HP Fabric OS 6.2.2f Release Notes (5697-1756, February 2012)

NOTE: When configuring multipath LUNs, care should be taken to add LUN 0 on all of the paths,
subject to the following considerations:
• If LUN 0 presented by the back-end target is a controller LUN (not a disk LUN; that is, not
visible in the discoverLUN output), add LUN 0 to the container as a clear text LUN. Make
sure all of the paths have this LUN 0 added for MPIO operation (EVA configuration, for
example).
• If LUN 0 presented by the back-end target is a disk LUN, LUN 0 can be added to the container
either as clear text or encrypted (MSA configuration, for example).
• For HP-UX, LUN 0 can appear as 0x0 or 0x400, but both of them are LUN 0 only and should
be treated alike.

SolutionClosed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1Sshd allows admin login to execute root-level Linux commands, but admin
CLI commands fail with a command not found error.
Workaround prior to update: A
workaround to facilitate execution of
admin level CLI commands using ssh, is
to use syntax similar to ssh -l admin
192.168.1.12 rbash --login -c
switchshow. Or, if a command is
needed that works on both older (correctly
operating) Fabric OS and the
newer/affected Fabric OS: ssh -l
admin 192.168.1.12 switchshow
|| rbash --login -c
switchshow.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1On rare occasions, an extra RSCN is delivered when HA failover is
performed before the name server is in sync.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1Firmware is not enforcing a mandatory switch disable before configuring
the backbone fabric ID.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1Common Area Loader Daemon (CALD) shared memory is not released,
leading to high CPU load and inability to run many of the CLI commands;
causes no space left on device error.
Workaround prior to update: Run
hafailover prior to the upgrade.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1In mixed Fabric OS and M-EOSc fabric in interopmode 2, with more than
500 devices, nameserver database counts do not match. This issue does
not exist with M-EOSn based switches in a mixed fabric.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1Toggling the N_Port could cause the F_Port to get disabled, leading to the
crypto LUN getting stuck in a Not ready (LUN rediscovery) state with HP
StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch in Access Gateway mode.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1A switch having a zone object with an extra ";" or -p flag for a zone create
does not perform an error check for alphanumeric characters, which can
trigger loss of zone configuration after a firmware upgrade, or can cause
a switch panic after the cfgenable command.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1In Access Gateway mode, the FDMI database does not show proper
information after disabling the port connected to an HBA. Brocade_Software
Identity instance for the remaining node is missing in Brocade SMIA.
