Known issues This section describes the known issues related to the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140. HSG80 transparent mode not supported with IBM AIX Use of an HSG80 with IBM AIX is restricted to operating the HSG80 in Multibus mode with the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140. Transparent mode is not supported at this time. Workaround None. HSG80 transparent mode not recommended with controller in SCSI-3 mode with HP-UX operating systems Due to an issue with nonexistent duplicate LUNs being displayed with the HP-UX operating systems, the HSG80 controller is restricted to SCSI-2 mode of operation when set to Transparent failover mode. SCSI-3 mode of operation in Multibus failover mode is fully supported with the use of Secure Path software, 3.0 or later versions. Workaround None. ISL disconnect causes NOS error with the OpenVMS operating systems When an ISL connection is physically removed between directors or switches, the Fibre Channel Adapter model FCA2354 transmits a Not Operational Sequence (NOS) error. This is observed as an entry in the HAFM appliance Link Incident log for the port in which the FCA2354 is attached. The director's Hardware View also displays a yellow triangle icon over the port that detected this incident. The fabric operation or data movement is not disrupted by these incidents, and you can clear alerts from these incidences using the following procedure. 22

Known issues
This section describes the known issues related to the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140.
HSG80 transparent mode not supported with IBM AIX
Use of an HSG80 with IBM AIX is restricted to operating the HSG80 in Multibus mode
with the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140. Transparent mode is not supported at
this time.
Workaround
None.
HSG80 transparent mode not recommended with controller in SCSI-3 mode
with HP-UX operating systems
Due to an issue with nonexistent duplicate LUNs being displayed with the HP-UX
operating systems, the HSG80 controller is restricted to SCSI-2 mode of operation when
set to Transparent failover mode.
SCSI-3 mode of operation in Multibus failover mode is fully supported with the use of
Secure Path software, 3.0 or later versions.
Workaround
None.
ISL disconnect causes NOS error with the OpenVMS operating systems
When an ISL connection is physically removed between directors or switches, the Fibre
Channel Adapter model FCA2354 transmits a Not Operational Sequence (NOS)
error. This is observed as an entry in the HAFM appliance Link Incident log for the
port in which the FCA2354 is attached. The director’s Hardware View also displays a
yellow triangle icon over the port that detected this incident. The fabric operation or
data movement is not disrupted by these incidents, and you can clear alerts from these
incidences using the following procedure.
