Platform-Specific Limitations
Table 15-2 lists Web Tools limitations that are specific to the SilkWorm 12000 director and to the
SilkWorm 24000 and 48000 directors when they are configured to have two domains.
Switch View Occasionally, switches might display the port icons correctly, but be missing
one or more control button icons.
Workaround: Close the Switch View of the switch and reopen it.
Windows Operating
Systems
Occasionally, you will not see the “Lost connection to the switch” message on
the Switch View, even though the Ethernet connection has been lost. You
might still be able to invoke various features from Switch View, such as
Status, Fan Temp, Power, and Beacon. This problem might be seen in the
SilkWorm 12000, for example, when you see the “Lost connection to the
switch” error for a single switch in the chassis, when a lost connection affects
both logical switches.
Workaround: Verify Ethernet connection to the switch by pinging the logical
switch IP address.
Zone Admin The accessibility matrix in the Zone Admin module does not show hosts and
devices zoned by QuickLoop AL_PA as being accessible to each other.

Problem Area Details
Switch View Neither CP is updated in the Switch View (refer to Figure 3-1 on
page 3-2) when switch 0 is being rebooted. The CP data displayed on
this Switch View is dependent on switch 0, and that data is not available
when switch 0 is rebooting.
Workaround: Wait until the reboot is finished and Switch View polling
occurs; then, the CPs will be updated properly.
Java Plug-in The Java Plug-in might sometimes have problems focusing on a
particular field in an open applet if you have the same window open for
both logical switches.
Workaround: When this problem occurs, close and relaunch the
affected applet.
