Known Problems and Limitations
This section describes the known problems and limitations as known to HP at time of publication.
If workarounds are available, they are included.
Known Problems with Switches
• HP ProCurve Switches
When disabling Cisco's Fast Ether Channel protocol on the HP 9000 server, the HP ProCurve
switches block that particular port from further use.
Severity: Medium
Corrective Action: In order to use the network physical port on the HP 9000 server, physically
move the connection from the server to the switch to another non-Cisco Fast EtherChannel
port on the switch.
• Cisco Catalyst 5000 Switches
— Turning off Cisco's Fast Ether Channel protocol on one network physical port on the
HP 9000 server might cause the entire link aggregate (the port it is associated with) to
be deconfigured.
Severity: High
Corrective Action: Reconfigure the switch; do not include the port in the link aggregate
being configured. See the appropriate switch documentation for information on how
to reconfigure link aggregates.
The Catalyst 5000 switch only allows two- or four-port link aggregates. See the Cisco
Catalyst 5000 Configuration Guide for information about these limitations.
• 3Com SuperStack II Switches
To interoperate with the switch, disable the Trunk Control Message Protocol (TCMP) on all
of the ports that are being used with HP Integrity servers.
