Technology:
Traffic Management
Reported In Release:
FOS7.0.2
Technology Area:
FC-FC routing
Closed In Release(s):

Symptom:
Class 2 GPN_FT queries may fail with excessive targets (127 targets) in the fabric.
Condition:
Occurs if any class 2 query response spans more than one FC frame and the end to end credit is
unable to accommodate the response
Workaround:
Reduce the number of devices zoned together so that the number of FC frames responded by the
switch for a name server query does not exceed the credit configured at the device.
Else, increase the end-to-end credit configured at the device side to prevent failure in name server
query.
Recovery:
Increase the credits configured at the device side.
