Page 15 highlights

When FICON host sends PLOGI directly to a device immediately after registering with the Management Server, PLOGI may be rejected because the routing tables have not been established. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1. 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. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1. Automatic Fabric Configuration Server (FCS) policy distribution will not work properly on a future release with current Fabric OS 5.x in the fabric. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1. Port scn removes logical paths from wrong port, resulting in some paths not coming online. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1. If CALD restarts, it can no longer provide CAL cache data on EM, leading to possible SMI agent experiencing a reconnect issue. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1. When a third-party system sends PLOGI/PRLI frames with its DID as a broadcast format, the 2/128 forwards the frame as a broadcast frame to all switch ports, causing other devices in the fabric to malfunction and overextend the switch CPU. 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.
