FibrChanl-02 (fclp) B.11.23.1003 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver for HP-UX 11i v2 Release Notes

Table 6 HP-UX December 2007 Fixes
DescriptionDefect ID
Fixed a critical issue which occurs when using the fclp driver to perform I/O to sequential
blocks of one LUN from mulitple virtual memory address spaces, such as I/O to a swap device.
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.11.23.0712 or later incorporates the fix. HP strongly
recommends that all users of fibre channel HBAs claimed by the fclp driver (AD299A or
AD355A) upgrade to version B.11.23.0712 or later.

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 is only bootable from the first boot entry device
This applies to the first boot entry device that is connected to an AD299A or AD355A.
Corrective action: The workaround for this issue is to re-arrange the boot list that is connected
to the adapters:
1. Select Boot Options Maintenance Menu from the EFI Boot Manager's main menu.
2. Use the following three Boot Options Maintenance Menu items to edit the boot
options list, so that the fibre device connected to an AD299A or AD355A is listed as the
first entry in the boot options list:
— Add A Boot Option: presents you with a list of possible boot devices, and
allows you to select one to add to your boot options list.
— Delete Boot Option(s): allows you to interactively delete one or more entries
from your boot options list.
— Change Boot Order: allows you to re-order your boot options list.
3. When the boot options list for your system has been re-ordered as you wish, select Exit
to return to the EFI Boot Manager's main menu, which should now reflect your edits
to the boot options list.
