28 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.
