Closed fixes summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0.
In a FICON environnent, Port faults are logged continuously when
switchenable is followed directly by fmsenable where fmsenable is
being invoked before the F-Ports have had a chance to come online.
Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0.
Random errors occur while performing Access Gateway F-N port
mapping operations from WebTools.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Create
logical switches with SMIA disabled.
Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0.
EVMD panics due to message queue full on standby CP during logical
switch creation. Customers may experience HA Failover, but there is
no disruption in functionality when this occurs.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Perform
a switch disable/enable on switches
where the targets are attached.
Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0.
In a large scale fabric with multiple VEx ports or non-trunked Ex-Ports
to the same edge fabric, an FCR device import processing logic is
duplicated for each port and takes a long time to complete for all
devices. This may cause delays in hosts discovering all targets over
the IFLs and devices could be stuck in the initialization state after the

In an encryption environment, boot over SAN may fail when there is
no connection to the key vault.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Reboot
the switch.
