Known IssuesThe <strong>SANsurfer</strong> <strong>FC</strong> <strong>HBA</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>, version 5.0.1 build 46, has the following known issues:●●●●●●●●●●●Virtual port connected targets on Windows are not shown. This will be added in a later release.When running the older Linux 7 series driver (7.07.06) with the newer <strong>SANsurfer</strong> release, ensurethat <strong>SANsurfer</strong> is installed last to get the proper API.When running older drivers (those released prior to this version of <strong>SANsurfer</strong>) with the newer<strong>SANsurfer</strong>, the PCIe port information shows the value as UNKNOWN.QLA23xx adapters running the Windows 2003 STORport Miniport driver do not support the followingfeatures and functionality:❍ Failover❍ Load balancing❍ Current pathIf the qlsdm_dbsem_2 file is left behind in /var/tmp/.SEMD, <strong>QLogic</strong> <strong>SANsurfer</strong> will fail to open anyadapters during initialization.Workaround: Remove the file manually. The specific default file absolute path is:/var/tmp/.SEMD/qlsdm_dbsem_2NOTE: There is no standard for the /var/tmp folder, which the TMPDIR system environmentvariables can overwrite. Check your specific system for the exact value.When running the installer on Linux IA64, the following message may appear:Command.run(): process completed before monitors could start.This message is cosmetic and not meant for display.When running the <strong>SANsurfer</strong> <strong>FC</strong> <strong>HBA</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> GUI on Linux IA64, the following message mayappear:Oct 24 15:34:21 rh4u4ia64-210 kernel: java(zzzzz): floating-point assist fault at ipxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, isr yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyThis message is cosmetic and not meant for display.On Mac OS X, if you remove the <strong>QLogic</strong> adapter driver prior to removing <strong>SANsurfer</strong> <strong>FC</strong> <strong>HBA</strong><strong>Manager</strong>, the system places qlremote into /startupitems if no <strong>QLogic</strong> adapter drivers are installed;however, after installing the driver, it does not start.Workaround: Re-install <strong>SANsurfer</strong> <strong>FC</strong> <strong>HBA</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>.This tool version does not support updating adapter Flash on the RHEL 5 inbox driver version8.01.07-k1.To update a failover driver, make sure the /etc/modprobe.conf (.local) includes the parameterql2xfailover=1. Without the parameter, the driver will be updated as a non-failover.The agent (qlremote) update feature is supported on Windows, Linux, and Solaris.❍To update the agent on Solaris, select the new “qlremote” from the update Solaris directory,located directly under the <strong>SANsurfer</strong> installation directory structure (usually /opt/<strong>QLogic</strong>_Corporation/<strong>SANsurfer</strong>).❍ To update the agent on Windows and Linux, refer to the <strong>SANsurfer</strong> <strong>FC</strong> <strong>HBA</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> helptopic, “Updating the qlremote agent.”NOTE: Agent update is not supported when connected using localhost.5.
