On a Solaris OS v8.0 system, a telnet session cannot be launched using the
Telnet button in Web Tools if the path of the "xterm" application is not
included in the PATH environment variable.
Workaround: This path will vary from machine to machine, so contact your
system administrator to find out the correct path of the "xterm" application
and include this variable in the default environment setup file.
When using the Web Tools Fabric View or Switch View to open a telnet
session from within Netscape, the telnet session is not automatically closed
when exiting.
Workaround: The telnet window must be closed manually.
There is a problem that files created by Internet Explorer 5.5 with plugin
1.3.1_04 may grow too large and cause Web Tools to not operate properly.
Workaround: On Windows 2000 or Windows NT, make sure to delete the
browser temp files periodically. Note that the Temp folder may be in a
different location. Contact your system administrator if you have problems
locating temp internet files. In the temp internet file folder delete the TLBxxx
files.
Intermittently, you will not see the "Lost connection to the switch" message
on the Switch View even though the Ethernet connection has been lost. You
may still be able to invoke various features from Switch View such as Status,
Info, Fan Temp, Power and Beacon. This problem may be seen in the Core
Switch 2/64, for example, when you see the Lost connection to the switch
error for a single switch in the chassis, when a lost connection affects both
logical switches.
Workaround: Verify Ethernet connection to the switch by pinging the logical
switch IP address.
