Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
During a stress test with
switchdisable
/
switchenable
of all switches
in a fabric, we observed both verify failure and a switch panic in the RTE
module.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
A small timing window exists due to a corner case where, if a device sends
PLOGI before the route is set up, it could cause PLOGI to drop in single
switch fabric. This is caused by race condition where PLOGI is transmitted
prior to the name server query, when the internal route has not yet been
established for the WWN zoning pair.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
Authentication fails after 15 minutes if external authentication, such as LDAP
or Radius server, is configured. The user is not able to login using Web
Tools or web page. Invalid password is reported. This issue does not occur
when the CLI is used.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
I/O cannot resume when jamming the status frame with IDLE with QoS
enabled. Link reset does not load the buffers correctly and I/O can be
disrupted
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
A Common Area Loader Daemon (CALD) memory leak occurs while running
management applications using the SMI interface. This causes a switch
panic/restart and fabric disruption.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
The following SNMP-related issues exist in code:
The
cpLastEvent
value is shown incorrectly in the browser.
The
cpStatusChange
trap is not sent to the trap recipients.
There is an incompatibility with client using older MIBs (pre-Fabric OS
6.2.0 MIB).
The
swEndDeviceInvalidWord mid
command returns
bad words
.
SNMP displays incorrect index value for
atTable
,
ipTable,
and
ipNetTodefia
Table of MIB-2.
MIB fails to compile on third-party SAN Management software
(
swPmgrEventType
).
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
After upgrade to Fabric OS 6.2.0, Fabric Watch reports HP StorageWorks
4/8, 4/16 SAN switches, and embedded 4-Gb switches as unhealthy and
issues a warning message that compact flash is 90% full.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
A bad SFP triggered an i2C access causing the following problems on the
port/slot display and CPU load on HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN director:
Executing a
slotshow
command causes a
no system control
access to slot
error.
The
sfpshow
command gives
Mod_val
, or an i2C access message.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
Port statemismatch
occurs on internal ports of 4-Gb embedded
switches between
switchshow
and
portcfgshow
. The
portcfgshow
command shows a
persistent disable
state while the port is enabled.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
After removing EE and F_Port TT filters on HP StorageWorks DC SAN
director in non-VF (Virtual Fabrics) mode, and enabling Fabric mode Top
Talkers, the flow values are inaccurate.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
If TI zone operations are performed simultaneously on different switches,
the active CP may failover due to termination of the name server module
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
A switch restart on HP StorageWorks DC SAN or DC04 director (power
cycle or reboot of both CPs) causes random ICL E_Ports to be segmented.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
Due to a rare corner case, a port reset at the same time as an end-to-end
PLOGI or during a PLOGI storm can lead to a kernel panic with the message
Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
and
sometimes cold recovery.
