HP A6684A and A6685A HSC Fibre Channel Adapter Release Notes
Known Problems and Workarounds (11i)
Release, the June 2001 Application Release, or the web release version of the HSC Tachlite
driver (B.11.11.06), before you install the adapter.
3. The following is a description of a problem that occurs with the Brocade switch. It is not a
problem with the A6684A or A6685A adapter or software. We document it here for
customers who use Brocade switches in Fabric mode in a Public Loop topology.
Problem: In Fabric mode, when multiple hosts are connected on the same switch using a
hub (especially two hosts), FLOGI gets timed out when a host changes from Point-to-Point
to a Loop topology. This problem occurs with Fabric mode only and not with QuickLoop.
Fix: Use the telnet command, portCfgLport, to lock the port in loop mode (L_Port) when
multiple hosts or targets are connected on a single switch port. This command insures that
nport_id addresses will not change during temporary transitions and will not cause any
subsequent FLOGI time-outs. This problem is fixed in Brocade firmware revision V2.1.9d
and later releases.
The portCfgLport command is clearly documented in the Brocade release notes for
V2.1.9d and in the Brocade Man pages.
Dependencies
The following dependencies are not A6684A or A6685A adapter problems, but you may
encounter them during installation or when booting the system. Therefore, they are listed as
dependencies.
You may see the following SD (Software Distributor) warnings and errors when you install the
software using swinstall. These messages are related only to SD. They do not apply to the
HSC Tachlite products. This problem will be fixed in a later version of SD.
• During the swinstall step, the following warnings are logged in the swagent.log file:
WARNING: The filesystems in the filesystem table will not be checked
against those currently mounted because the “mount_all_filesystems” option
is set to “false.”
You can ignore the message, or you can set the “mount_all_filesystems” option to “true”
and make sure that all the fstab entries are available.
WARNING: The Analysis Phase had warnings. See the above output for details.
This message is related to the previous warning. You can ignore this message.
The following messages are logged in the swremove.log file during swremove and
swinstall.
ERROR: Could not apply the software selection
