Inserting unsupported FC4-48 blade into a pre-Fabric OS v5.2 chassis causes FAULTY(1)

error that will not clear with blade removal. HAsync is dropped, and an active CP reboot

is required to recover . If not upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround

HBA occasionally may not log into a 4Gb switch during auto topology discovery. If not

upgrading to th is Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround is to use portCfgGPort

tolocktheswitchinGportmode. Toreestablishthelinkontheaffectedport,issue

portDisable and portEnable.

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

SAN Switch 2/32, SAN Director 2/128, SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V

platforms.

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

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

2/64, SA

Specific HBA behavior causes a memory leak and the switch runs out of memory and

reboots.

Switch panics with time service daemon (tsd) core dump.

Zoning change fails with message: unabortable internal zoning transaction.

The Web Tools GUI hangs upon invoking fabric wide polling when there is no IP connection

between the We b Tools proxy switch and the other switches in the fabric.

With

out 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

upg

rading 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.
