Flashing/updating NVRAM has been disabled for QLE25xx adapters on ESX 3.5U2.
7. Known Issues and Workarounds
The following sections describe the known issues and workarounds (if any) for SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager.
7.1 File Choosers
Issue: Periodically, the File Choosers in SANsurfer FC HBA Manager do not respond when trying to
traverse the file system by double-clicking the icons.
Workaround: To traverse the directory or open a specific file, select the directory, and then click the
Open button.
7.2 Port Incorrectly Displayed in Adapter in Topology
Issue: In specific switch zoning configurations, an attached port may appear in the topology as an
adapter when it is not actually an adapter.
Workaround: None
7.3 Administrator Account Password
Issue: The administrator/admin enabled account password must not be blank when changing the
SANsurfer HBA Manager password.
Workaround: This is a Windows security restriction.
7.4 Running SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on an Itanium IA64 System
Issue: When running SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on an Itanium I system, performance is hindered due
to a Java compatibility issue. This issue is not seen with Itanium II systems.
Workaround: None
7.5 Driver Parameters Revert to Their Default Values
Issue: When updating the Windows driver using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager, the driver parameters
revert to their default values:
Present targets that are persistently bound plus any new target(s) found
Workaround: Bind by world wide port name (WWPN).
7.6 Unsigned Windows Driver Update
Issue: When performing a driver update on unsigned Windows drivers, the OS displays a confirmation
dialog box. The dialog box appears in front of the SANsurfer (focus) when performing the update on
the localhost if the GUI is connected to the “localhost” (non-agent). When updating a driver on the
localhost, if the GUI uses the hostname or IP to connect, the confirmation dialog box appears behind
the GUI (no focus).
Workaround: If you are performing a driver update on the localhost, ensure that you connect
“localhost.”
7.7 Portmapper Conflict
Issue: If Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX is installed after SANsurfer FC HBA Manager, there is a
Microsoft portmapper conflict.
