HP B-series Fabric OS 6.3.2e Release Notes (5697-1816, March 2012) - includes all 6.3.2x versions

Table 7 Fabric OS 6.3.2a closed defects (continued)
on a primary shared area port after a secondary shared area F_Port goes
though a route recalculation. Level of disruption varies from causing a SCSI
abort, RTWR error, to hosts and targets losing the ability to communicate.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a.Fabric gets into a mode where communications between the local switch
and remote switch flow in only one direction, causing the remote switch to
disable the local switch without any notification or reason being logged.
Messages are seen indicating RTWR has reached max retries in RASLOG.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a.Multi-sequence frames are not properly handled by switches in Access
Gateway mode, leading to memory corruption and switch agdd panic.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a.Formatting of errdump messages resulting from changes made to support
virtual fabrics causes some firmware upgrade log messages related to the
previously installed version of Fabric OS to be lost after upgrade to Fabric
OS 6.2.0 or later.
Workaround prior to upgrade: Reboot
the standby CP manually.
Haenable command is not auto rebooting the standby CP when the standby
CP is removed and reseated/replaced. As a result the active and backup

CP end up out of synch. Can occur with either 4Gb or 8Gb director class
switches.
Workaround prior to upgrade: Ignore if
CDR-1003 occurs during supportsave
and is not persistent.
A multiple critical CDR-1003 raslog occurred during supportsave. After a
non-disruptive upgrade from Fabric OS 6.1.x to Fabric OS 6.2.x, CDR-1003
CRITICAL messages may be posted during a supportSave operation on

Brocade 4Gb platforms. With the fix in this release, the critical message is
updated to a Warning and it can be ignored unless it is persistent and does
not occur during supportsave.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a.With some types of servers that do not cut off the light during reboot, the
connected switch cannot bring an F_Port on line for a long time due to
multiple reinitialization attempts caused by unstable signal/port fault period.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a.Network security vulnerabilities identified via network vulnerability scan need
to be addressed with the encryption switch and blade.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a.Newly active CP fails to completely recover from either firmware download
(6.2.x to 6.3.x) or hafailover, due to persistent disabled GE_Port on
Multi-protocol router blade. Requires a reboot of both CPs to regain hasync.
Can occur with either 4Gb or 8Gb director class switches.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2a.On Multi-protocol router blade or 400 MP router, after a TCP/FCIP processor
panic, the CP panics with a "Oops: kernel access of bad area" message
when attempting to output RASLOG messages.
Workaround prior to upgrade: Remove
the device issuing the PLOGI to offline
In 8Gb FCR fabrics, If a switch performs an HA failover at the same time as
a device in the fabric is continuously issuing a PLOGI to ports that are not
ports from the fabric to avoid the
problem.
online (due to device caching old PIDs and blindly doing login attempts to
these PIDs periodically), the switch may drop SCSI command frames across

IFL connections after hafailover, while SCSI data frames pass through. This
does not happen with normal device plogin to devices already in the name
server database, and affects 8Gb FCR only.
Fabric OS 6.3.2b fixes

SolutionClosed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b.In a dual Inter-fabric Link (IFL) FCR fabric with LSAN Matrix configured and
LSAN binding enabled, disabling the EX_Port for one of the IFLs causes all
FCR devices to be removed from the name server database.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2b.The Tape REC command fails in an FCR environment because the originator
