Table 3 HP-UX January 2010 (WEB1001) Fixes
DescriptionDefect ID
This fixes the issue where the fcd driver corrupts the card's NVRAM content, due to the current
driver logic, which computes and writes the checksum incorrectly under certain circumstances.
The NVRAM corruption issue occurs only if the OS Boot Mode is set to [Windows/Linux/Other],
which is the default (i.e., manufacturing) setting.
QXCR1000979379
The fcd driver may cause a system panic with a data TLB fault. This problem, due to a potential
race condition, where the fcd driver receives an I/O completion interrupt from the card, while it
is still processing fatal errors, has been fixed.
QXCR1000991234
This fixes an issue where the fcd driver may panic during boot, when there is an 8 Gb Mezzanine
HBA configured in a blade server.
QXCR1000934838
This fixes the issue wheren SNIA does not report more than 500 luns per HBA.QXCR1000922032
