Workaround or Fix: This problem can be avoided by disconnecting the cable from the adapter before
doing OLAR operations.
3. Problem: During online replacement (OLR) of the A6795A adapter on the L2000 system, the
replacement may fail and display the following error message:
OLARD error: General error
Workaround or Fix: This problem is fixed in PDC version 41.38.
4. The following is a description of a problem that occurs with the Brocade 2800 switch. It is not a problem
with the A6795A adapter or software. We document it here for A6795A customers who use Brocade
switches in Fabric mode in a Public Loop topology.
Problem: In Fabric mode, when multiple hosts are connected on the same switch using a hub (especially
two hosts), FLOGI gets timed out when a host changes from Point-to-Point to a Loop topology. This
problem occurs with Fabric mode only and not with QuickLoop.
Fix: Use the telnet command, portCfgLport, to lock the port in loop mode (L_Port) when multiple hosts
or targets are connected on a single switch port. This command insures that nport_id addresses will not
change during temporary transitions and will not cause any subsequent FLOGI time-outs. This problem
is fixed in Brocade firmware revision V2.1.9d and later releases.
The portCfgLport command is clearly documented in the Brocade release notes for V2.1.9d and in the
Brocade Man pages.
