When executing fastwrite with tape pipelining with a slow responding tape device, the switch sent improper frame causing tape job to fail. Ultimately, this caused the initiator to lose access to the tape drive. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 When FICON host sends PLOGI directly to a device immediately after registering with the Management Server, PLOGI may be rejected Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 because the routing tables have not been established. Incorrect GID FT response from Name Server caused host with multiple HBAs to log errors during HBA IOP reset. When host does its GID FT request, it gets a response for the other HBA though that HBA didn't register for FC4 type. Subsequent PLOGI, PRLI sequence to the non-FC4 type HBA is rejected and an error logged on the host.

This issue only affects 2/128. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 Occasional kernel panic occurs during reboot. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 26
