NOTE: When configuring multipath LUNs, care should be taken to add LUN 0 on all of the paths, subject to the following considerations: • If LUN 0 presented by the back-end target is a controller LUN (not a disk LUN; that is, not visible in the discoverLUN output), add LUN 0 to the container as a clear text LUN. Make sure all of the paths have this LUN 0 added for MPIO operation (EVA configuration, for example). • If LUN 0 presented by the back-end target is a disk LUN, LUN 0 can be added to the container either as clear text or encrypted (MSA configuration, for example). • For HP-UX, LUN 0 can appear as 0x0 or 0x400, but both of them are LUN 0 only and should be treated alike.

When configuring multipath LUNs, care should be taken to add LUN 0 on all of the paths,
subject to the following considerations:
If LUN 0 presented by the back-end target is a controller LUN (not a disk LUN; that is, not
visible in the

output), add LUN 0 to the container as a clear text LUN. Make

For HP-UX, LUN 0 can appear as 0x0 or 0x400, but both of them are LUN 0 only and should

Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
Sshd
allows admin login to execute root-level Linux commands, but admin
CLI commands fail with a
command not found
error.
Workaround prior to update:
A
workaround to facilitate execution of
admin level CLI commands using
ssh
, is
to use syntax similar to
ssh -l admin
192.168.1.12 rbash --login -c
switchshow.
Or, if a command is
needed that works on both older (correctly
operating) Fabric OS and the
newer/affected Fabric OS:
ssh -l
admin 192.168.1.12 switchshow
|| rbash --login -c
switchshow.
