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 boot fails when connected to an Arbitrated Loop device This applies to HP 8Gb and 4Gb 2 Port QLogic Mezzanine HBA s (part numbers 451871–B21 and 403619–B21).
• If a system is low on available contiguous memory, an online addition can fail The failure will be seen with messages similar to the following: #sd10vp3 :/> olrad -A 8-0-1-5 Activity : Start of Post Add Target slot : 8-0-1-5 Addition of the card in progress... [ NOTE: Killing or otherwise aborting this olrad command may not cancel the Card Add operation.
Corrective action: Install patch PHCO_36356 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:// itresourcecenter.hp.
• Using ioscan with krm Not Running When ioscan is run with the —fn or —Fn option, and the kernel resource monitor (krm) is not running, there could be stale krm device files in the system, which would correspond to different devices, including fcd, in ioscan output. This issue has no impact on the functionality of the Fibre Channel port; however, ioscan output may be confusing. This issue can impact any card accessible with ioscan, and is not specific to the cards supported by the fcd driver.
