interface port-channel 52 (reason: unknown failure)

interface port-channel 51 (reason: domain ID assigment failure)
d. Identify any switches isolated and issue the following commands for the affected switches:
switch(config)# vsan database
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan { vsan ID } suspend
switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan { vsan ID } suspend
e. e. Issue the ivr refresh command to perform an IVR refresh on all the IVR enabled switches.
f. f. Issue the copy running startup command to save the RDI mode in the startup configuration on
all of the switches.
3. If you have already upgraded some or all of the switches from Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(X)
or 2.0(x) to Releases 2.1(1a), 2.1(1b), or 2.1(2a), with Interop-mode 2 or 3 enabled, issue the ivr
refresh command to perform the IVR refresh on all the IVR enabled switches.
4. If you are adding new switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Releases SAN-OS 2.1 (1a), 2.1(1b),
or 2.1 (2a) to your existing network running Releases 1.3(X) or 2.0 (X), disable RDI mode on your
new switches before adding them to the existing network. Issue the no ivr virtual-fcdomain-add
vsan-ranges 1-4093 command to disable RDI mode.
Note RDI mode should not be disabled for VSANs running in Interop-mode 2 or Interop-mode 3.

Symptoms: During an upgrade of a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch with two or more MPS 14/2
modules, FCIP tunnels on multiple MPS 14/2 modules can be down at the same time. If a
PortChannel with two FCIP tunnels on different 14+2 modules is used for redundancy, this
redundancy can be lost. If IVR is running over these FCIP tunnels, IVR can lose remote devices as
a result of loss of access over the FCIP-based PortChannel.
Workaround: Place other hitless upgradeable modules between the 14+2 modules to allow for more
time between module upgrades and give the FCIP tunnels more time to stabilize.

Symptoms: Using the Software Install Wizard to install a mix of FabricWare and SANOS software
will not work. Once you select SANOS (even if you unselect later), it removes the Fabricware
ability.
Workaround: None.
• CSCei77038
Symptoms: If you use Device Manager to configure the radius server, the Cisco MDS 9020 switch
does not send an authorization request to the server. When configured from the CLI, it works fine.
Workaround: None.
• CSCei78778
Symptom: If you restrict the user from changing interface parameters, the user might be able to
change it in the running configuration using Device Manager until the changes are saved in the
startup configuration.
