individually was added. That means that individual traps need to be turned on explicitly after the corresponding trap group is turned on. After the upgrade from Fabric OS 4.2.0 firmware, individual traps are turned off by default even if the corresponding trap group was turned on before the upgrade. Therefore, if you have been previously monitoring these traps, you need to use either snmpMibCapSet or the newer snmpconfig command to turn the desired traps on individually.
Problem determination Fabric OS 5.0.5f features the fcPing command, which provides the ability to check Fibre Channel connectivity between any two nodes in a fabric. Fabric OS 5.0.5a fixes Table 2 lists improvements included in Fabric OS 5.0.5a. Table 2 Fabric OS 5.0.5a closed defects Closed Defects Host cannot see a specific device on 2Gb platforms: SAN Switch 2/32, Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128. The workaround if not upgrading to this latest 5.0.
Closed Defects During stress testing, after fastboot on a fully-loaded 4/256 SAN Director a few E_ports and F_ports may stay in "Mod_Val" mode. If not upgrading to this Fabric OS 5.0.5b release the workaround is to disable and enable the port that is stuck in the Mod-Val state. During 3rd party SFP qualification testing with certain types of SFP, a high number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and low level interrupt (LLI) errors were reported by porterrshow.
Fabric OS 5.0.5e fixes Table 6 lists improvements included in Fabric OS 5.0.5e. Table 6 Fabric OS 5.0.5e closed defects Closed Defects Fabric Watch daemon panics with bad memory access and memory leak causing switch panic and hafailover. In Interop mode, zoned may die after cfgclear and cfgsave due to incorrectly initialized variable causing read past end of buffer, leading to core dump. Fspf daemon assert causes switch panic and hafailover during fspf updates from active CP.
