HP StorageWorks 2/16V HP StorageWorks Fabric Manager v5.3.0a release notes (AA - Page 12

HBA firmware download • When using Fabric Manager to download firmware to the HBA, in some cases invalid firmware files are downloaded. This causes the operation to report that it has finished successfully; however, the firmware is corrupted when rebooted. This is not a switch issue. The HBA loads any files, even if they are not meant to be loaded. • Firmware download does not work for certain earlier and unsupported versions of HBA firmware, driver, and HBAnyware versions. Workaround: Use the latest versions of HBA firmware, driver, and HBAnyware. HBAnyware Some older versions of HBAnyware do not support more than eight HBAs in the same host. More than eight HBAs in the same host causes intermittent firmware download failures, and also can cause the host to crash. See the Emulex documentation for HBAnyware limitations. License key entry When entering the license key, note the difference between: • The number 1, uppercase letter I, and lower case letter l • The number 0 and the letter uppercase O Performance monitoring port statistics • If you are running Fabric OS that is 4.2.0b or earlier, the Performance Monitoring port statistics for it are returned incorrectly. You must upgrade the firmware on the switch to Fabric OS 4.2.0c or later. • Switches running Fabric OS v2.6x that enable port statistics could receive an error code (-89) indicating that all RPC connections are in use and no additional connections can be opened. Workaround: Reboot the switch or use a different launch switch that is not running Fabric OS v2.6x. Subnet scan After you run a subnet scan, any subsequent subnet scans will not discover fabrics properly. The problem has only occurred in Windows XP Pro with SP2. Workaround: Restart the Fabric Manager client and run a new subnet scan. Missing switches in Fabric Manager Various anomalies occur when there are missing switches in a fabric. 12
