Solution

Closed fixes summary

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0a.

CRC and/or CDR-5021 errors seen on HP StorageWorks DC SAN

Backbone Director Switch, HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director

Switch, or the HP 8/40 SAN Switch switch platforms.

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0a.

The HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director 64-port 8 Gbps FC Blade is

set to FAULTY 51 after removal/insertion of that blade in an HP

SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch or HP SN8000B 8-

Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch chassis with diagpost on.

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0a.

The FIPS firmware integrity check has gaps in coverage.

Workaround prior to upgrade:

Restart

storage with VI/VT members (HP

StorageWorks Encryption SAN

Switch) online.

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0.

Disabling or powering off the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch

causes the SVC nodes to go offline and into service mode.

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0a.

In a FICON environment, the active config is out of synch with Fabric

OS indicating a port is blocked after HA Failover.

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0a.

The HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch is set to faulty, due to

I/O sizes greater than 512KB starting at LBA 0 for an encrypted LUN.

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0a.

In a FICON environment, CE DE is received by the host 5 seconds

after B1 CCW causing a channel timeout.

Workaround prior to upgrade:

Execute

slotpoweroff /slotpoweron commands

on the blade.

Fixed in Fabric OS 7.0.0.

Encrypted/Compressed E_Port trunk goes down following CP failover.
