Fabric OS v7.2.1e Release Notes v1.0 Page 38 of 82
Defect ID:
DEFECT000547921
Technical Severity:
High
Probability:
Low
Product:
FOS
Technology:
Virtualization
Reported In Release:
FOS7.3.1
Technology Area:
Access Gateway
Symptom:
In an AG fabric or NPIV environment, device is not found or HBA detects SCSI command timeout
and fabric switch stops routing AG switch/NPIV device traffic.
Condition:
This may occur when fabric switch is configured for session based zoning and a device connected to
AG switch or an NPIV device, that is not in any zone database, is enabled. This causes all traffic
going through the same fabric switch F-port to be disrupted. This issue only impacts 16G fabric
switch running FOSv7.4.0, FOSv7.3.1 and FOSv7.2.1d
Workaround:
Use hard zoning on fabric switch, or add the device into zoning database first before bringing it
online.
Recovery:
Upon hitting this issue, the user may bring up ANY zoned member on AG switch or NPIV, that is
using the fabric switch F-Port, to recover.

Defect ID:
DEFECT000548721
Technical Severity:
High
Probability:
Low
Product:
FOS
Technology:
Monitoring/RAS
Reported In Release:
FOS6.4.3
Technology Area:
Fabric Watch
Symptom:
E-port is fenced even after port fencing has been disabled.
Condition:
This issue would only happen if E-port and port classes are configured with the same thresholds for
ST area. Disabling port fencing does not handle properly E-ports have been fenced earlier under this
condition.
Workaround:
Use the E-Port only threshold to monitor the State change of ISLs, or to monitor all the ports in
general, choose different threshold values for E-port thresholds and port class threshol
ds (probably
E-Port threshold + 5 ).
Recovery:
Bounce the port
