Event priority mismatch
Error-level policies are occasionally triggered by warning-level events.
Configdownload fails when the ALL parameter is selected
If you run the
configdownload
command with the
ALL
parameter selected to download a
configuration from one virtual switch to another virtual switch and the Fabric IDs do not match, the
download will fail.
Switch name update delay
If you use a tool other than DCFM to change the name of a switch, the new name for the switch can
take up to 15 minutes to appear in DCFM. The actual time delay depends on the SAN Size value.
Deleting logical switches with GbE ports causes errors
If you delete a logical switch that has GbE ports without first moving the GbE ports to the default
logical switch, an error message can display and the delete can fail.
Event-based file actions fail
DCFM event actions fail to run scripts on Windows remote-mounted filesystems.
EX_Port disabled when configuring routing domain IDs
After selecting an edge fabric and launching the Routing Domain IDs dialog, if you select all front
domains and Xlate domains, and then add domain IDs, clicking
OK
disables the EX_Ports and displays
the following message:
EX_PORT ISOLATE
Removing switches
If you plan to segment and remove more than two switches from a fabric, and you have Historical
Performance Collection enabled, HP recommends that you accept changes after each switch
segmentation from the client.
DCFM clients
To free up server resources and as a best practice, HP recommends that you shut down clients that
are not actively being used. In some scenarios, if duplicate entries are displayed in the Product List,
restart the client.
Secure FOS fabrics cannot be discovered from DCFM
DCFM does not support Secure FOS (SFOS). If you attempt to discover an SFOS fabric, DCFM displays
the message
Discovery Failed
. To recover, you must remove the SFOS settings and set typical
fabric settings.
