle for a few hours and then traffic is restarted on an HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. Users are unable to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on a switch with only an IPv6 address configured. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b. The output of the switchstatusshow command reports an invalid switch status rather than the "marginal" status when application blades go down. This is caused by the Fabric Watch blade handler monitor mishandling the status of application blades. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b.
