Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.1(3a)
OL-17675-05
Caveats
• CSCsy52780
Symptom: Occasionally, when you enter the feature npv command to enable NPV, or enter the no
feature npv command to disable NPV, the switch does not reload as expected. Instead, it returns to
the Configuration mode prompt.
Workaround: If the switch returns to the Configuration mode prompt, enter the reload command.
If you enter the reload command after entering the feature npv command, the switch will come up
with NPV enabled. Likewise, if you enter the reload command after entering the no feature npv
command, the switch will come up with NPV disabled.

Symptom: Installing Fabric Manager and then installing Device Manager from Fabric Manager
Server causes the Cisco Fabric Manager desktop shortcut and menu item to be changed to the Cisco
Device Manager desktop shortcut and Cisco Device Manager menu item.
Workaround: To work around this issue, follow these steps:
1. On a Microsoft Windows machine, go to Add or Remove Programs and remove Cisco Device
Manage and Cisco Fabric Manager if both programs are listed there.
2. Delete the Device Manager shortcut from your desktop.
3. Select Start > All Programs > Cisco Fabric Manager, right click and delete Cisco Fabric
Manager.
4. Go to C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems and delete the dcm folder.
5. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[user name], and delete the .cisco_mds9000 folder.
6. Select Start >Control Panel >Java > General > Temporary Internet Files > View > Delete
Device Manager and Fabric Manager > OK.
7. Install Fabric Manager from the web client download window.
8. Open your fabric and go to Map. Click one of the switches to install Device Manager from the
switch.
To avoid this problem, we recommend you do one of the following:
• Install Device Manager from a switch or a different Fabric Manager Server than you used to
install the Fabric Manager Client.
• Install Device Manager before you install the Fabric Manager GUI Client.

Symptom: If you are running MDS NX-OS 4.1(3a) with the fport-channel-trunk feature enabled and
you down grade to any NX-OS 4.1(1x) release, the installer performs a nondisruptive downgrade,
even though the fport-channel-trunk feature is not supported in NX-OS 4.1(1x) releases. As a result,
the switch is in an inconsistent state after the downgrade.
Workaround: None.
