HP StorageWorks FabricManager 5.4.0a release notes (AA-RWFHA-TE, March 2008)

HBAnyware
Some older versions of HBAnyware do not support more than eight HBAs in the same
host. Having more than eight HBAs in the same host causes intermittent firmw are
download failures, and also can cause the host to crash. See the Emulex documentation
for HBAnyware limitations.
License key entry
When entering the license key, note the difference between:
• T he number 1, uppercase letter I, and lower case letter l
• The number 0 and the letter uppercase O
Performance m
onitoring por t statistics
• If you are running Fabric OS that is 4.2.0b or earlier, the Performance Monitoring
port statistics for it are returned incorrectly. You must upgrade the firmware on
the switch to
Fabric OS 4.2.0c or later .
• Switches running Fabric OS v2.6x that enable port statistics could receive an
error code (-89) indicating that all RPC connections are in use and no additional
connection
s can be opened.
Workaround: Reboot the switch or use a different launch switch that is not
running Fabric OS v2.6x.
Subnet scan
After you run a subnet scan, any subsequent subnet scans will not discover fabrics
properly. The problem has only occurred in Windows XP Pro with SP2.
Workaround: Restart the Fabric Mana ger client and run a new subnet scan.
Missing switches i n Fabric Manager
Various anomalies occur when there are missing switches in a fabric.
Workaround: Delete switches with the “missing” status and refresh the fabric. You need
to take a new baseline for Change Management to avoid notifications regarding ISL
changes in the fabric after the missing switch is removed from Fabric M anager.
XPath OS Meta SANs
In an XPath OS meta SAN environment with 1500 Logical Storage Area Net work (LSAN)
zones or more, Fabric Manager might fail to retrieve LSAN information. When you
launch FCR Info view for a lar ge meta SAN, Fabric Manager might show an error if
the LSAN information cannot be retrieved.
