Closed defect summary
Solution
With large zoneset (over 1200 zones) API library crashes as the zone
library does
memcpy
that does not have terminating zero in the buffer.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
Change made in 5.2.0 to limit the number of FDISCs per unit of time,
caused timeouts of NPIV logins in some BladeServer con
gurations
with VC-FC.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0.
When FOS version prior to 5.2.0 is upgraded to a later version and
the fabric.ops.mode.pidFormat value was previously set to zero, the
switch will continually reboot.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
In extremely rare conditions when a particular timing window is hit
at the same time an internal end to end monitor wraps its counter,
the standby CP can get stuck in a reboot loop. The condition is
that due to a race condition, a partial HA update arrives before a
full update from the active CP, resulting in standby CP going into
continuous restart cycle.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
When MS request issued with WWN that didn’t exist in the fabric,
the MS Daemon panicked.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
The 2/128 was forwarding PLOGI frames received with DID as
broadcast format which was causing issues with other devices in
the fabric.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0. No longer
forwards these type of frames.
For platforms running 5.2.0 and above with domain, port zoning,
there is a small window during which if a device sends it PLOGI
very fast, and before the nameserver information has been fully
propagated, the PLOGI may be dropped.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
CLI
systemverification
command incorrectly reports false
positive failure on FC4-16IP Blade. This diagnostic command is not
typically run by a customer.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
“Stats” menu option does not work when executing
minicycle
command.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
In a FICON environment a Switch panic (in the Management Server
daemon) could be seen if the switch receives one of three FICON
speci
c frames (FICON GCAP, RLIR, RNID) and the fabric goes
"unstable" (fabric being rebuilt such as when one of the switches in
the fabric is powered off) before a response is sent.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
Traf
c can’t be routed into backbone fabric from EX_Port on 400 MP
Router with domain ID 7 or 12 and from FR4-18i Blade in 4/256
with various domain ID’s.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
Rapidly issuing repeated
supportsave
commands can cause
switch panic due to out of memory condition.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
When interop mode set to 1, “
Disable NodeName Zone
Checking
” parameter also changes from 0 to 1, but returns to 0
after switch reboot.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
Due to race condition in
RNID
command from FICON channels,
FICON CUP daemon crashes and switch panics after switch comes
up then it starts processing the
RNID
command. Problem affects
FICON environment for Fabric OS 5.1 and later.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
Web Tools error message provided when fmsmode setting fails is
not clear.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
Web Tools is missing “Invalid CRCS” under Fabric Watch end to end
class pull down menu, due to missing “CRC Error” option.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0
GUI component size squeezed due to lack of proper refresh after
resizing.
