Performance monitoring port statistics If you are running Fabric OS that is 4.2.0b or earlier, the Performance Monitoring port statistics for it are returned incorrectly. Workaround: Upgrade the firmware on the switch to Fabric OS 4.2.0c or later. Switches running Fabric OS 2.6x that enable port statistics could receive an error code (-89) indicating that all RPC connections are in use and no additional connections can be opened. Workaround: Reboot the switch or use a different launch switch that is not running Fabric OS 2.6x. Subnet scan After you run a subnet scan, any subsequent subnet scans will not discover fabrics properly. This problem has occurred only in Windows XP Pro with SP2. Workaround: Restart the Fabric Manager client and run a new subnet scan. Switch icon colors For switches running Fabric OS 2.6.1e, the switch icons in Fabric Manager might not change color correctly during status changes, particularly when changing from a healthy state (transparent) to a user-induced disabled state (yellow). Missing switches in Fabric Manager Various anomalies occur when there are missing switches in a fabric. Workaround: Delete switches with the missing status and refresh the fabric. You must to take a new baseline for Change Management to avoid notifications regarding ISL changes in the fabric after the missing switch is removed from Fabric Manager. XPath OS Meta SANs In an XPath OS meta SAN environment with 1500 Logical Storage Area Network (LSAN) zones or more, Fabric Manager might fail to retrieve LSAN information. When you launch FCR Info view for a large meta SAN, Fabric Manager might show an error if the LSAN information cannot be retrieved. Workaround: Use the CLI commands lsanzoneshow, fcrproxydevshow, and fcrphydevshow to view the LSAN information. 14

Performance monitoring port statistics
If you are running Fabric OS that is 4.2.0b or earlier, the Performance Monitoring
port statistics for it are returned incorrectly.
Workaround:
Upgrade the
rmware on the switch to Fabric OS 4.2.0c or later.
Switches running Fabric OS 2.6x that enable port statistics could receive an error code
(-89) indicating that all RPC connections are in use and no additional connections
can be opened.
Workaround
: Reboot the switch or use a different launch switch that is not running
Fabric OS 2.6x.
Subnet scan
After you run a subnet scan, any subsequent subnet scans will not discover fabrics
properly. This problem has occurred only in Windows XP Pro with SP2.
Workaround:
Restart the Fabric Manager client and run a new subnet scan.
Switch icon colors
For switches running Fabric OS 2.6.1e, the switch icons in Fabric Manager might not
change color correctly during status changes, particularly when changing from a healthy
state (transparent) to a user-induced disabled state (yellow).
Missing switches in Fabric Manager
Various anomalies occur when there are missing switches in a fabric.
Workaround
: Delete switches with the
missing
status and refresh the fabric. You must
to take a new baseline for Change Management to avoid noti
cations regarding ISL
changes in the fabric after the missing switch is removed from Fabric Manager.
XPath OS Meta SANs
In an XPath OS meta SAN environment with 1500 Logical Storage Area Network (LSAN)
zones or more, Fabric Manager might fail to retrieve LSAN information. When you
launch FCR Info view for a large meta SAN, Fabric Manager might show an error if
the LSAN information cannot be retrieved.
Workaround
: Use the CLI commands
lsanzoneshow
,
fcrproxydevshow
, and
fcrphydevshow
to view the LSAN information.
