Platform-specific limitations
Table 15
lists Advanced Web Tools limitations that are specific to the Core Switch 2/64 and to the SAN
Director 2/128 and 4/256 SAN Director when they are configured to have two domains.
Limitations when using the Mozilla browser
Table 16
lists limitations in Advanced Web Tools that occur when you use the Mozilla browser on a Linux
system. These limitations do not occur when using Internet Explorer on Windows systems.
Windows operating
systems
Occasionally, you do not see the
Lost connection to the switch
message on the Switch View, even though the Ethernet connection has been lost.
You might still be able to invoke various features from Switch View, such as
Status, Fan Temp, Power, and Beacon. This problem might be seen in the Core
Switch 2/64, for example, when you see the
Lost connection to the
switch
error for a single switch in the chassis, when a lost connection affects
both logical switches.
Workaround:
Verify Ethernet connection to the switch by pinging the logical
switch IP address.
Zone Admin
The accessibility matrix in the Zone Admin module does not show hosts and
devices zoned by QuickLoop AL_PA as being accessible to each other.

On the Red Hat platform, the default system font size is larger than on

operating system
On a Solaris/Mozilla browser, some pop-up windows (for example, the
firmware download completion message and Performance Monitor dialog
boxes) display in the background, behind other windows. This can give
the appearance of a session hang.
Workaround:
