Open Caveats

• CSCub47799

Symptom: A Cisco MDS 9000 switch reloads or the zone process crashes immediately after making

device-alias changes.

Condition: This situation occurs if the following conditions are met:

–

The Cisco MDS switches running MDS NX-OS Release 5.2(6), 5.2(6a), 5.2(6b), 5.2(8), 5.2(8a),

or 6.2(1).

–

The device-alias is running in enhanced mode.

–

Both the device-alias delete and rename action is performed in a single commit.

Note This problem might occur in both the zone mode basic and zone mode enhanced operation

mode.

Workaround: Commit the device-alias changes after each configuration steps:

–

If you have to delete or clear any old device-alias entries, configure it and commit the changes.

–

If you need to rename a device-alias, rename to a temporary name first, followed by a commit

and rename to the final, intended name and then commit.

Example 1

The following example shows how to delete the Alias2 and rename Alias1 to Alias2:

device-alias rename Alias1 temp_Alias1

device-alias rename Alias2 temp_Alias2

device-alias commit

Use the show device-alias session status command to verify the device-alias session status.

device-alias rename temp_Alias1 Alias2

device-alias commit

Use the show device-alias session status command to verify the device-alias session status.

If you do not need temp_Alias2, use following commands:

device-alias delete temp_Alias2

device-alias commit
