Solution
Closed defect summary
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Delay
executing
cfgenable
after
cfgsave
when there is a frame RD zone
present.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
Name Server daemon (
nsd
) panic occurs after enabling frame redir-
ection with redirection (RD) zone present in the fabric. A
cfgsave
causes zoning to push the effective zone database to the Name Server
daemon, and
cfgenable
causes the push to recur. If the
cfgenable
follows the
cfgsave
too closely, it is possible the two database pushes
may trigger an
nsd
panic.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
Host with Fibre Channel FastWrite (FCFW) enabled has problems with
port disable
/
port enable
of HBA ports, causing a server to
hang after 400 MP Router reboot.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Disable Fabric Manager and use
DCFM.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
After upgrade to Fabric OS 6.1.2, event manager daemon (
evmd
)
segmentation fault on standby CP occurs on DC SAN Director when
using Fabric Manager.
Workaround prior to upgrade:
Perform
slot power off/slot
power on
on the blade that timed
out and failed the download the
firmware.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
MP router blade fails to load firmware, indicating a firmware download
failure in the DC SAN Director.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
FCFW configuration is not properly installed after repeated cable pulls
and reinsertions. This can cause servers to receive responses for an
OXID before it has granted transfer sequence initiative (TSI).
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
FCFW corrupts buffer pool due to a Turbo Write Block (TWB) allocation
failure on Proxy Initiator.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
The
sfpshow
command displays incorrect values for current, RX power,
and TX power for any port on the switch as a result of SFP polling
hang when attempting to poll a disabled port during
hafailover
.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
The
supportsave
was updated with Fabric OS 6.1.2 to collect more
data. When data is read from disabled ports, a parity error may be
logged for those ports. No errors will occur on enabled ports or after
a disabled port is enabled.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2a
When QoS is enabled by default and is not utilized, SAN performance
drops. QoS may be activated automatically on an ISL after a bounce
of the link, which can cause removal of an ISL link from a trunk group
or failure of a long-distance link.
