Important Notes Table 5: Fabric OS Area Information (Continued) Fabric OS Area Firmware download HA switch reboot failure Invalid Gateway IP address error message IP addresses License removal LTO 2 tape drive support OS hardware rsh and rlogin Security: default password length Description Fabric OS v4.1.x and v4.2.x nondisruptive firmware download allows for firmware downgrades and upgrades; however, you might see warning messages such as the following: 0x239 (fabos): Switch: 0, Info PDM-NOTFOUND, 4, File not found (/etc/fabos/mii.0.cfg) These warnings can be ignored. When a switch reboot or a failover occurs before POST is complete, the HA resynchronization is disrupted. HA does not resynchronize until POST completes. CAUTION: Allow POST to complete before performing a switch reboot or failover, to avoid disruptive failover. The user sees the following message on the console during startup when the Ethernet IP and Gateway IP addresses are set to the defaults: SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument.....ip.c:311:Invalid gateway IP address 0.0.0.0 This is a display issue only and does not affect the functionality of the switch. CAUTION: Do not set a switch or CP IP address for the Ethernet interface to 0.0.0.0. When a user removes a license from the switch, the feature is not disabled until the switch is rebooted or a switch disable or enable is performed. When using the LTO 2 tape drive, the user must enter the following command on both Fabric OS v3.x and v4.x: switch> portcfggport port# where drive is plugged in This allows the tape drive to function in point-to-point mode rather than in loop mode. Bringing up port blades during a failover could cause the port cards to come up in a disabled state. This is a rare occurrence; when it happens, bring up the port blade again, after the failover on the SAN Director 2/128. The programs rsh and rlogin are not supported in this release. If you try to use an rsh or rlogin client, Fabric OS rejects the login attempt; however, because most rsh and rlogin clients continue to retry the login for several seconds before timing out, your system appears to hang. The initial login prompt for a switch accepts a maximum password length of eight characters. Any characters beyond the eighth are ignored. 16 SAN Director 2/128 Fabric OS 4.2.x Release Notes
