name offset while o perating in the open fabric mode, lead ing to
inability to boot over FC R connection for host that doesn’t retry PLOGI.

Closed defect summary Solution
During POST & system verification tests, customer may see false
failures
from stress tests only intended for engineering design
verification.
Removed "minicycle" for all
platformsaswellascertaintestsfor
multi-protocol router blade, & iSCSI
blade, with 5.3.0d.
When port type can’t b e determined on 4/256 director during
filter install for any ports greater than 256 (for example, installing
Performance Monitor on an offline port), filter could be programmed
incorrectly. If FC4-48 blade port greater than 256 is then enabled
as ISL, all frames will be dropped. Can also happen at corner event
timing sequence during port initialization, resulting in host not seeing
the target.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0d.
Switch panic can occur due to HBA not shutting off light and sending
invalid primitives d uring boot, causing port "LOSS of SYNC" and
generating too many interrupts.
Firmware changed to fault the port to
avoid too many interrupts generated
to CPU in a short period of time with
5.3.0d.
Cert
ain Web Tools issues exist (i.e. does not display fabric event
info
rmation with "https" access, & is unable to open Web Tools
GUI f
rom laptop).
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0d.
Cold boot of a heavily loaded chassis on the Brocade 4Gb
SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem during POST causes an
unexpected interrupt whereby POST fails and the switch faults.
Fabric OS 5.3.0d changed to delay
processing interrupts during POST.
