Problem 1------- The following Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Common HBA API calls will not work correctly with an A9784A card:

  • HBA_GetNumberOfAdapters() - This SNIA API call will not include any A9784A cards in the count of cards supported by the library.

  • HBA_GetAdapterAttributes() - This SNIA API call will not correctly report the speed of the Fibre Channel port on an A9784A card. Other attributes will still be correctly retrieved.

This issue (detailed in JAGaf04234) may impact applications that use the SNIA Common HBA API libraries, such as SAN Management applications. For example, a SAN Management application may be unable to detect all of the cards on a system that has an A9784A card.Cause ----- The HP-specific implementation of the SNIA Common HBA API library prevents the A9784A card from being correctly recognized.Workaround:

There is currently no workaround available for this issue.Fix --- The fix for this issue will be released in AR0604 in FCD version B.11.11.03

Problem 2-------There is a known problem when running the Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) from either the A9782A or A9784A card.

Issue:Running the ODE diagnostics tools from a boot device attached to A9782A or A9784A will cause the following error message to be displayed: Configuring the System...** Could Not Reset Boot Device ** ** IODC Returned An Error Status Of -4 **

Workaround:There are two temporary workarounds in order to run the ODE tools. Boot and run the ODE diagnostics from either:

  • the HP-UX 11i Support Plus disk or,

  • a storage device not attached to the A9782A or A9784A.

A permanent fix for this will be released on the June 2004 HWEnable11i bundle located on either the June 2004 Operating Environment disk or Support Plus disk.
