Known Issues

HSG80 Transparent Mode Not Recommended with Controller in SCSI-3

Mode with HP-UX Operating Systems

Due to an issue with non-existent duplicate LUNs being displayed with the
HP-UX operating systems, the HSG80 controller is restricted to SCSI-2 mode of
operation when set to Transparent failover mode.
SCSI-3 mode of operation in Multibus failover mode is fully supported with the
use of Secure Path software, Version 3.0.
Workaround
None.

ISL Disconnect Causes NOS Error with the OpenVMS Operating Systems

When an ISL connection is physically removed between directors or switches, the
Fibre Channel Adapter model FCA2354 transmits a Not Operational Sequence
(NOS) error. This is observed as an entry in the HAFM server Link incident log
for the port in which the FCA2354 is attached. The director's Hardware View also
displays a yellow triangle icon over the port that detected this incident. The fabric
operation or data movement is not disrupted by these incidents, which can be
cleared using the following procedure.
Workaround
Use these steps to clear the incident alerts.
1. At the HAFM Hardware View, click the port module to open the Port Card
2. Right click on the port with the yellow triangle icon, and choose Clear Link

Disconnecting the Null Modem Cable

Always log out and disconnect the Null Modem cable from the serial maintenance
port when not in use or when the switch is reset.

Using the Same Firmware

All switches and directors managed by HAFM should have the same FW level
installed—whether 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps capable.
