Bug 112359

Description of problem:
 I'm running into problems with the v6.06.00b11 driver that is native 
to RHEL 3.0 when attached to a McData switch.  When the v6.06.00b11 
driver loads, it does not successfully scan the devices. 
The host environment (134) is as follows:  
RHEL 3.0
QLogic QLA2344
QLogic driver v6.06.00b11
BIOS v1.34
McData DS24M2 firmware v6.00.00.00.60
I have attached the host to both a Symm and CLARiiON arrays and the 
behavior is the same for both array types.
For a comparison, I also tried the v6.07.00b13 driver on this same 
host.  Initially, it logged in properly, but then after rebooting, it 
failed to log in.

I hooked another RHEL 3.0 host up with the following environment:
RHEL 3.0
QLogic 2xQLA2340s
QLogic driver v6.06.00b11
BIOS v1.34
McData DS24M2 firmware v6.00.00.00.60
I have attached the host to both a Symm and CLARiiON arrays and the 
behavior is the same for both array types.  
The host failed to log into the switch and scan the devices properly 
when using the v6.06.00b11 driver.  I tried the v6.07.00b13 driver 
and the driver/host successfully logged into the switch and scanned 
the devices.

I have also seen this unsuccessful login/scan with both the RHEL 2.1 
v6.04.01 driver and the EMC-approved v6.05.00 driver.

I will attach the /var/log/messages files and Finisar traces to this 
bugzilla entry once it's saved.  Would you please review the Finisar 
traces and the messages files and let me know what your analysis is? 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Attach RHEL 3.0 host using QLogic HBA and driver v6.06.00b11 to 
McData switch.
2.  Reboot the host or load the Qlogic driver.
3.  Watch the driver load and report errors.
  
Actual results:
Driver fails to log into switch and scan devices successfully.


Expected results:
Driver should log into switch and scan devices successfully.
