HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.3.1 release notes (AA-RWEYI-TE, March 2008)

Backbone to edge trafficacrossFCIPlinksandISLsmaynotbe
evenly distributed across all possible routes (edge to backbone and
backbone to edge).
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
When disabling
an NPIV switch which has an Access Gateway
connected to it, the F-ports that failover to the other NPIV switch show
as “no device found” when running nszonemember for these F-ports.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
When perfMonitorShow –class ISL 0 command i s run,
someswitchesgiveincorrectoutputasfollows:The number of
destination domains monitored is set to zero.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Unexpected switch reboot may occur during hafailover.During
an upgrade, rcsd may get into an infinite loop and block RCS from
completing a sync dump, leaving RCS transaction hanging. Switch
panic may occur and traffic may be interrupted.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Flooding of an unknown inter-switch FDMI command from
non-Broca
de switch causes daemon to be killed due to out of memory
conditio
n, causing the switch to crash.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Linuxkernelissuemayoccuron2GbswitchesrunningFabricOS
5.3.0x caused by service daemon thread (fwd, nsd, fabricd)
becoming unresponsive due to deadlock condition. This can trigger
a panic, or snmpd hang.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Fabric OS crash occasionally seen when Access Gateway enabled
switch is rebooted with large number of Access Gateway devices in
the fabric.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
During fastwrite,specific third party device drops a frame that is
not 8 byte aligned.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
With 2Gb switches, hafailover under heavy load across ISLs,
followed by portdisable/portenable of E-ports causes port
blade fault with tx parity error (error 21).
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
When PID-2 change o ccurs, Web Tools incorrectly translates the PID
format in the NameSer ver and displays an incorrect account of the
area/ports contained in a zone or alias member list. This can also
happen when attempting to add to a zone or alias list, causing an
incorrectphysicalporttobeadded.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Dur
ing stress test with 2Gb switch, when receive buffer overflow
occurs, third party device por t is stuck in offlinestateformorethan
30 seconds. Portdisable/portenable will recover the port.
Fix
ed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Intermittent supportsave failure messages seen d uring
supportsave loop.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Traffic stops during FCIP testing with tape pipelining enabled, when
host floods the switch with Name Server query. This occurs because
the query response is not passed back to the host on the backbone
switch through the FCR router.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
When executing fastwrite with tape pipelining with a slow
r
esponding tape device, the switch sent improper frame causing tape
job to fail. Ultimately, this caused the initiator to lose access to the
tape drive.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
When FICON host sends PLOGI directly to a device immediately
after registering with the Ma n agement Server, PLOG I may be rejected
becausetheroutingtableshavenotbeenestablished.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
Incorrect GID FT response from Name Server caused host with
multiple HBAs to log errors during HBA IOP reset. When host does
its GID FT request, it gets a response for the other HBA though that
HBA didn’t register for FC4 type . Subsequent PLOGI, PRLI sequence
to the non-FC4 t ype HBA is rejected and an error logged on the host.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.1
