Fabric OS 6.1.0f fixes Table 12 lists defects closed in this Fabric OS 6.1.0f firmware release. Table 12 Fabric OS 6.1.0f closed defects Closed defect summary Solution A failed Pause frame, sent during firmwaredownload process in Interop Modes 2 and 3, causes a fabric rebuild Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.0f. Workaround: Use the firmwaredownload -o option to override the uncooperative HCL feature. A device with a slow initialization sequence may cause the switch to mistakenly establish virtual channels on an F_Port. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.0f. A CRC error was observed between HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch and HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch with a particular SFP type. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.0f. The Fibre Channel fastwrite path does not recover after restoring the DWDM connection. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.0f. Devices on the backbone have no access to remote devices after a switch on the backbone, with both FCR and FCIP being utilized, experiences a hafailover or hareboot. Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.0f. Workaround: To recover, disable and then enable the VEX/EX ports. Port RSCNs are sent to DPC (VIs and VTs) every time the configuration changes, which is unrelated to VI/VT. This affects any application Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.0f. that uses frame redirect zoning. With both RD zone and TI zone configured, a connectivity issue can occur after hafailover or hareboot.
