Caveats

101 0x61(97) 1001 ALL_DONE OXID|FCID_RW 0 [ fc3/2 ]
102 0x62(98) 1002 ALL_DONE OXID|FCID_RW 0 [ fc3/5 ]
1001 0x9e(158) 101 NONE OXID|FCID_RW 0 [ fc2/16 ]
1002 0x98(152) 102 ALL_DONE OXID|FCID_RW 0 [ fc9/10]
Number of DEP entries : 4
After waiting for a few minutes for IVR to stabilize, if the status column for the {vsan, domain}
combination is NONE, then this problem has occurred the switch.
2. Withdraw the troubled domains using the ivr withdraw domain domain vsan vsan-id
command.
3. Readvertise the withdrawn domains using the ivr refresh command.

Symptom: In rare cases, an FCIP link might flap on a network with high latency and a consistently
high loss rate.
Workaround: None.
• CSCsk49761
Symptom: When IVR exports a new virtual domain and multiple border switches export that virtual
domain, some of the entries in the Fibre Channel name server (FCNS) database that correspond to
this virtual domain may have partial entries where the port type contains a dash (-). This can then
lead to a lack of IVR communication between these devices and other IVR devices.
Workaround: Use the show ivr internal vdri vsan vsan-id domain domain command to determine
which border switch is exporting the virtual domain. Then on any of the border switches that is
exporting the virtual domain, enter the following command for each device that has a partial FCNS
entry:
switch(config)# ivr device pwwn pwwn fcns register vsan vsan-id
In this example, pWWN is the port pWWN of the device and vsan-id is the VSAN that contains the
incomplete FCNS entries.
• CSCsk51193
Symptom: Following an upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.2(1) on a Cisco MDS 9124
switch, an interface is shown as up, but there is no FLOGI information for the port in the FLOGI
database.
Workaround: Set the port mode to F.
• CSCin95789
Symptom: When you configure Cisco Traffic Analyzer to capture traffic on one or more interfaces
on a Windows platform, the configuration web page might not show that the interface has been
selected for traffic capture even though traffic capture on that interface is enabled.
Workaround: Check the logs to clarify that the correct interface has been selected.
• CSCsd21187
Symptom: If an iSNS client tries to register a portal separately after registering the network entity
and storage node object with the Cisco MDS iSNS server, the portal registration might fail.
Workaround: Register the portal at the same time as the network entity and storage node object
registration.
