4/256 SAN Director
• Customers upgrading SAN Director 2/128 units from fabric OS 5.0.5 to
5.2 . 0 while in chassisconfig option 3 or 4 will not get sufficient notification
in the session error message or firmwaredownloadstatus command
abouthowtocorrecttheproblem.
• Before moving the slider UP on a Control Processor blade that is being
activated, observe that amb er LED is not ON for the active CP for at least
5 seconds and all LEDs are off on new inser ted CP.
• In a core-edge design, when a fully populated 384-port 4/256 SAN
Director (populated with eight FC4-48 blades) is an edge switch in a
large SAN, it can experience high CPU utilization and may panic if it
becomes a principal switch. SAN design best practice recommends
deploying a high por t-count switch as both core and principal switch to
reduce fabric stress and provide ease of management.
