HP StorageWorks 1606 HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.3.0 release notes (5697-0358, - Page 69

Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0

Adding a tapepool (commit) cause hacluster failover even the (container

owner) switch is still disabled.


Error message may be seen on console under heavy utilization of in-

terface to key vault.


Re-key starts and host IO is blocked on failover/failback with mis-

matched time on EE nodes.


FOS-FVT- Check Condition Not Propagated On Read to Physical Initi-

ator (PI).


Workaround prior to code change:

Disable FCIP Tapepipelining.

FCIP tape pipelining does not propagate task retry identification (TRI).


Several harmless messages gets generated when DCFM tries to discover

a large fabric.



Perform switchdisable/enable on the

affected switches.

During stress-to-fail testing of Cold Start/Recovery on a switch with

multiple Logical Switches, the local Name Server misses some device

entries.


Same device ( WWN ) is visiable in more than 2 fabric using VF

function and VT not getting imported.


Port Auto Disable - Wrong message when disabling port auto disable.



Disable FCFW feature or limit the

number of HA Failover sequences to

times when IO is not active.

After few hafailovers, FC fast write I/O times out and a few unexpected

frame drops are seen on 1 to 2 ports out of 7-8 ports running.


Desired distance is editable for the long distance mode L0:Normal

initially when the page loads.
