Known Problems and Limitations This section provides a list of known problems and limitations as known to HP at time of publication. If workarounds are available, they are included. • EFI SEARCH Causes Boot to Fail on rx7640, rx8640, and sx2000 Superdome Server Systems Running the SEARCH command at the EFI shell on rx7640, rx8640, and HP Integrity Superdome/SX2000 server systems can cause the system to fail to boot through a Fibre Channel HBA. rx7640 systems have a built-in SEARCH of slot 7.
• Increased Boot Time with Unconnected fcd HBA Ports System boot time will be increased if there are unconnected fcd HBA ports (i.e., HBA ports controlled by the fcd driver). This happens because an ioscan is performed as a part of the boot process for HP-UX . When an ioscan is performed for the first time for an fcd HBA port, the fcd driver waits for 21 seconds before declaring the port offline. This is only an issue during boot, because at boot time the HBA ports are scanned sequentially.
Requirements for Boot Support: AD193A/AD194A, 403619–B21, AB378A, AB378B, AB379A, AB379B. A6826A. A9782A, A9784A, AB465A To boot through the fibre channel ports on these adapters, HP recommends that you update the EFI driver and onboard firmware to the latest version. The following table lists the recommended EFI and firmware versions at the release of FibrChanl-01 (fcd) driver, version B.11.23.
