• crashconf displays incorrect size for dump devices FibrChanl-01 now supports dump devices that are greater than 2TB in size. However, crashconf displays an incorrect size for dump devices that are greater than 4TB. Corrective action: Install patch PHCO_36550 to fix this problem. This patch is delivered in the HWEnable11i patch bundle on the HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) OEUR media for December 2007. You may also check availability of the patch at the HP IT Resource Center site: http:// itrc.hpc.
• Configuring an alternate path on the same 2–Port HBA as the primary path On midrange and high end Integrity servers, if the primary and alternate boot devices are on the same Fibre Channel HBA port, an attempt to manually boot from the alternate device will fail. For example, if your primary and alternate paths are set as follows: Primary bootpath: 0/0/10/1/0/4/0.8.0.255.0.7.0 Alternate bootpath: 0/0/10/1/0/4/0.8.0.255.0.0.
