Known Problems and Limitations
This section provides a list of known problems and limitations as known to HP at time of publication.
If workarounds are available, they are included.
• Additional messages been logged in syslog starting B.11.23.1205
FCD driver (B.11.23.1205) would log the following messages in syslog.log file when an FC
target probe times out due to underlying FC SAN issues. At this time it is highly recommended
to resolve the FC SAN/target issues immediately.
FCD: Probe timedout for target <target_id>
FCD: Inquiry failed for target <target_id>
FCD: rl1 failed for target <target_id>
FCD: rl2 failed for target <target_id>
In the above scenario, there is a remote possibility that FCD driver may receive a new probe
request when a previous probe is outstanding with the driver. In such cases following additional
message would also be logged into the syslog.log file.
FCD: BACK2BACK PROBE REQ on hw_path: <hw_path>
• EFI SEARCH Causes Boot to Fail on rx7640, rx8640, and sx2000 Superdome Server Systems
Running the SEARCH command at the EFI shell on rx7640, rx8640, and HP Integrity
Superdome/SX2000 server systems can cause the system to fail to boot through a Fibre
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:
