Table 1 HP-UX June 2011 (WEB1106) Fixes
DescriptionDefect ID
This release corrects a problem in which the fclp SNIA library did not list all HBA cards. This list
is based on the listing of /dev/fclp* files. Since the output of the ls command was not sorted,
QXCR1001134342
the SNIA library incorrectly picked up the second port of the HBA as the first port. As a result,
further processing by the SNIA library to obtain HBA information failed with this error:
"HP SNIA Vendor IFC ifc_snia_test_for_olr: Adapter with handle 1 has
been set to state OLD due to wwn mismatch".
The fclp SNIA library has been modified to create sorted adapter port lists to avoid mismatch of
port numbers.
Table 2 HP-UX April 2011 (WEB1104) Fixes
DescriptionDefect ID
SNIA library has been modified to not to use invalid target entries that caused core dumps.QXCR1001118460
Table 3 HP-UX September 2010 (AR1009) Fixes
DescriptionDefect ID
Certain new tape drives and tape libraries can generate previously unseen FC traffic, that
fclp does not handle properly, resulting in a panic with a data TLB fault. This problem has
been corrected.
QXCR1001004749
In an arbitrated loop configuration, some storage targets might remain offline if the HBA
temporarily loses and then regains its connection to the target (for example, via a cable
disconnect and reconnect). This problem has been corrected.
QXCR1000991122
Corrected a timing-related fclp driver issue that caused an inconsistent driver state; this
condition could result in a single I/O being completed twice.
QXCR1001006125
SNIA dumps core with command vxesd with fclp cards and driver.QXCR1000876391
