Important Notes Table 4: Fabric OS Area Information (Continued) Fabric OS Area Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) Fabric OS: CLI commands, failover, and port disable Fabric OS: switch beaconing Fabric routing, Fabric Manager: domain overlap Fabric Watch: e-mail alert error message Firmware download Firmware download Invalid Gateway IP address error message IP addresses License removal Description An HBA will be allowed to register even though the originating port is not on the HBA's registered port list. This is intended behavior, included to test error cases. Changing port configurations during a failover might cause ports to be disabled. Reissue the command after the failover is complete to bring the ports online. Switch beaconing is not preserved across a failover. If you start beaconing, a failover causes all lights to stop flashing. Workaround: If this occurs, reissue the command to resume switch beaconing. Issuing a configdefault command followed by reboot or switch disable or enable can cause the fabric to segment due to possible domain overlap. Workaround: Before rebooting the fabric, ensure that all switches are properly configured to avoid domain overlap between the logical switches. If an event occurs while Fabric Watch e-mail alerts are being enabled, the message ErrLog: Error Level=3 [(null)] is captured to the system error log. This message is from SMTP and can be ignored. Do not attempt to power off the CP board during firmware download, to avoid high risk of corrupting your flash. Fabric OS v4.1.x and v4.2.x nondisruptive firmware download allows for firmware downgrades and upgrades; however, you might see warning messages such as the following: 0x239 (fabos): Switch: 0, Info PDM-NOTFOUND, 4, File not found (/etc/fabos/mii.0.cfg) These warnings can be ignored. The following message MAY display on the console during startup when the Ethernet IP and Gateway IP addresses are set to the defaults: SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument.....ip.c:311:Invalid gateway IP address 0.0.0.0 This is a display issue only and does not affect the functionality of the switch. CAUTION: Do not set a switch or CP IP address for the Ethernet interface to 0.0.0.0. When a user removes a license from the switch, the feature is not disabled until the switch is rebooted or a switch disable or enable is performed. 14 SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N Fabric OS 4.2.x Release Notes
