Closed defect summary Solution Telnet banner and switchname are not consistent after a new switchname is defined without doing multiple hafailover commands. Can also occur after a standby CP is replaced where the new CP hosts file does not get synchronized with active CP without two hafailover commands. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 Workaround prior to upgrade: Use the hostname xyz command when a switchname xyz is used. This issue does not occur with SSH as it does not use the banner. In a rare occurrence, HA synchronization is lost after a switch with trunk ports panics and manual reboot is needed to recover, due to race condition with trunk ports dropping Exchange Fabric Parameter (EFP) response. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 On HP StorageWorks DC SAN or DC04 Director, SwFCPortTxType Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 MIB does not report the type of CoreBlade's ICL port correctly. Reports as swFCPortTxType.385 unknown(1). Byte Streaming support on 400 multiprotocol router/multiprotocol router Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 blade does not work with third-party optimizers. If the ITL nexus in tape (target containers with initiator) to handle multiplex/ multistream environment is greater than 200, decreased performance is seen for some containers. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0 Workaround prior to upgrade: Reduce the number of IT configuration (target containers with initiators) to 200.

switchname xyz
is used.
This issue does not occur with SSH
as it does not use the banner.
Telnet banner and switchname are not consistent after a new switchname

com-
mands.

In a rare occurrence, HA synchronization is lost after a switch with trunk
ports panics and manual reboot is needed to recover, due to race
condition with trunk ports dropping Exchange Fabric Parameter (EFP)
response.
