HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.0.5b Release Notes (AA-RW1WD-TE, December 2006)

Closed Defects

Switch panics with Failure Detection (FDET) when a Linux host is conn ected, affecting the

SAN Switch 2/32, SA

N Director 2/128, SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V

platforms.

A phantom device on an L-por t disappears after HAfailover/hareboot, and a private device

is no longer in the name ser ver database, affecting the SAN Switch 2/32, Core Switch

2/64, SAN Director 2 /128, SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2 /16V platforms. If not

upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround is to issue the portdisable

and portenable commands.

Specific HBA behavior causes a m emory leak and the switch runs out of memor y and

reboots.

Switch panics

with time service daemon (tsd) core dump.

Zoning change fails with message: unabortable internal zoning transaction.

The Web Tools G

UI hangs upon invoking fabric wide polling when there is no IP connection

between the Web Tools proxy switch and the other switches in the fabric.

Without displaying an error message, a hardware ASIC failure causes performance

degradation on a 4/256 SAN Director, or a switch fault on other 4Gb switches. If not

upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround is to replace the faulted blade.

During stress testing, after fastboot on a fully-loaded 4/256 SAN Director a few E_ports

and F_ports may stay in Mod _Val mode. If not upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release

the workaround is to disable and enable the port that is stuck in the Mod-Val state.

During 3rd

party SFP qualification testing with certain t ypes of SFP, a high number of

cyclic re

dundancy check (CRC) and low level interrupt (LLI) errors were reported by

porterrs

how.

On the Core switch 2/64, logging into both logical IP addresses puts the user on the same

logical switch. If not upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround is to use

ssh (secure shell) or after logging in as root, change the logical switch instance: Enter the

setswitch <instance> command where <instance> is either 0 or 1. Change 0 to 1 if

needed. The PS1 line needs to be entered only once per login.

Port blade on a SAN Director 2/128 faulted due to Failure Detection when there is a 1Gb

F_port on an even-numbered user port. If not upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release

the workaround is to connect 1Gb F_ports to odd-numbered user ports only.
