The issue caused incorrect data to be swapped in and out, which resulted in application core dumps or kernel panics. The issue is present in FibrChanl-02 software (fclp driver) versions B.11.23.0706 and B.11.23.0709; version B.11.23.
This issue will be addressed in a future system firmware update. It can be caused by entering the EFI shell without having configured boot devices in the EFI driver's configuration screens. There are three workarounds for this issue: — — — • Return to the Boot Manager, enter and exit the EFI shell a second time, and retry the boot; or, Reset the system and retry the boot; or, Configure the EFI driver to always map the boot devices using the drvcfg -s at the EFI shell prompt.
