Fabric OS 5.3.0d fixes Table 7 lists defects closed in the Fabric OS 5.3.0d firmware release. Table 7 Fabric OS 5.3.0d closed defects Closed defect summary Solution During POST & system verification tests, customer may see false failures from stress tests only intended for engineering design verification. Removed "minicycle" for all platforms as well as certain tests for multi-protocol router blade, & iSCSI blade, with 5.3.0d. When port type can't be determined on 4/256 director during filter install for any ports greater than 256 (for example, installing Performance Monitor on an offline port), filter could be programmed incorrectly. If FC4-48 blade port greater than 256 is then enabled as ISL, all frames will be dropped. Can also happen at corner event timing sequence during port initialization, resulting in host not seeing the target. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0d. Switch panic can occur due to HBA not shutting off light and sending invalid primitives during boot, causing port "LOSS of SYNC" and generating too many interrupts. Firmware changed to fault the port to avoid too many interrupts generated to CPU in a short period of time with 5.3.0d. Certain Web Tools issues exist (i.e. does not display fabric event information with "https" access, & is unable to open Web Tools GUI from laptop). Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0d. Cold boot of a heavily loaded chassis on the Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem during POST causes an unexpected interrupt whereby POST fails and the switch faults. Fabric OS 5.3.0d changed to delay processing interrupts during POST. Fabric OS 5.3.1 fixes Table 8 lists defects closed in the Fabric OS 5.3.1 firmware release. Table 8 Fabric OS 5.3.1closed defects Closed defect summary Solution Management Server Daemon (MSD) panic occurs on switch during fabric initialization. When fabric hasn't initialized its database during fabric initialization, MSD gets ipaddress of switches in fabric which could lead to memory corruption and cause MSD to panic. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 Backbone to edge traffic across FCIP links and ISLs may not be evenly distributed across all possible routes (edge to backbone and backbone to edge). Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 When disabling an NPIV switch which has an Access Gateway connected to it, the F-ports that failover to the other NPIV switch show Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 as "no device found" when running nszonemember for these F-ports. When perfMonitorShow -class ISL 0 command is run, some switches give incorrect output as follows: The number of destination domains monitored is set to zero. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 Unexpected switch reboot may occur during hafailover. During an upgrade, rcsd may get into an infinite loop and block RCS from completing a sync dump, leaving RCS transaction hanging. Switch panic may occur and traffic may be interrupted. Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 Flooding of an unknown inter-switch FDMI command from non-Brocade switch causes daemon to be killed due to out of memory Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1 condition, causing the switch to crash.
