In this example, bay2 acquires a port license. switch(config)# interface bay2 switch(config-if)# shut switch(config-if)# port-license acquire switch(config-if)# no shut switch(config-if)# exit switch(config)# exit 6. Enter the following command to verify the desired port acquires a license: switch# show port-license 7. Copy the running configuration into the startup configuration by entering the following: switch# copy running-config startup-config Note: The running configuration overwrites the startup configuration. HP Specific Known Issues Problem Description: If an EVA controller running VCS 3.xxx is restarted, paths may fail to return on the C-Series MDS 9020. Workaround: Disable and then re-enable the port the EVA is plugged into. Problem Description: EVA controllers running XCS 5.1xx or later may fail to log into the CSeries switches. Workaround: Set the switch port mode to F or FX and specify the speed (2Gbps or 4Gbps). Should the EVA controller fail to log in, unplug and reinsert the fibre channel cable. Problem Description: If it becomes necessary to move an EVA controller port to a different port on the same C-Series switch, or to a port on a different C-Series switch, the corresponding controller port may become unavailable. Workaround: Restart the EVA controller. Problem Description: EVA controllers running VCS 3.xxx may log into the C-Series 4Gbps modules at 1Gbps instead of the default 2Gbps. Workaround: Set the switch port speed to 2Gbps. Problem Description: Continuous Access EVA VCS 3.xxx, VCS 4.xxx, and XCS 5.xxx is nonoperational with the C-Series MDS 9020. Workaround: None for VCS 3.xxx or VCS 4.xxx. For XCS 5.xxx, upgrade to XCS 6.xxx. Refer to the EVA XCS 6.xxx documentation for upgrade restrictions. Problem Description: The HP ProLiant family of blade servers may display as storage arrays in the Fabric Manager topology diagram. Workaround: Perform the following steps to change the display of the blade server from a storage icon to a host icon. This issue will be resolved in a future version of Fabric Manager. 1.

HP Specific Known Issues
Problem Description:
If an EVA controller running VCS 3.xxx is restarted, paths may fail to
return on the C-Series MDS 9020.
Workaround:
Disable and then re-enable the port the EVA is plugged into.
Problem Description:
EVA controllers running XCS 5.1xx or later may fail to log into the C-
Series switches.
Workaround:
Set the switch port mode to F or FX and specify the speed (2Gbps or 4Gbps).
Should the EVA controller fail to log in, unplug and reinsert the fibre channel cable.
Problem Description:
If it becomes necessary to move an EVA controller port to a different
port on the same C-Series switch, or to a port on a different C-Series switch, the corresponding
controller port may become unavailable.
Workaround:
Restart the EVA controller.
Problem Description:
EVA controllers running VCS 3.xxx may log into the C-Series 4Gbps
modules at 1Gbps instead of the default 2Gbps.
Workaround:
Set the switch port speed to 2Gbps.
Problem Description:
Continuous Access EVA VCS 3.xxx, VCS 4.xxx, and XCS 5.xxx is non-
operational with the C-Series MDS 9020.
Workaround:
None for VCS 3.xxx or VCS 4.xxx.
For XCS 5.xxx, upgrade to XCS 6.xxx.
Refer to the EVA XCS 6.xxx documentation for upgrade restrictions.
Problem Description:
The HP ProLiant family of blade servers may display as storage arrays
in the Fabric Manager topology diagram.
Workaround:
Perform the following steps to change the display of the blade server from a
storage icon to a host icon.
This issue will be resolved in a future version of Fabric Manager.
