Defect ID: DEFECT000381655
Technical Severity: High
Summary: switch panic after code upgrading and device re-login
Symptom: Switch panic upon detect duplicated WWN - sometimes false positive detection due to
race condition. When a duplicate is detected by NS, the NS-1006 RASLOG is already
generated. It is at this time that the fix will force the newer local device to be disabled.
This is done in an effort to avoid the code that generates the ASSERT. The port is disabled
with reason "Duplicate WWN"
Workaround: Full duplicate WWN detection is supported in FOS7.0 and above, upgrade if possible. In
AG environment, use "ag --persistentalpaenable 1 -f" setting to reduce this condition.
