Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2b)
OL-7411-04
Caveats
• CSCeg12383
Symptom: On rare occasions, the PortChannels with FCIP interface members fail to come up when
the switch reboots. This happens when the startup configuration has a default switch port trunk mode
setting that does not match the configured trunk mode for PortChannel members (FCIP interfaces).
Also, the startup configuration shows any explicit switch port trunk mode setting for the
PortChannel.
Workaround: Reconfigure the switch port trunk mode on the PortChannel.
• CSCeg27584
Symptom: Creating a role that has VSAN policy as “deny” requires an Enterprise License on the
switch. If such a role is created on a switch that does not have the license, the switch exhibits
different behavior when distribution is turned on versus when distribution is turned off.
– If distribution is turned off, creation of the role is rejected.
– if distribution is turned on, creation of the role succeeds but the VSAN policy continues to be
“permit.”
Workaround: None.
• CSCeg37598
Symptom: The iSNS server might crash when iSCSI is disabled and iSNS is enabled using Fabric
Manager.
Workaround: None.
• CSCeg55238
Symptom: Files created using the fcanalyzer local command cannot be copied or viewed. FC
analyzer runs as root and the files that it creates are created with the owner as root. The correct file
creation masks are not set when the file is created and so no user other than root can read or copy
the file.
Workaround: None.
• CSCeh33548
Symptom: Tape devices can only be accessed over an FCIP tunnel in a PortChannel with write
acceleration enabled if SID/DID based load-balancing is used in the VSANs.
Workaround: Disable write acceleration or enable SID/DID based load-balancing in the VSANs if
you have tape device traffic going over an FCIP tunnel in a PortChannel.
• CSCeh34828
Symptom: If there are active IVR zones with the QoS attribute, then QoS should not be disabled
(for example, with the no qos enable command or through Fabric Manager).
Workaround: Before disabling QoS, QoS attributes from the active IVR zones should be removed
and then the resultant IVR zone set should be reactivated.
• CSCeh41099
Symptom: Protocol and port numbers, if specified in an IP ACL assigned to an IPSec profile (crypto
map), will be ignored. In an interop between Microsoft's iSCSI initiator with IPSec encryption with
Cisco MDS 9000 Series switches, if IPSec is configured in the Microsoft iSCSI initiator (also the
IPSec/IKE initiator), the host IPSec implementation sends the following IPSec policy:
source IP - Host IP, dest IP - MDS IP,
source port - any, dest port - 3260 (iSCSI), protocol - 6 (TCP).
