HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.3.0c Release Notes (AA-RWEYG-TE, November 2007)

During iSCSI 1024 session stress testing, one port lost multiple
sessions. Even though switchshow –iscsi showed less than 64
sessions, iSCSI initiator wasn’t able to log in to the t arget (out of
resources error).
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0
Incorrect GID_FT response from NameServer. NameServer assumes
device’s FC4 type is FCP when GID_FT request is sent to the switch
asking for PIDs of type FCP. PID of the sending device is incorrectly
included in the reply list.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0
Unable to merge an upgraded switch with a 4/256 with FC4-48
Blade when using domain/port zoning of the upper 32 ports of the
Blade. When creating D,P zoning definition using these upper 32
ports on FC4-48 connected to another switch running 5.1.0, the two
switches correctly segment due to zoning conflict. After upgrading
to 5.2.0, switches remain segmented, but segmentation should be
removed.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0

an HBA with “FC4-type not registered” error. HBA sees no devices.
Fixed i

implem
enting a more robust zone

ames.
In isolated cases, degraded performance can occur with the Brocade
4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem when internal ports
are operated at 4Gb /sec.
Fabric OS 5.3.0a optimizes certain
settings in the switch to address this
issue.

and
PWWN instead of host PWWN.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
scpd can crash on rare occasions due to memory leak in NS
API/library during NS queries.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
In Open mode, when F-Ports are connected to ports 16-47 on the
FC4-48 Blade with WWN zoning, the Zone enforcement shows
as SESSION BASED and the portcamshow command displays
misleading information.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
I
n frame redirect mode, GPN_NN query returns VI PWWN and PID
i
nstead of initiator PWWN and PID.
Fixed per Fabric OS 5.3.0a.
