Known Issue Workaround
Administrator Account Password: The
administrator/admin enabled account password
must not be blank when changing the SANsurfer
FC HBA Manager utility password.
This is a Windows security restriction.
Running SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on an
Itanium IA64 System: When running SANsurfer
FC HBA Manager on an Itanium I system, the
utility performance is hindered due to a Java
compatibility issue. This issue is not seen with
Itanium II systems.
None. For your information only.
Driver Parameters Revert to Their Default
Values: 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.
Bind by world wide port name (WWPN).
Unsigned Windows Driver Update: When
performing a driver update on unsigned Windows
drivers, the OS opens a confirm dialog box. This
appears in front of the utility (focus) when
performing the update on the localhost if the
interface is connected to the "localhost" (non-
agent). When updating a driver on the localhost, if
SANsurfer uses the hostname or
IP to connect, the
confirm dialog box appears behind the interface
(no focus).
If you are performing a driver update on the
localhost, make sure to connect as "localhost".
Portmapper Conflict: There is a Microsoft
portmapper conflict if Microsoft Windows Services
for UNIX is installed after SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager.
Perform the following steps:
1. Temporarily uninstall SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager.
2. Install Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX.
3. Re-install SANsurfer FC HBA Manager.
Connecting to localhost uses DLL or Shared
Library (Windows or Linux IA32): Connecting
to a localhost on a Windows IA32 or Linux IA32
machine requires using a DLL or shared library
instead of the agent. There is no communication
between the localhost version and the agent.
Be sure to use either the localhost or the agent,
but not both at the same time.
