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.
It is strongly recommended that customers not use loop topology configurations for mezzanine
adapters in conjunction with FC Pass Thru I/O interconnect modules. Customers are advised
to use Point-to-Point Fabric topology configuration with mezzanine adapters.
For additional information, please refer to HP Customer Advisory Document ID c02985353.
• I/O traffic does not resume after Fibre Channel (FC) cable is disconnected and reconnected in
Loop Topology
In a private loop topology configuration, I/O traffic does not resume after Fibre Channel (FC)
cable is disconnected and reconnected. The application may hang or issue timeout warnings.
It is recommended that customers upgrade the firmware of part numbers AD221A and AD299A
to firmware version 2.82X4 SLI-3 (Z3 D 2.82X4) and part numbers AD222A, AD355A and
AD393A to firmware version 2.82X4 SLI-3 (Z3 F 2.82X4) or later.
For additional information, please refer to HP Customer Advisory Document ID c03064784.
• HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port FC Module firmware version
A fix in AR1203 exposes an issue with the HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module (QXCR
1001123468) that causes fcmsutil to incorrectly display the Previous Topology as
UNINITALIZED whenever the link goes down. The minimum firmware version required for the
HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port FC Module is v1.05.
