Closed defect summary FICON block count mismatch in tape read emulation (FCIP link). Solution Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0c. Workaround prior to upgrade: Disable or do not enable FICON emulation. Unable to form an ISL with a 2Gb multiprotocol router with a switch running Fabric OS 6.4.0 firmware. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0c. Workaround prior to upgrade: Connect the multiprotocol router to a switch running a release earlier than Fabric OS 6.4.0. Fabric Watch does not detect the condition properly and generates the correct warning messages for port thresholding events. User sees SNMP1008 messages indicating that the last device change occurred at HH:MM:SS, but no thresholding event indicating the count is above the threshold. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0c.

Path not brought online after path deactivation and reactivation in a large heavily-loaded FICON Tape Emulation configuration. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0c. Workaround prior to upgrade: When FICON path control blocks are stuck at invalid state, disable the tunnel. If issues are occurring with FICON emulation and ESCON devices, disable FICON emulation. In the case of the failed tape job, resubmit it. Emulation error 60 seen during FICON read tape emulation (attention status). Fixed in Fabric OS 6.4.0c.
