30 MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes
HP SPECIFIC KNOWN ISSUES
Problem Description:
HP Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) P6000 is getting detected as “host” instead of “storage” in the
DCNM 6.1(1a) Device Type. At this instance LUNs which are presented from HP Enterprise
Virtual Array (EVA) P6000 will not be visible in the presented hosts. This issue is irrespective of
host operating system.
Workaround: Changing the device type to “storage” in the Local full zone database of DCNM
and rescanning the host system will resolve this issue.
Problem Description:
Adding P2000 to zone alias fails with below pop up message on DCNM 6.1(1b). This issue
doesn’t persists for other storage arrays
Work around:
Follow the switch zone creation steps using command line interface on principle switch.
Problem Description:
Limitation of Smart Zoning when using inter switch link (ISL) between MDS switches and Nexus
switches. When Smart Zoning is enabled in MDS switches, it will not allow Nexus switches to
merge to fabric. It fails with a message “zone merge failure”. This message does not clearly show
that the reason of ISL failure is because Smart Zoning is enabled on the MDS switches.
Workaround:
To connect a Nexus 5000 switch to an MDS switch fabric, Smart Zoning must not be enabled.
Problem Description: Issuing an “End to End Connectivity” to the EVA4400/6400/8400 may
crash both EVA controllers at the same time.
Workaround: None.
Problem Description: Issuing an fcping to the EVA4400/6400/8400 may crash the EVA
controller
Workaround: None.
Problem Description: If it becomes necessary to move an EVA controller port to a different
port on the same C-series switch or to a port on a different C-series switch, the corresponding
controller port may become unavailable.
Workaround: Restart the EVA controller.
