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.

• Private Loop and Public Loop topology configuration support for Fibre Channel mezzanine

adapters

Private Loop and Public Loop topology configurations are not supported for Fibre Channel

mezzanine adapters on HP Integrity Blade servers in combination with the Fibre Channel (FC)

Pass Thru I/O Interconnect modules. These configurations can result in servers losing connection

to the Storage Area Network (SAN) during mezzanine adapter initialization, and SAN boot

may fail in such configurations.
