release notes - edge switch 2/32 Supported Configurations Operation of multiple switches in a fabric topology is subject to the following topology limits. Consider the impact of these limits when planning the fabric. NOTE: For more information about planning the fabric, refer to hp StorageWorks product in a SAN environment - planning guide for director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32.
release notes - edge switch 2/32 Verify that connectors interfacing with the edge switch 2/32 use LC Duplex connectors with a PC finish. In addition, the connector at the opposite end of the cable must use either LC or SC type, depending on the requirements of the connected device. Known Issues This section describes the known issues related to the edge switch 2/32.
release notes - edge switch 2/32 ISL Disconnect Causes NOS Error with the OpenVMS Operating Systems When an ISL connection is physically removed between directors or switches, the Fibre Channel Adapter model FCA2354 transmits a Not Operational Sequence (NOS) error. This is observed as an entry in the HAF server Link incident log for the port in which the FCA2354 is attached. The director’s Hardware View also displays a yellow triangle icon over the port that detected this incident.
release notes - edge switch 2/32 Reinstalling Feature Licenses Feature Licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on a Flexport switch to regain use of all available ports. Multiple FC HBA Ports in Separate Zones Multiple FC HBA ports in the same host should be placed in separate zones or they might be perceived as potential targets (some HBA's log-in as both host and target).
release notes - edge switch 2/32 Workaround Please utilize the following procedure if this is needed for your SAN deployment. 1. PRIOR to fabric build, set the R_A_TOV value of all edge switches and directors to 200 tenths of a second or 20 seconds. This has to be done in the Operating Parameters of each SAN device. 2. In the Operating Parameters of each edge switch, set Switch Priority value to Never Principal. 3.
release notes - edge switch 2/32 Hot Insertion of Optical Transceiver may Produce Port Failure Events There should be no impact to the switching and throughput capabilities of the switch and the error event can be cleared. 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 will correct the problem.
