1.4 Modifications to the InForm OS
The following items have been addressed in this release.
VersionComponentBug ID
Each 4Gb Fibre Channel port on the InServ has 511 Remote Port Indicator
(RPI) resources. One resource is used when an initiator logs in. When the
Exhausted Remote Port
Indicator D_IDs
61125
initiator logs out or gets disconnected, the RPI was not being released. If the
initiator logs back in with the same fibre channel D_ID, the same RPI was
getting reused, but if it logged in with a different D_ID, the original RPI was
lost. After 511 such logins, the resource would be completely exhausted and
all further logins would be blocked. This was fixed by releasing the RPI when
an initiator logs out or is disconnected.
