Closed defect summary
Solution
Iswitchd panic occurred during data migration with DMM when
invalid frame issued to the switch.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
Diag failure caused FA4-18 to report a fault after continuously
running CP failover test.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
Panic occurred on SAN Director 2/128 when running MS commands
GPT/GPPN/GPS/GAPNL continuously.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
When the 4/64 SAN Switch is constantly rebooted, the Name server
crashed in rare conditions.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
4/32B SAN Switch running 5.3.0 rejected
GID_Ft
command from
an HBA with “FC4-type not registered” error. HBA sees no devices.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0a by
implementing a more robust zone
name check to avoid confusing
frame redirection zones with regular
zone names.
In isolated cases, degraded performance can occur with the Brocade
4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem when internal ports
are operated at 4Gb/sec.
Fabric OS 5.3.0a optimizes certain
settings in the switch to address this
issue.
Unable to con
gure FCIP tunnels using Web Tools in FOS 5.3.0.
FCIP wizard and stand-alone tab
support added for near end tunnel
con
guration with Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
In frame redirect mode, GA_NXT query from initiator returns VI PID
and PWWN instead of host PWWN.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
scpd
can crash on rare occasions due to memory leak in NS
API/library during NS queries.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
In Open mode, when F-Ports are connected to ports 16-47 on the
FC4-48 Blade with WWN zoning, the Zone enforcement shows
as SESSION BASED and the
portcamshow
command displays
misleading information.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
In frame redirect mode, GPN_NN query returns VI PWWN and PID
instead of initiator PWWN and PID.

Closed defect summary
Solution
With FC Tape Pipelining enabled on a 400 MP Router/MP Router
Blade FCIP connection, data written to tape using a block size of
greater than 128 KB will not be readable by some applications,
causing backup to be unreadable.
Backup application could be
con
gured to use less than 128 KB
block size to avoid the problem, but
this is now
xed in 5.3.0b.
In rare cases, CRC errors can occur on Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for
HP c-Class BladeSystem internal ports when operating at 4Gb/s.
Fabric OS 5.3.0b addresses this
issue.
