Closed defect summary
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.

pull without
slotpoweroff/on
of the Multiprotocol Extension Blade
or a reboot of the 1606 Extension SAN Switch.
