Error description
*************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * Systems running the 7100-02 Technology Level with * devices.pciex.df1060e214103404.com between and * including the 7.1.2.15 and 7.1.2.19 levels. *************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * In a VIOS environment where you have client LPARs using NPIV, * Emulex FC/FCoe HBA/CNA 10Gb or higher Fibre Channel adapter, * and there are SAN/fabric issues for the NPIV-enabled paths, * the VIOS may crash if commands needed for error recovery or * the fabric login sequence times out. * * This has typically been seen when an NPIV client is doing * fabric operations such as fabric discovery, relogin after a * path failure, or dynamic tracking operations. * * During these operations some fields in the fscsi driver * structures may be erroneously cleared. Later, when the * driver attempts to access these fields, it can result in a * system crash, hang, or other unexpected failure. *************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * Install APAR IV64283. ***************************************************************
