Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
When performing Power On Reset (POR) on an HP StorageWorks DC
SAN Director in a FICON environment, a kernel panic causes the
switch to crash and reboot.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
An HP Storageworks 1606 SAN Extension Switch crashes after con-
necting FCIP ports to a test device that performs various perturba-
tions/error injection on the port.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
A strict fabric-wide policy conflict occurs on dual CP switches (directors)
after an HA failover, leading to switch segmentation.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
In a FICON environment,
block port
is not displayed in the IPL file
after host blocks port in-band, due to IPL file not being updated.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
In a FICON environment, RLIR of DRLIR in an interopmode 2 fabric
does not contain a domain offset of 0x60 in PID and TAG fields.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
A HP StorageWorks 1606 SAN Extension Switch panicked and
crashed during an overnight I/O test in FMS mode (FICON CUP).
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
Internal FICON error occurs during a port swap in FMS mode.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
After a non-disruptive firmware upgrade, when a port on an HP Stor-
ageWorks 1606 SAN Extension Switch is changed from EX_Port to
NPIV, NPIV devices cannot log in to the switch.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Disable FICON XRC emulation.
FICON emulation does not handle the abort sequence correctly, which
causes
DSO FICON CRC
errors during XRC RRS processing. Eventually,
the session that encountered the error becomes suspended.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
When running a third-party host scan, the http daemon
(
weblinker.fcg
) terminats and restarts several times, causing a
temporary management service interruption.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director panics due to a termination of
msd during fabric reconfiguration while executing a
switchdis-
able—agshow—switchenable
loop in a fabric with an Access
Gateway device with more than 56 switches.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
The SNMP manager gets incorrect MIB information from a switch
running FOS 6.1.x due to a change in SwFwEPortUtil and SwFwEPort-
Pktl between SW_v5_7 to SW_v5_8 MIB.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
In a 2408 FCoE Switch and a 10/24 FCoE Blade, when CNA sends
FIP ver=0, the switch should not validate the MAC descriptor field for
backwards compatibility, but it does, leading to the switch rejecting
the login.
Fixed in FOS 6.3.0b
Supportsave
does not clear the FFDC files, leading to continued
FFDC file warnings being issued until a second
supportsave
is taken.
