Table 3 Fabric OS 5.0.5b closed defects
Closed Defects
Inserting unsupported FC4-48 blade into a pre-Fabric OS v5.2 chassis causes FAULTY(1)
error that will not clear with blade removal. HAsync is dropped, and an active CP reboot
is required to recover. If not upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround
is to schedule a convenient time to reboot the active CP.
HBA occasionally may not log into a 4Gb switch during auto topology discovery. If not
upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround is to use
portCfgGPort
to lock the switch in G port mode. To reestablish the link on the affected port, issue
portDisable
and
portEnable
.
Switch panics with Failure Detection (FDET) when a Linux host is connected, affecting the
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.
