HP 4400 HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.4.0c Release Notes (5697-0703, September 2 - Page 52

Closed defect summary Solution In FICON environment, Fabric OS is not generating RLIR's for link incid- Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 ents on cascaded Fabric OS switches in IM0. Internal buffer corruption in zoned during zone merge process causes Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 zone merge failure and switch panic. No cascaded FICON CUP connectivity on 4/256 director with 8 Gb Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 blade when E_Port and F_Port are on different ASICs on the blade. Switch panic occurs when management application performs repeat FCP LUN emulation queries. If the device gives an inappropriate response, or no response, to an FCP LUN request, FCP Daemon retries the query and the thread becomes stuck. Any new FCP LUN request that is issued from the management application generates a new thread. Eventually FCP Daemon generates up to the maximum number of allowed threads, leading to the switch panic. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 Licenses removed during firmware downgrade from 6.3.0b to 6.2.0e. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 If Fabric Watch fwalarms is turned off and Errlog is turned on, fabric watch daemon can crash causing a switch panic. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 Workaround prior to upgrade: In the threshold alarm matrix configuration for all port related thresholds, disable ErrLog and Port Fencing (using fwconfigure) this will avoid the above functions from being called (on any threshold events) and leaking or enable fwalarmsfilterset. EX port in DC04 SAN director base switch in logical switch configuration fails to come up online as EX port. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 Workaround prior to upgrade: Always add FC ports before adding GE ports to an LS. When removing ports from an LS remove GE ports before FC ports. On HP StorageWorks 1606 Extension SAN switch, no NPIV devices (including Access Gateway) can log into ports 0 - 3 of multiprotocol router blade or 400 MP router. Error message occurs stating NPIV not supported on Fabric port, although NPIV is enabled on the 1606 ports. No problem logging into ports 4 - 31. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 Port to port connectivity failures due to slow RNID processing on 4Gb Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 switches. Host failed to discover tapes due to a VI/VT (Virtual Initiator/Virtual Target) database mismatch between the switches that are part of the same Encryption Group. Therefore, the host cannot discover tape devices that are part of the same EG. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 Workaround prior to upgrade: Issue "cryptocfg --commit" again to sync up the VT/VI database across nodes in the EG. Common Access Library Daemon (CALD) detects a large memory increase on the HP StorageWorks 2408 FCoE switch when running multiple SMIA clients over FCoE. Other Fabric OS based products do not exhibit the same behavior when running the same scripts. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 52
