Table 15
lists the Cisco SME configuration limits for this release.
Deleting Cisco SME Interfaces
A Cisco SME interface can be deleted from the cluster only after the interface is administratively
shut-down and all related tasks associated with the interface shut-down are complete.
Emulex Driver Version
In some instances, the Emulex driver version 8.1.10.9 may set the task attribute to HEAD_OF_QUEUE
instead of SIMPLE_QUEUE. Certain tape drives do not accept this attribute and may reject these
commands. The Emulex driver version 8.1.10.12 does not have this issue.
