Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2b)
OL-7411-04
Caveats
Workaround: The SAN switch administrator can login in to Device Manager as a restricted user,
change the switch port mode, then revert back to the previous mode, then exit Device Manager. This
prompts the user to save the configuration to startup configuration, but it will fail or work based on
the user roles. After this procedure, a restricted user may not be able to change the switchport mode.
Open Caveats
• CSCeg90336
Symptom: A user that you created using Fabric Manager or Device Manager cannot log in from the
console. Release 2.1(2) fixes this problem. However, if a third-party application creates a user using
SNMP, a new MIB is required for Release 3.0.
Workaround: Third-party applications should use SSH to connect to the MDS 9000 switch, and
then use CLI commands to create the user account.
• CSCeh52973
Symptom: The switch appears in two VSANs when connected through an Inter-Switch Link (ISL).
Workaround: None.
• CSCeh73149
Symptom: The VSAN suspend/resume operation facilitates network level reconfiguration and is not
often used. In Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2), the command should not be used on a SANTap
related VSAN.
Workaround: If VSAN suspend/resume must be used, first unprovision SANTap prior to using
VSAN suspend/resume.
• CSCeh92604
Symptom: Enabling IVR-NAT on the same switch where write acceleration is enabled over a
PortChannel of multiple FCIP links might result in frames from the source to the destination not
transferring.
Workaround: Do not have all of the following on the same switch:
– IVR-NAT enabled
– PortChannel of multiple FCIP links that can potentially carry IVR-NAT traffic
– FCIP write acceleration enabled
However, any two of the above three configurations are supported on the same switch.
Note IVR in non-NAT mode can be configured with FCIP PortChannels and FCIP write acceleration
on the same switch.
• CSCeh93109
Symptom: If SANTap is unprovisioned before the appliance deletes the objects it had previously
created, then SANTap might have problems with the session objects that are present.
Workaround: The appliance must delete all objects first before SANTap is unprovisioned.
• CSCei10774
Symptom: Disabling QoS does not remove the QoS attribute from an IVR zone set, and subsequent
activation of the IVR zone set will not succeed.
