Technical Severity:
High
Probability:
Medium
Product:
FOS
Technology:
Virtualization
Reported In Release:
FOS7.0.0
Technology Area:
Access Gateway
Symptom:
Immediately after a port bounce with AG or while running “agshow” CLI command, Brocade
Network Advisor seed switch may panic.
Condition:
Following a bounce of the port connecting AG to the switch, before fabric management server and
name server data bases have stabilized, polling from Brocade Network Advisor may cause seed
switch to panic. Likewise, running agshow on switch may also cause the switch to panic. The timing
window for triggering the panic is very small.
Workaround:
Do not poll switch immediately following disruptive events.

Symptom:
Switch goes into a rolling reboot. After rolling reboot is stopped by RRD, any subsequent command

Keep the port(s) connected to the conflicting device in a disabled state or reboot the conflicting
device(s). 3rd party vendor has also released new firmware to correct the Flogi bits setting. Please
contact support to obtain details.
