SAN Switch 2/32, SAN Director 2/128, SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V
platforms.
A phantom device on an L-port disappears after HAfailover/hareboot, and a private device
is no longer in the name server database, affecting the SAN Switch 2/32, Core Switch
2/64, SAN Director 2/128, SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V platforms. If not
upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround is to issue the
portdisable
and
portenable
commands.
Specific HBA behavior causes a memory leak and the switch runs out of memory and
reboots.
Switch panics with time service daemon (tsd) core dump.
Zoning change fails with message: unabortable internal zoning transaction.
