Known problems and limitations
This section provides a list of known problems and limitations as known to HP at time of publication.
If workarounds are available, they are included.
• FCoE Boot from SAN failure
Boot from SAN intermittently fails during EFI bootstrap of a FCoE device that is busy
(QXCR1001236772). The workaround is to repeat the boot process by resetting the system.
This problem has been solved in firmware version 4.1.450.6301 or later.
• Tape functionality is not yet supported with 580151-B21, 613433-001, and AT111-60001.
• FlexFabric and Converged Network Adapters Must Be Disconnected From All Boot Devices
Before Flashing Latest Firmware
Integrity FlexFabric and Converged Network Adapters must be updated offline to firmware
version 3.704.356.3 for 613431-B21 and AT111A and firmware version 2.704.356.3 for
580151-B21 or later before putting in use. Additionally, the user must unload the FCOC UEFI
driver prior to performing the firmware update or the system may crash.
For additional information, please refer to HP Customer Advisory Document ID c0314831.
• HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module firmware version
A fix in AR1203 exposes an issue with the HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module
(QXCR1001194681) that causes fcmsutil to incorrectly display the Previous Topology as
UNINITALIZED whenever the link goes down. Please see QXCR1001194681 for more
information and the minimum firmware version required for the HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric
10Gb/24-Port Module when the fix becomes available.
• Up to a total of eight NC551m and/or NC553m HBAs are supported in a BL890c i2 system.
Up to a total of 140 Fibre Channel ports, which can be any combination of CN1100E and
AT094A HBAs, are supported in a Superdome2 system.
• The HP-UX boot path is lost during un-assign and re-assign of the BL8x0C i2 (Blade) profile.
The scenario that leads to this is:
1. Create a profile and assign it to the blade. Install a SAN disk connected from HBA with
HP-UX on it.
2. Power off the blade.
3. Un-assign the profile from the blade.
4. Power on the blade to EFI shell (bare-metal state).
5. Power off the blade.
6. Re-assign the profile back to the same blade.
7. Power on the blade again.
