Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
ifName
value returned for xGBE port in Web Tools does not match CLI
output.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Copper 1-GbE SFP can get into an illegal state on Extension SAN Switch
where no LED light is shown, but port is online and working.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Use
portdisable
and
portenable
after inserting supported SFP.
GbE ports on HP StorageWorks Extension SAN Switch or Multiprotocol
Extension Blade continually
showail No_Sync
status if non-B-series SFP
was inserted and then replaced with B-series SFP.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Disable and then enable the target.
When a host in a backbone fabric with a pair of Multiprotocol Extension
blades, 1606 extension SAN switches, or a combination of the two is
rebooted, it is unable to discover targets in the edge fabric due to timing
window where a SID zone miss could drop a frame. If initiator does not retry
PLOGI, it fails to discover targets in the edge fabric.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
NPIV tape devices may not be seen by hosts due to name server not sending
subsequent PLOGI ACC following a sequence where NPIV device sends
LOGO before link down.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Set suid permissions for ethmode:
chmod
+s /fabos/libexec/ethmode
.
After upgrade to Fabric OS 6.x, rsh using user credential gets
ifmodeshow
eth0: ioctl (ETHTOOL_GSET) failed
error in response to
ifmodeshow
command. Telnet and rsh with root credential work fine.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch or encryption blade drops frames
received from the host when the back-end tape becomes unresponsive.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
When an unsupported SFP is installed in an HP StorageWorks DC SAN
Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade, the amber LED flashes to indicate a
fault, as it should. However, if an optical cable is plugged into the SFP, the
amber LED extinguishes. The actual port status is unchanged.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Use CLI to view the configured IOD state
when IOD is enabled with Lossless DLS.
When Lossless DLS is enabled, Web Tools incorrectly shows
iodset off
,
but the CLI shows that it is enabled.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In a rare circumstance with a switch running Fabric Watch, a panic can
occur after fwd terminated with exit code:134, exit sig:17, and parent sig:0
when IPC buffer is overrun on a busy system.

With an HP StorageWorks 1606 SAN Extension Switch and an Multiprotocol
Extension Blade, smart data for GE-type ports (such as SFP temperature and
power) are not updated in
sfpshow
by the automatic polling loop.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0
In a 2408 FCoE Switch and a 10/24 FCoE Blade, when CNA sends FIP
ver=0, the switch should not validate the MAC descriptor field for backwards
compatibility, but it does, leading to the switch rejecting the login.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0

Fabric Watch sometimes logs messages with values above 100%. Most likely
occurs during first Fabric Watch polling cycle after a
slotstatsclear
command is issued.

in FCoE Blades.
