HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Release Note page 74

Closed defect summary
A HP StorageWorks 1606 SAN Extension Switch panicked and
crashed during an overnight I/O test in FMS mode (FICON CUP).
Internal FICON error occurs during a port swap in FMS mode.
After a non-disruptive firmware upgrade, when a port on an HP Stor-
ageWorks 1606 SAN Extension Switch is changed from EX_Port to
NPIV, NPIV devices cannot log in to the switch.
FICON emulation does not handle the abort sequence correctly, which
causes DSO FICON CRC errors during XRC RRS processing. Eventually,
the session that encountered the error becomes suspended.
When running a third-party host scan, the http daemon
(weblinker.fcg) terminats and restarts several times, causing a
temporary management service interruption.
HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director panics due to a termination of
msd during fabric reconfiguration while executing a switchdis-
able—agshow—switchenable loop in a fabric with an Access
Gateway device with more than 56 switches.
The SNMP manager gets incorrect MIB information from a switch
running Fabric OS 6.1.x due to a change in SwFwEPortUtil and Sw-
FwEPortPktl between SW_v5_7 to SW_v5_8 MIB.
In a 2408 FCoE Switch and a 10/24 FCoE Blade, when CNA sends
FIP ver=0, the switch should not validate the MAC descriptor field for
backwards compatibility, but it does, leading to the switch rejecting
the login.
Supportsave does not clear the FFDC files, leading to continued
FFDC file warnings being issued until a second supportsave is taken.

Closed defect summary
HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director with multiprotocol router blade
does not see a new device across LSAN after upgrading from Fabric
OS 5.x non-disruptively to Fabric OS 6.2.x. Bounce of host port causes
paths to be lost between the host and target. This problem is relevant
only to this particular router blade and only after upgrading to Fabric
OS 6.2.x.
When integrated routing is running, FCR can fail to route traffic on 8
Gb EX_Ports of HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director after upgrading
firmware from Fabric OS 6.1 to 6.2.x. If there is an additional
hafailover after upgrading firmware, a new device is added and
bouncing device ports can trigger a routing problem, causing the host
to not see the device.

Workaround prior to upgrade: Do a
slotpoweroff/slotpoweron of
the router blade or reboot.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0c
Workaround prior to upgrade: If
problem has already occurred,
bounce all EX_Ports in the same chip
together. After recovery, fabric is no
longer susceptible to the problem.
