Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
In VF disable mode, a tape job running over FCIP on FID 128 stopped
after a period of time in port-based route policy environment (aptpolicy
of 1) due to aborts and timeouts. This applies only to the 1606 Extension
Switch and the Multiprotocol Extension Blade.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
After extended EE (Encryption Engine) disable/enable test, ports
changed status to
mod_val
after reboots, causing ISL downtime due
to failing to form. Host may not be able to access LUNs and I/O can
be interrupted.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
SERDES changes required for Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP
BladeSystem c-Class support with Brocade 804 8Gb FC HBA for HP
BladeSystem c-Class.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
64
–
bit port status is currently available only in CLI via the
portStats64Show
command. Not exposed through SNMP.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Webd was seen to terminate from time to time, at the same time as HA
status temporarily went to non-redundant, triggering a Call Home event.
Webd was killed by a watchdog as it was waiting for a reply from a
busy httpd and did not have a timeout mechanism. Other than the Call
Home event, no other functional impact observed.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Disable either or both
Locked
G_Port
and
Disabled E_Port
features, but note that this operation
is disruptive.
Bottleneckmon
cannot be enabled on F_Ports with
Locked G_Port
and
Disabled E_Port
enabled in
portcfg
.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
With encryption, backup to all clear text containers using
Netbackup
in a multiplex/stream environment causes an Encryption SAN Switch
fault, resulting in tape flows hanging.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
DCFM encryption support is unable to import large sized encryption
certificates. When importing certificates containing both the text and
Base64 encoded portion of a certificate, the import fails, but DCFM
encryption support reports success.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Issue
slotpoweroff
/
slotpoweron
of
encryption blade for CTCs to be
hosted after EG re-creation.
Encryption FC blade in DC SAN type director can fail to properly ac-
commodate CTC upon EG re-creation. Containers created before EG
is deleted do not show up in the fabric.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
In large configurations, applying a new TI Zone with failover disabled
can cause FCIP performance to get impacted over VEX.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:

on the switch and try to reinstall the
requested monitors.

HA failover, if the monitors were installed on the switch before the fail-
over on switches with Condor2 ASICs.
