Topic FC4-48 port blade for the 4/256 SAN Director Description • The configure command only gives a maximum login per port setting. The command allows over 127, where ports for the FC4-48 blade will honor that value as long as its share areas values are 127 or less. • Before replacing a FC4-32 blade with an FC4-48 blade, restore ports 16-31 of the FC4-32 blade if these ports are used for port swapping. Failure to do so will fault the FC4-48 blade. The only way to restore back to original settings is to add the FC4-32 blade back into the slot and port-swap the ports back to the port's default setting. • FC4-48 ports should not belong to the zone or in an administrative domain in which FICON devices are present. • FC4-48 blade does not support loop. Private L_Ports will be shown on these ports in switchShow, but will not participate in the fabric. • The porttest and spinfab commands on any platform will not work on E_Ports connected to a FC4-48 port. • In a core-edge design, making an edge 384-port 4/256 SAN Director the principal switch causes high CPU utilization and may cause panics. SAN design best practice recommends moving the reduction of fabric stress and ease of management. • The FC4-48 Director blade is not supported to connect to the System z environments via FICON channels or via FCP zLinux on System z. To use the 4/256 SAN Director to attach to the System z environment, use the FC4-16 or FC4-32 Director blades FC10-6 In rare instances POST/System verification failures have been observed on the FC10-6. FC4-16IP Fabric OS-CLI commands Upon firmware download, the FC4-16IP blade does not preserve disabled GE ports in a disabled state. If you wish to retain GE ports in a disabled state across firmware download, you must configure them as persistently disabled. • This release does not support underscore (_) as part of the name for the dd and ddset parameters used with the iscsicfg command. • The slotOff and slotOn commands are now obsolete; use slotPowerOff and slotPowerOn instead. The portLogPortShow command is also now obsolete. • When performing a configdownload, you may receive a message stating configDownload not permitted. An invalid parameter was passed to the switch. The invalid parameter could be from a switch security policy, such as the password policy, or the NTP server address. This causes a partial configuration to be downloaded onto the switch. For example, when an NTP server address is invalid, configdownload fails, and all data processed prior to the NTP server address data had already been saved in the switch and cannot be backed out. To fix the problem, correct the invalid parameter and reissue the configdownload command. 12
