During stress-to-fail testing of Cold Start/Recovery on a switch with multiple Logical Switches, the local Name Server misses some device entries. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0 Workaround prior to code change: Perform switchdisable/enable on the affected switches. Same device ( WWN ) is visiable in more than 2 fabric using VF function and VT not getting imported. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0 Port Auto Disable - Wrong message when disabling port auto disable. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0 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. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0 Workaround prior to code change: Disable FCFW feature or limit the number of HA Failover sequences to times when IO is not active.
