updates or contact Customer Support.
Miscellaneous
• When using a Windows anonymous FTP server for supportsave collection, to avoid long
delays or failure of simultaneous supportsave collections when AP blades are present in a
director chassis, the number of unlimited anonymous users for a Windows FTP server should
be configured as follows: Number of anonymous FTP connections = (Number of
director chassis) + (Number of installed Application Blades x 3)
• RASlog message AN-1010 may be displayed occasionally indicating Severe latency
bottleneck detected. Even though it is a Warning message, it is likely to be a false
alarm and can be ignored.
• POST diagnostics for the HP 8/40 Base 24-ports Enabled SAN Switch have been modified
beginning with Fabric OS 6.3.1b and 6.4.0 to eliminate an INIT NOT DONE error at the
end of an ASIC diagnostic port loopback test. This modification addresses BL-1020 Initialization
errors encountered during the POST portloopbacktest.
• The outputs of slotshow –p and chassishow commands also display the maximum allowed
power consumption per slot. These are absolute maximum values and should not be confused
with the realtime power consumption on 16 Gb/s blades. The chassisshow command has
a Power Usage (Watts): field that shows the actual power consumed in realtime on 16 Gb/s
blades.
• Class 3 frames that have been trapped to CPU are discarded in the following scenarios on
HP DC SAN Backbone Director Switch /HP DC04 SAN Director Switch/HP SN8000B 8-Slot
SAN Backbone Director Switch and the HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch during the
following conditions:
◦ HA failover on HP DC SAN Backbone Director Switch /HP DC04 SAN Director Switch/HP
SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch and the HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN
Director Switch platforms while running Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later firmware.
◦ Firmware upgrade from Fabric OS 7.0 to a later release on HP 8/8 Base (0) E_Port SAN
Switch, HP 8/40 Base 24-ports Enabled SAN Switch, HP 8/80 Base 48-ports Enabled
SAN Switch, and the HP SN6000B 16 Gb FC Switch.
◦ Firmware upgrade from Fabric OS 7.0.1 to a later release on the HP SN3000B 16 Gb
FC Switch.
◦ Firmware upgrade from Fabric OS 7.1.0x to a later release on the HP StoreFabric
SN6500B 16Gb Fabric Switch.
• The QSFP information in the sfpshow output indicates the ID field as all zeros. This is as
designed:
ras080:FID128:root> sfpshow 5/32
QSFP No: 8 Channel No:0
Identifier: 13 QSFP+
Connector: 12 MPO Parallel Optic
Transceiver: 0000000000000000 16_Gb/s id
• HP recommends that for directors with more than 300 E_Ports, the switch be disabled prior
to executing the switchCfgTrunk command (used to disable or enable trunking on the
switch).
• During non-disruptive firmware upgrades, E_Ports in R-RDY mode may cause frame drops on
the E_Port links.
