21HP StorageWorks Edge Switch release notes
Known issues
This section describes the known issues related to the Edge Switch 2/12, Edge
Switch 2/24, and Edge Switch 2/32.
Certain unauthorized devices may increase response time for fabric operations
under specific conditions with the Edge Switch 2/24
When Port Binding is enabled, unauthorized devices (devices that are not set up
by the Port Binding) with older technology can transmit numerous fabric login
(FLOGI) requests, which are rejected by the Edge Switch 2/24. Processing these
exchanges may increase fabric response times for activities such as fabric builds
and valid FLOGI response time for other ports.
Workaround
Remove the unauthorized device, change the Port Binding WWN (if this device
should be authorized), or alternatively, disable Port Binding.
HSG80 transparent mode not supported with IBM AIX
Use of an HSG80 with IBM AIX is restricted to operating the HSG80 in Multibus
mode with the Edge Switch 2/12, Edge Switch 2/24, and Edge Switch 2/32.
Transparent mode is not supported at this time.
Workaround
None.
HSG80 transparent mode not recommended with controller in SCSI-3 mode with
HP-UX operating systems
Due to an issue with non-existent duplicate LUNs being displayed with the
HP-UX operating systems, the HSG80 controller is restricted to SCSI-2 mode of
operation when set to Transparent failover mode.
SCSI-3 mode of operation in Multibus failover mode is fully supported with the
use of Secure Path software, 3.0 or later versions.
Workaround
None.
