Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
A device with a node WWN of zero connected to an NPIV port causes
the switch to panic and reboot about every 20 to 30 minutes when
queried by CALD.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Issue
portcfgshow iproute
to
find any invalid route entries and
delete them.
IP addresses are allowed to be deleted, even when in use by a route,
on tunnel configurations with the 1606 Extension SAN Switch, Multipro-
tocol Extension Blade, 400 MP Router, or Multiprotocol Router Blade.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
With either two Encryption SAN Switches or Encryption FC blades
connected via a single path through a non-encryption switch, the LUNs
contained in a CTC (Crypto Target Container) can lose their paths when
the non-encryption switch is rebooted. Occurs only when the HA Cluster
(HAC) is set for manual failback. This defect is not seen if there are
multiple paths through the fabric, so loss of one switch does not create
a temporary loss of path.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
When F_Port trunking is activated and after the master trunk goes offline,
the switch adds the new master trunk to the list of ports, which sends
EFP/BF/DIA flood. The ports remain in this state until all N_Ports are
taken offline and logged back into the fabric again. Build Fabric (BF)
is sent to the AG. AG forwarding the BF to the redundant fabric caused

Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0b.
When a Multiprotocol Extension Blade and Encryption FC Blade are

policy to port-based via VE_Port
aptpolicy port_based
, it may
not take effect and the internal policy could remain as exchanged based
