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

Table 11 Fabric OS 6.3.2e closed defects (continued)
SolutionClosed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.Migration failures may occur between servers when a switch running in
Access Gateway mode does not clean up the fabric channel frame exchange
properly. This occurs when a FLOGI/FDISC is received from different ports
with same exchange ID (OX-ID).
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.Excessive (encoding out) port errors may occur on HP 8/8 or 8/24 SAN
Switches ISL ports in a configuration consisting of a mix of 4 Gb user ports
interconnected via 8 Gb ISLs.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.An HA Failover and reboot may occur during a code upgrade when an
F_Port goes down and stays offline.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.A host may be unable to link up to an 8 Gb FC port when it is set to a fixed
speed of 4Gb or 8Gb.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.During HA Failover, there is a potential for losing credits when there are too
many timed-out and unrouteable frames being forwarded to the CPU.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.The HP 8/40 SAN Switch, HP SAN Director 6-port 10Gb FC Blade, and
the HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade may experience a
large number of CRC errors.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.An HA Failover on the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director with any HP
StorageWorks DC SAN Director FC Blade (16-port, 32-port or 48-port)
installeld may result in a rare race condition, and a reset of the port blades
may cause temporary traffic disruption.
Customers may experience intermittent CRC errors when performing large
data transfers from third-party tape drives on encrypted products, which may
result in data read failures.
Workaround prior to upgrade: Avoid
sending LOGO with SID 0 to Access
Gateway.
A switch panic occurs and Access Gateway may crash upon receiving bad
frames (ELS_LOGO with SID 0) from devices.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.Unreliable speed negotiations may occur with Brocade 5470 switches when
connected to non-Brocade HBAs.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.When doing firmwaredownload -s with HA disabled and auto reboot
enabled on a backup CP, hot code load (HCL) will fail with the message
HCL failed. Please use reboot to reboot the switch
manually.
Workaround prior to upgrade: Use 100
Half duplex instead of Full Duplex mode.
The Ethernet port sometimes sends frames with an invalid Ethernet MAC
address on an HP 8/40 SAN switch, HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch, and
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.
HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch. This has no functional impact because TCP/IP
retransmits the frames successfully. However, if security software is monitoring
each frame, it will trigger alarms upon detection of an invalid MAC address.
Workaround prior to upgrade: Use
Advanced Management web tools
instead of EZ manager.
EZ manager should allow custom zoning when a dual configured device
exists in the switch.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.2e.
