translation table being programmed may not get the correct domain
name offset while operating in the open fabric mode, lead ing to
inability to boot over FCR connection for host that doesn’t retry PLOGI.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.
Web Tools shows Ethernet speed at 0, even though it’s operating at
correct speed, due to underlying MAPS returning speed type rather
than proper speed.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.

Solution
During POST & system verification tests, customer may see false
failures from stress tests only intended for engineering design
verification.
Removed "minicycle" for all
platformsaswellascertaintestsfor
multi-protocol router blade, & iSCSI
blade, with 5.3.0d.
When port type can’t be determined on 4/256 director during
filter install for any ports greater than 256 (for example, installing
Performance Monitor on an offline port), filter could be programmed
incorrectly. If FC4-48 blade port greater than 256 is then enabled
as ISL, all frames will be dropped. Can also happen at corner event
timing sequence during port initialization, resulting in host not seeing
the target.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0d.
Switch panic can occur due to HBA not shuttin g off light and sending
invalid primitives during boot, c ausing port "LOSS of SYNC" and
generating too many interrupts.
Firmware changed to fault the port to
avoid too many interrupts generated
to CPU in a short period of time with
5.3.0d.
Certain Web Tools issues exist (i.e. does not display fabric event
information with "https" access, & is unable to open Web Tools
GUI from laptop).
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0d.
Cold boot of a heavily loaded chassis on the Brocade 4Gb
SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem during POST causes an
unexpected interrupt whereby POST fails a nd the switch faults.
Fabric OS 5.3.0d changed to delay
processing interrupts during POST.

Solution
Management Server Daemon (MSD) panic occurs on switch during
fabric initialization. When fabric hasn’t initialized its database during
fabric initialization, MSD gets ipaddress of switches in fabric which
couldleadtomemorycorruptionandcauseMSDtopanic.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
