QXCR1000994941 This fixes the issue in the fcd driver that can intermittently result in a mailbox timeout fatal error.
Table 12 HP-UX September 2008 Fixes Defect ID N/A Description There are no fixes for the September 2008 release. Table 13 HP-UX March 2008 Fixes Defect ID Description QXCR1000754446 Added Symbolic Name support. Symbolic Names are user friendly names assigned to SAN components, and registered with the name server of an FC switch. FC switches display the registered symbolic names, which can be used by users to correlate SAN components across multiple servers and storage.
In aborting an I/O that is active with a FC target device, the FibrChan-01 (fcd) driver must wait for a period equal to the value of R_A_TOV before returning the I/O with aborted status to the mass storage stack. This means the new path addition and subsequent retry of I/O is delayed for a period equal to the value of R_A_TOV. This could result in applications that access the LUN experiencing I/O timeouts during new LUN path addition.
