Director Release Notes
Disconnecting the Null Modem Cable
Always log out and disconnect the Null Modem cable from the serial maintenance
port when not in use or when the switch is reset.
Multiple FC HBA Ports in Separate Zones
Multiple FC HBA ports in the same host should be placed in separate zones, or
they might be perceived as potential targets (some HBAs log-in as both host and
target).
CTP Controls Port Lights
Port lights on the edge switch and director products are controlled by the CTP
functionality. Certain activities such as FW updates, IPLing the CTP, or switching
over to the backup CTP (Director) can cause these port lights to extinguish
momentarily until control is reasserted by the CTP. The actual FC traffic is not
affected during these times.
Support for Speed Auto-Negotiate
Currently, Speed Auto-Negotiate is not supported for HA and Failover SAN
configurations and is not recommended in general at this time. The speed should
be hard set to match the attached host or target port capability whenever possible.
Ports May Accumulate Spurious Events
A port may accumulate
Invalid transmission word
and
Bit-Error Threshold Link
Incident
events when a transceiver is poorly seated resulting in a poor ground
connection.
Workaround
Reseating the optical transceiver will correct the problem.
