Limitations and Restrictions Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc.com. parameter outside this specified set. Beginning with NX-OS Release 4.1(1b), these users are still prevented from performing configuration, clear, execute, and debug commands as before, however, they are allowed to perform show commands for all VSANs. This addresses the following: 1. In a network environment, users often need to view information in other VSANs even though they do not have permission to modify configurations in those VSANs. 2. This makes the Cisco MDS behavior consistent with other Cisco products such as Nexus 7000 which exhibits the same behavior for those roles (when they apply to the VLAN policy). Data Mobility Manager For a storage-based Data Mobility Manager (DMM) job that is in the Scheduled state, if the server HBA port goes offline, then the scheduled DMM job will not start. Scheduled DMM jobs start only when all server HBA ports and storage ports are up. For scheduled DMM jobs, make sure all server HBA ports and storage ports (both existing and new storage) are up. Red Hat Enterprise Linux The Linux kernel core dump is not supported in NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later versions and therefore the CLI command has been removed. A syntax error message will be displayed if you import configurations from SAN-OS Release 3.3(x) and earlier to NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later. These syntax errors do not affect the application of other commands in the configuration and can be safely ignored. To address this, remove the kernel core configuration from the ASCII configuration file before importing the configuration. Generation 1 Module Limitation When a Cisco or other vendor switch port is connected to a Generation 1 module port (ISL connection), the receive buffer-to-buffer credit of the port connected to a Generation 1 module port should not exceed 255. Schedule Job Configurations As of MDS NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later, the scheduler job configurations need to be entered in a single line with a semicolon(;) as the delimiter. Job configuration files created with SAN-OS Release 3.3(1c) and earlier, are not supported. However, you can edit the job configuration file and add the delimiter to support Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3a). Solaris Windows Manager Solaris Windows Manager does not resize windows correctly which effects some Device Manager screens. To resolve this, download and install the 119538-1 patch from Sun Microsystems. The patch (119538-17 GNONE 2.6.0: Windows Manager Patch, Generic, 2008/08/08) can be obtained from sunsolve.sun.com.

Limitations and Restrictions
parameter outside this specified set. Beginning with NX-OS Release 4.1(1b), these users are still
prevented from performing
configuration
,
clear
,

, and
debug
commands as before, however,
they are allowed to perform
show
commands for all VSANs. This addresses the following:
1.
In a network environment, users often need to view information in other VSANs even though they
do not have permission to modify configurations in those VSANs.
2.
This makes the Cisco MDS behavior consistent with other Cisco products such as Nexus 7000 which
exhibits the same behavior for those roles (when they apply to the VLAN policy).
Data Mobility Manager
For a storage-based Data Mobility Manager (DMM) job that is in the Scheduled state, if the server HBA
port goes offline, then the scheduled DMM job will not start. Scheduled DMM jobs start only when all
server HBA ports and storage ports are up. For scheduled DMM jobs, make sure all server HBA ports
and storage ports (both existing and new storage) are up.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The Linux kernel core dump is not supported in NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later versions and therefore
the CLI command has been removed. A syntax error message will be displayed if you import
configurations from SAN-OS Release 3.3(x) and earlier to NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later. These
syntax errors do not affect the application of other commands in the configuration and can be safely
ignored. To address this, remove the kernel core configuration from the ASCII configuration file before
importing the configuration.
Generation 1 Module Limitation
When a Cisco or other vendor switch port is connected to a Generation 1 module port (ISL connection),
the receive buffer-to-buffer credit of the port connected to a Generation 1 module port should not exceed
255.
Schedule Job Configurations
As of MDS NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later, the scheduler job configurations need to be entered in a
single line with a semicolon(;) as the delimiter.
Job configuration files created with SAN-OS Release 3.3(1c) and earlier, are not supported. However,
you can edit the job configuration file and add the delimiter to support Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3a).
Solaris Windows Manager
Solaris Windows Manager does not resize windows correctly which effects some Device Manager
screens. To resolve this, download and install the 119538-1 patch from Sun Microsystems. The patch
(119538-17 GNONE 2.6.0: Windows Manager Patch, Generic, 2008/08/08) can be obtained from
