HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.1.1b Release Notes (AA-RWEEG-TE, April 2007)

Issue
Workaround
Do not try to merge fabrics with conflicting
domain IDs over a VE_Port.
Before merging two fabrics over FC-IP with
VE_Ports at each end, it is recommended
that all domain ID and zoning conflicts are
resolved.
If there is an already segmented port and
backbone devices are exported to an edge
fabric, a build
fabric/fabric reconfiguration
can occur after running haFailover
Ensure that ther
earenosegmentedports
before upgrading firmware.
When you use the diagnostic
commands systemVerification
and diagSetBurnin, the switch or blade
will fault when the burn-in error log is full.
Clear the burn-in log before
running systemVerification or
diagSetBurnin.
NoofflinediagnosticscommandareHA
safe.
All offline diagnostics commands should be
used only when the switch is disabled.
SFPs shoul
d not be inserted while running
Power-On Self Test (POST).
POST can fail if new SFPs are added during
POST. SFPs should only be added while the
switch is “online” or if the switch is powered
off .
Password policies should be changed before
downgrading to versions previous to Fabric
OS 5.1.x.
Remove any password enforced expiration of
admin or root accounts before downgrading
firmware to 5.0.1 or low er versions.
fcrDisable command behavior when an
MP Router is present in the backbone fabric.
If an MP Router is present i n the backbone
fabric, the command fcrDisable may
take up to 8 minutes to complete. If the
MP Router is replaced by a B-Series MP
Router blade or the later 400 MP Router, the
command completes immediately.
Spinfab issues with E_Ports
If the
re are ISLs present on the switch that
are n
ot used for routing (due to higher links),
disable the links before running spinfab .
