On the B-Series MP Router Blade or 400 MP Router, the proxy PID is
improperly converted to 000000 for an ACC to a REC extended link
requestwhenanEX_Portisconfigured for interop mode. As a result,
Tape backup may not work with devices in McDATA edge fabrics
across the Router due to an improper response to a REC extended
link request to a tape device.

Solution
I/O Ops fail
ure due to incorrect CUP Port PDCM bit for port 256 after
firmwareupg
rade from FOS v5.1.x to FOSv5.2.x/5.3.x in FICON
environme
nt.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.
With McDATA edge switches in the fabric, 400 MP Router or FR4-18i
router port receives periodic RRQ & ABTS frames due to the McDATA
switch sending unsupported CT command. Routers don’t respond,
which causes McDATA switch to retry indefinitely.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c to reject
the unsupported CT command.
After switchdisable & switchenable,all400MPRouters
or FR4-18i routers, proxydevices and nameserver entries no longer
match what was previously recorded. "fcrrproxydevshow -a" shows 0
devices and translate domains are m issing from the edge fabric. This
is due to a timing issue while in open fabric interop mode with i10k
switch when 2nd I FL is connected to the same switch in the fabric as
the 1st IFL, and 1st IFL is fully up.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.
Hosts lose paths to targets due to FCR daemon failing to send
GA_NX
T response from 400 MP Router to host connecting to
McDATA switch in open fabric mode. Caused by incorrect domain
offset in its address translation.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.
When FRU in a 4/256 Director is inserted/removed a
fruHistoryTrap should be generated, but is not.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c. Note
that fruStatusChangeTrap
will not be generated with FRU
insert/remove.
After upgrading switches to FOS 5.3.0, the Web Tools G UI bar
showing the "Initializing Switch Details" will get stuck at 93% if
the client’s regional and language settings are set to some non-US
languages such as Dutch, Russian, and Greek. English, French,
German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional
Chinese, Japanese and Korean work fine.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.
A PLOGI received by 400 MP Router or FR4-18i prior to address
translation table being programmed may not get the correct domain
n
ame offset while op erating in the open fabric mode, leading to
inability to boot over FCR connection for host that doesn’t retry PLOGI.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.
Web Tools shows Ethernet speed at 0, even though it’s operating at
correct speed, d ue to underlying MAPS returning speed type rather
than proper speed.
Fixed in Fabric OS 5.3.0c.
