When running a third-party host scan, the http daemon
(weblinker.fcg) terminats and restarts several times, causing a
temporary management service interruption.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0b
HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director panics due to a termination of
msd during fabric reconfiguration while executing a switchdis-
able—agshow—switchenable loop in a fabric with an Access
Gateway device with more than 56 switches.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0b
The SNMP manager gets incorrect MIB information from a switch
running Fabric OS 6.1.x due to a change in SwFwEPortUtil and Sw-
FwEPortPktl between SW_v5_7 to SW_v5_8 MIB.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0b
In a 2408 FCoE Switch and a 10/24 FCoE Blade, when CNA sends
FIP ver=0, the switch should not validate the MAC descriptor field for
backwards compatibility, but it does, leading to the switch rejecting
the login.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0b
Supportsave does not clear the FFDC files, leading to continued
FFDC file warnings being issued until a second supportsave is taken.

Workaround prior to upgrade: Do a
slotpoweroff/slotpoweron of
the router blade or reboot.
HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director with multiprotocol router blade
does not see a new device across LSAN after upgrading from Fabric
OS 5.x non-disruptively to Fabric OS 6.2.x. Bounce of host port causes
paths to be lost between the host and target. This problem is relevant
only to this particular router blade and only after upgrading to Fabric
OS 6.2.x.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0c
Workaround prior to upgrade: If
problem has already occurred,
bounce all EX_Ports in the same chip
together. After recovery, fabric is no
longer susceptible to the problem.
When integrated routing is running, FCR can fail to route traffic on 8
Gb EX_Ports of HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director after upgrading
firmware from Fabric OS 6.1 to 6.2.x. If there is an additional
hafailover after upgrading firmware, a new device is added and
bouncing device ports can trigger a routing problem, causing the host
to not see the device.
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.3.0c
Switch panic occurs when management application performs repeat
FCP LUN emulation queries. If the device gives an inappropriate re-
sponse, or no response, to an FCP LUN request, FCP Daemon retries
the query and the thread becomes stuck. Any new FCP LUN request
that is issued from the management application generates a new thread.
Eventually FCP Daemon generates up to the maximum number of allowed
threads, leading to the switch panic.
