Cannot export to disk on remote AIX client An exception is occurring when an export to disk operation is performed on a remote AIX client platform. Cannot import a Physical Map If an attempt is made to import a Physical Map by itself, the import fails. Workaround A Physical Map can be imported as part of a full SAN import file. Errors drop down list is not available The Errors drop down list is not available in the Performance Graph for HAFM 08.06.00. Cannot configure a blank nickname Nicknames cannot be left blank. If no nickname has been configured yet, the user can select cancel to leave a nickname blank. Once a nickname has been configured, it cannot be changed to be blank, that is, the nickname cannot be deleted. The nickname can be assigned a new name. Support for speed Auto-Negotiate Auto-negotiate is supported. However, HP recommends that the port speed for E_Ports (for Interswitch Links, or ISLs) be set to a specific port speed (1Gb/sec or 2Gb/sec, as appropriate for the speed of the directors or edge switches being connected) instead of to Negotiate. Using a specific port speed decreases the time for a fabric build in response to some perturbation event in the fabric. Similarly, setting a specific port speed for N_Ports also decreases fabric build time. However, setting a specific port speed for N_Ports is not required. There are a few older HBA devices that do not always succeed in logging in to a switch port when the port speed is set for auto-negotiate. Workaround If an older HBA has difficulty logging into a switch port that has its port speed configured as Negotiate, configure that port speed to 1Gb/sec or 2Gb/sec according to the operation speed of the HBA connected to that port. Losing LAN connection to the HAFM appliance when logged in to HAFM If the LAN connection to the HAFM appliance is lost while you are logged in to HAFM, the application may stop.
