Known Issues Director 2/140 Maintenance Port Baud Rate may be Set Incorrectly The maintenance port is only used to set the IP address information in the Director 2/140. Occasionally the maintenance port of the Director 2/140 may be set at an incorrect baud rate. The expected baud rate is 115,200 bps, but the baud rate may be set to 57,600 bps. Workaround If communication with the maintenance port of the Director 2/140 is not established at a baud rate of 115,200 bps, change the baud rate of the serial communication application being used (for example, HyperTerminal) to 57,600 bps, and retry establishing communication. Downgrading Firmware in Director 2/140 may Cause Database Event Downgrading a Director 2/140 from firmware version 05.01.00-24 to version 04.01.02-04 occasionally may cause event 021 (name server database invalid) or event 061 (controller database invalid). These effects are temporary as the databases recover on their own. There are no other impacts to these events when downgrading firmware. Upgrading Firmware in Director 2/64 may Time-out if Very Busy When upgrading firmware on Director 2/64 which is very busy with fabric operations, the firmware upgrade may time-out. If subsequent attempts fail with a report of file transfer is already in progress, see workaround. Workaround If a firmware upgrade has timed out on Director 2/64 and subsequent attempts fail with a report of file transfer is already in progress, issue an IPL via the HAFM application to the director to clear the hung upgrade. Perform the firmware upgrade at a time when the fibre channel fabric is not as busy. You an also use the Embedded Web Server feature to download the firmware to the director, which runs at a higher priority and is not affected by a busy fabric. Director Release Notes 17
