23HP StorageWorks Edge Switch release notes
Ports may accumulate spurious events
A port may accumulate Invalid transmission word and Bit-Error Threshold Link
Incident events when a transceiver is poorly seated, resulting in a poor ground
connection.
Workaround
Reseating the optical transceiver corrects the problem.
Possible switch reset after power failure or power off sequence
In extremely rare instances, after a power failure or power off sequence, an edge
switch or director configuration may be reset to factory default settings. This is
evident when HAFM is unable to communicate with the edge switch or director
after being powered on. This condition occurs because the IP address assigned to
the edge switch or director has been reset to the factory default value (10.1.1.10).
Workaround
If this condition occurs, the configuration of the edge switch or director must be
restored, and the IP address must be restored. Also, all licensed features need to be
reactivated by entering the license keys again.
Deleting a certain switch binding member using EWS may cause an error
An error 154 Invalid membership list occurs if you delete the last
member on the last page of the Switch Binding Membership List, and then you
delete the last member on the first page of the Switch Binding Membership List.
Workaround
Add additional members to the end of the list, and then you delete the intended
member.
SNMP issues
SNMP traps warmStart and coldStart are not always received across
Ethernet switches.
Workaround
None.
