Description
The boot ROM in Fabric OS 4.4.0 is automatically upgraded, by firmware
download, to version 4.5.0 in all version 4.x switches. After it has
upgraded, the boot ROM will not downgrade if a firmware downgrade is
performed. This boot ROM version supports a redundant boot ROM
capability and redundant boot environments in the SAN Switch 4/32.
Fabric OS 4.x firmware upgrades include the release.plist file. There
is a separate release.plist file for each platform; the correct one is
automatically selected when the firmwareDownload command is
executed. Provide the full path name; do not attempt to locate the
release.plist file in the top-level directory.
When a switch reboot or a failover occurs before POST is complete, the HA
resynchronization is disrupted. HA will not resynchronize until POST
completes.
CAUTION:
To avoid disruptive failover, allow POST to complete before
performing a switch reboot or failover.
The user will see the following message on the console during startup when
the Ethernet IP and gateway IP addresses are set to the defaults:
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
.....
ip.c:311:Invalid gateway IP address 0.0.0.0
This is a display issue only and does not affect the functionality of the
switch.
CAUTION: Do not set a switch or CP IP address for the Ethernet interface
to 0.0.0.0.
In Fabric OS 4.x, the "kern" facility for syslog is no longer supported. You
must update all syslog.conf files to support local7 facilities. There is a
new syslogdFacility command to set the facility level that will be
used.
