Known Issues ■ If a 1 Gbps signal is received and the speed negotiation is transmitting at 2 Gbps, a larger error count displays. If the portSpeed and N-port device are configured to 2 Gbps, encoding out errors are minimal. Similarly, if the portSpeed and N-port device are configured to 1 Gbps, encoding out errors are minimal. ■ If auto-negotiation is set, the potential error count can be large and cause the link to take longer to initialize. The large error count does not cause data integrity problems since all errors that occur during link initialization are counted, but no data is allowed to be transferred by the switch port until after auto-negotiation is complete. OpenVMS, Alpha and Fibre Channel Target Device A problem has been reported when installing OpenVMS on certain Alpha Platforms if the target device is a Fibre Channel disk.

This problem does not occur on all Alpha Servers. Workaround If the target device is not seen during the installation, exit Option 1 by typing C.
