Known issues

This section describes the known issues related to the 1 U H AFM appliance and the HAFM software.

External Lo op diagnostic may s how incorrect result

If an External Loop test is run on a port and the required external loopback plug is not inserted into that

port, the test result should show the test as failed. However, it sho ws the test as incomplete. The Event Log

correctly shows the Loopback diagnostics port failure event.

Port fencing issues

The Alert bar may not count the correct number of por ts blocked by fencing. More than one port may be

blocked, however, only one is displayed.

Zoning restrictions

When you activate zoning with the maximum number of zones (2048) in a zoneset, the HAFM

application may hang.

For Sola ris, Linux, and AIX remote clients, a zoneset can not be imported from a directory not containing

aDTDﬁle.

Workaround

Donotactivateazonesetwith2048ormorezones.

For Solaris, Linux, and AIX remote clients, add the zoneset XML ﬁle and either remove the reference to the

DTD ﬁle or specify the full path to the DTD ﬁle.

Issue concerning HAFM remote client access to the HAFM appliance with dual LAN

conﬁguration

When using a single public LAN connection at the HAFM appliance for all Ethernet communications, the

single LAN connection operates correctly for the following functions:

• Director

s and Edge Switches that the HAFM appliance manages

• Computers seeking remote client access to the H AFM appliance

• SAN management applications such as HP O penView SAN Area Manager

When using two LAN connections (public and private) at the HAFM appliance, Microsoft Windows

and HAFM determine the following:

• Which LA

N is to be the private LAN for communication between the HA FM appliance, and the

Directors and Edge Switches that the HA FM appliance manages?

• Which LAN is to be the public LAN for communication between the HAFM appliance and

comput

ers seeking remote client access to the HAFM appliance?
