Other Issues

This section describes some additional minor issues that you might encounter and
provides methods for working around those issues where appropriate.
LTO 2 Tape Drive Support
When using the LTO 2 Tape Drive, the user must perform the following command
on both Fabric OS 3.x and 4.x:
switch> portcfggport port# (port into which the drive is plugged).
Performing this command allows the tape drive to function in Point to Point mode
rather than in Loop mode.
PKICERT Utility
Before using the PKICERT utility to prepare a Certificate Signing Request (CSR),
please ensure that there are no spaces in the switch names of any switches in the
fabric. The website that processes the CSRs and generates the digital certificates
does not accept switch names containing spaces, and any CSRs that do not
conform to this requirement will be rejected.
Telnet passwsd Command
Using the Telnet passwd command in Secure mode to change the password
results in all sessions using that password to be logged out, including the session
that changed the session.
This logging out is expected behavior. The session terminates if you change the
password in Secure mode.
