Fabric OS v6.4.3f Release Notes v1.0 Page 69 of 149

Defect ID: DEFECT000379613

Technical Severity: Medium

Summary: spinFab does not work from switches running FOS v6.4.x to switches with FOS v6.2.x

Symptom: spinfab reports FAIL

Feature: Diagnostics

Function: Other

Probability: Low

Found in Release: FOS6.4.2

Defect ID: DEFECT000380162

Technical Severity: Medium

Summary: F-Port trunk lost connectivity after hafailover

Symptom: When a hafailover occurs on a fabric switch with F-port trunks, the fabric ID is not updated

on the slave ports of the F-port trunks. This causes the slave ports to have a possibly

incorrect fabric ID. If the entire F-port trunk goes down and a previous slave port becomes

the trunk master of the F-port trunk, this incorrect fabric ID is used and cause ACL check to

fail and frame cannot go through.

Feature: Field Escalation

Function: Access Gateway

Probability: Low

Found in Release: FOS6.4.2

Service Request ID: 691443

Defect ID: DEFECT000381270

Technical Severity: Medium

Summary: switch panic during SFP validation

Symptom: While running diagnostics, an unsuccessful read at low level or bad SFP/media itself can

trigger switch panic

Feature: Field Escalation

Function: Diagnostics

Probability: Low

Found in Release: FOS6.3.1

Service Request ID: 499697

Defect ID: DEFECT000381361

Technical Severity: Medium

Summary: After hareboot on B5460, internal ports go offline/online with warm recovery

Symptom: FOS version of 6.4.2 and before, traffic will be disrupted during HCL on B5460 due to

Defect 381361. This issue cannot be resolved without a FPGA upgrade. FOSv6.4.3

contains upgrade of FPGA code. For the fix to be effective, please schedule window on

upgrade:

1. Upgrade to FOS v6.4.3

2. Run fpga_update after upgrade

3. and then power-cycle the switch to apply the fix.

After that, HCL to the future releases will be non-disruptive

Feature: Field Escalation

Function: ASIC Driver

Probability: High
