Table 5: Issues and Workarounds
Issue Workaround
The message Oops: kernel access of
bad area, sig: 11 is displayed and the
switch is reset.
The problem was caused by an error in the test
script, in which the Zoning cfg command was
issued to the Standby CP by accident.
Downloading configurations by line too quickly
on v4.2.x switches causes the switch to panic and
crash.
Do not execute repeated configdownload
commands in rapid succession.
New switch IP address does not take effect for
Web Tools and Fabric Manager in time.
If the IP address on a switch is changed, Fabric
Manager posts a message that you must restart
Fabric Manager to pick up the changes. After
restarting Fabric Manager, it does not pick up the
IP address change, retaining the old IP address
and causing a complete loss of communication to
the switch.
After changing a switch IP address, delete the
related fabric from Fabric Manager, restart Fabric
Manager, and then rediscover the fabric in Fabric
Manager.
Under heavy stress conditions, wait a few
minutes after restarting Fabric Manager for the
new switch IP address to take effect.
Running the supportshow command on both
the logical switches results in an
Out Of Memory
condition; the Zoning daemon terminates
Do not run the supportshow command on
both logical switches at the same time.
NoNodeWWNZoning: The cfgenable
command does not activate the feature.
Instead of issuing the cfgenable command,
first issue the cfgdisable command and then
cfgenable.
Post2 txdpath failed on blades with empty ports
(no sfp).
This defect affects the running of diagnostics only
on ports that do not have an sfp installed. You
can either install an SFP in all ports or use the
port list to specify only those ports with an sfp.
When configdownload succeeds on zoneDB,
but fails on sec policy, the primary fails to
propagate zoneDB to the fabric.
Correct your mistake in the Security section of the
configuration file and reissue the
configDownload command.
Do not reboot
the FCS before correcting the configuration file
.
The time stamp for firmware download from
Fabric Manager-Web Tools is off by 8 hours,
compared to the time on the switch.
