Closed defect summary A LUN sized > 2TB cannot be configured for encryption with the newLUN option. Solution Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a Workaround prior to upgrade: Do not configure LUNs for encryption, using the -newLUN option if the LUN size is greater than 2TB. In FICON environment, WebTools out of sync with CLI in not showing correct port status when FMS mode is enabled and port is moved between different logical switches from the DCFM. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a In WebTools, Name server tab unable to export name server data base from FCR configured switch. After opening the name server tab and performing export the tables, export fails with an error message "For Input String N/A". Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a Data Encryption, tape containers get stuck in login busy state after performing ISL disruption tests. Performing HA failover by toggling ISL between HA cluster members can cause containers to be not hosted with reason "login busy". Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a Workaround prior to upgrade: Do not connect target devices to BES directly, but connect them to an L2 switch. In AG mode, N-Port failover results in F-Ports with attached hosts getting stuck as G_Port. F-Ports get stuck as G_Ports after AG N-Port failover. This happens when there is a change in the base address for the N-Port due to failover, or when there is no wwn-area mapping for few devices and due to the login sequence of these devices, the PIDS assigned conflicted with the already allocated PID to another device, resulting in the F-Ports getting stuck as G_Port. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a Workaround prior to upgrade: Use portdisable/enable. In FICON environment, when CHPs are very busy, CUP may report many IFCCs.

Tape drives fail when running over FCR with EX ports in Open mode. The REC accept payload is incorrect. If host to tape I/O traverses FCR and includes an edge fabric, the tape drives would run for a bit and then fail due to REC ACC is not processed correctly if EX port is operating in IM3/Open mode. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a Abort in FICON Tape Read emulation if Attention status received between status and status accept. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a Workaround prior to upgrade: Disable FICON Emulation. In FICON environment, IFCCs seen when enabling ICL ports with Lossless Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0a DLS enabled, and traffic can be adversely affected. Port based routing frames were out of order when FCP image pairs concurrently initiated exchanges as originators over GE ports.
