Channel HBA. rx7640 systems have a built-in SEARCH of slot 7. Affected 2Gb Fibre Channel HBAs are: A6826A, A9782A, A9784A, and AB465A with EFI driver version 1.47 or earlier. Affected 4Gb Fibre Channel HBAs are: AB378A and AB379A with EFI driver version 1.01. The boot will fail with a message similar to the following: Load of HP-UX Primary Boot: 1.0.1/1/0/4/0.8.0.255.0.6.0 failed: Not Found Corrective Action: A fix in the 2Gb/4Gb drivers has been released. The following steps will resolve the issue: 1. 2.

The delay observed during boot will be around N*21 seconds, where N is the number of unconnected fcd HBA ports. Corrective Action:Two workarounds are available for this issue: 1. 2. • Attach loop back hoods to all of the unconnected HBA ports. The loop back hoods will cause the unconnected HBA ports to come online in a private loop topology. Install the product bundle, mtIOScan, that enables boot time kernel threads. This will reduce the overall boot delay due to unconnected ports to 21 seconds.
