Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2
Very rare occurrence of a switch panic when
supportsave
reads
invalid data on G_Pports without FC FastWrite enabled.
Workaround:
Make sure both CPs
are upgraded together.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2
After upgrading one CP from Fabric OS 5.1x to 5.3x, if the other CP
has not yet been upgraded and there is another evmd listening event,
the switch may panic.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2
IFCCs are seen with class 2 ELS timeouts, due to F_RJT not being re-
turned for class 2 RNID when source and destination are excluded by
hard zoning.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2
Reduced I/O seen in large fabric testing when core blade removal
and insertion cycles are executed on 8-Gb directors.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2
If an HP StorageWorks Multi-Protocol Router blade installed in a dir-
ector fails to initialize (bad blade), it could cause the system to assert
and reboot due to FastWrite attempting to configure.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.1.2
Switch panic can occur during a rare occurrence of a timed-out ex-
change being accessed.

With default zoning set to
All Access

option on a switch running
Fabric OS 6.1.x returns
Error: Invalid speed level
