HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.X Advanced Web Tools Administrator Guide (AA-RVHYB-TE, September 2005)

Fabric OS 5.x Advanced Web Tools administrator guide 145
Platform-specific limitations
Table 15 lists Advanced Web Tools limitations that are specific to the Core Switch 2/64 and to the SAN
Director 2/128 and 4/256 SAN Director when they are configured to have two domains.
Limitations when using the Mozilla browser
Table 16 lists limitations in Advanced Web Tools that occur when you use the Mozilla browser on a Linux
system. These limitations do not occur when using Internet Explorer on Windows systems.
Windows operating
systems
Occasionally, you do not see the Lost connection to the switch
message on the Switch View, even though the Ethernet connection has been lost.
You might still be able to invoke various features from Switch View, such as
Status, Fan Temp, Power, and Beacon. This problem might be seen in the Core
Switch 2/64, for example, when you see the Lost connection to the
switch error for a single switch in the chassis, when a lost connection affects
both logical switches.
Workaround: Verify Ethernet connection to the switch by pinging the logical
switch IP address.
Zone Admin The accessibility matrix in the Zone Admin module does not show hosts and
devices zoned by QuickLoop AL_PA as being accessible to each other.

Table 15 Platform-specific limitations
Problem area Details
Switch View Neither CP is updated in the Switch View (see Figure 3 on page 26)
when switch 0 is being rebooted. The CP data displayed on this Switch
View is dependent on switch 0, and that data is not available when
switch 0 is rebooting.
Workaround: Wait until the reboot is finished and Switch View polling
occurs; the CPs are then updated properly.
Java Plug-in The Java Plug-in might sometimes have problems focusing on a particular
field in an open applet if you have the same window open for both
logical switches.
Workaround: When this problem occurs, close and relaunch the
affected applet.
Table 16 Advanced Web Tools limitations when using the Mozilla browser
Problem area Details
Mozilla Browser on Red Hat
operating system
On the Red Hat platform, the default system font size is larger than on
other platforms. This can cause tabbed panes to not line up. There is no
impact on functionality.
Mozilla Browser on Solaris
operating system
On a Solaris/Mozilla browser, some pop-up windows (for example, the
firmware download completion message and Performance Monitor dialog
boxes) display in the background, behind other windows. This can give
the appearance of a session hang.
Workaround: If you are apparently locked out of other windows in the
Solaris/Mozilla environment, look for a pop-up window that needs to be
dismissed before proceeding further.
