HP9000 PCI FDDI Release Note - 11.0 Patches and Fixes in This Version - 11.00.16 command. 11. The product lacks a configuration file that would allow configuration information to be stored for each interface (per-interface), and that could also be used to automatically initialize the PCI FDDI interfaces at boot-up time from the product start-up scripts. NOTE A new file, /etc/rc.config.d/hpfddi4conf has been provided in this release. It is used to store the MAC address, MTU, T_Req parameter and T_Notify parameter for each interface (per-interface). 12. A V-Class system may panic under heavy network load with 'Epic Channel Error' caused by a write side manager channel context error. 13. The nettl formatter, when run in 'raw' mode on a nettl trace data for the PCI FDDI driver, may core dump. 14. The ioscan(1M) command does not indicate the revision level of the PCI FDDI cards installed on a system. 15. The driver needs to be enhanced to support LAN Monitor. 16. Applications using DLPI type-2 connection-oriented protocol over the FDDI PCI interface are unable to connect to a peer on another system. 17. On a cable disconnect/reconnect, or when resetting the card using the lanadmin(1M) command, the system panics with: "panic: wait_for_lock: Already own this lock!" 18. The FDDI PCI interface state as seen using the ifconfig(1M) command does not change on cable disconnects (from UP to DOWN) and reconnects (from DOWN to UP). 19. Panic with epic channel error on V-Class and panic with data page fault on N-Class. 20. When an automatic reset of the card fails, it is not reattempted. 21. I/O address allocation is inefficient. 22. Heavy outbound traffic can cause the timer to falsely detect a DMA time-out, and then reset the card. 23. The patch PHNE_17517 added support for hdrin / hdrout / loopback NetTL tracing potential. 24. Fixed the interface hang on workstations while transmitting UDP packets. 25. Changed the T_Req default to 165 ms. 26. Added command line option support to change T_Req and T_Notify times. 11

command.
11.The product lacks a configuration file that would allow configuration information to be
stored for each interface (per-interface), and that could also be used to automatically
initialize the PCI FDDI interfaces at boot-up time from the product start-up scripts.
NOTE
A new file,
/etc/rc.config.d/hpfddi4conf
has been provided in this release. It is
used to store the MAC address, MTU, T_Req parameter and T_Notify
parameter for each interface (per-interface).
12.A V-Class system may panic under heavy network load with ‘Epic Channel Error’ caused
by a write side manager channel context error.
13.The
nettl
formatter, when run in ‘raw’ mode on a
nettl
trace data for the PCI FDDI driver,
may core dump.
14.The
ioscan(1M)
command does not indicate the revision level of the PCI FDDI cards
installed on a system.
15.The driver needs to be enhanced to support LAN Monitor.
16.Applications using DLPI type-2 connection-oriented protocol over the FDDI PCI interface
are unable to connect to a peer on another system.
17.On a cable disconnect/reconnect, or when resetting the card using the l
anadmin(1M)
command, the system panics with:
“panic: wait_for_lock: Already own this
lock!”
18. The FDDI PCI interface state as seen using the
ifconfig(1M)
command does not change
on cable disconnects (from UP to DOWN) and reconnects (from DOWN to UP).
19.Panic with epic channel error on V-Class and panic with data page fault on N-Class.
20.When an automatic reset of the card fails, it is not reattempted.
21.I/O address allocation is inefficient.
22.Heavy outbound traffic can cause the timer to falsely detect a DMA time-out, and then
reset the card.
23.The patch PHNE_17517 added support for
hdrin
/
hdrout
/
loopback NetTL
tracing
potential.
24.Fixed the interface hang on workstations while transmitting
UDP
packets.
25.Changed the
T_Req
default to 165 ms.
26.Added
command line
option support to change
T_Req
and
T_Notify
times.
