Doc Text: |
Previously, timing issues could cause the FIP (FCoE Initialization Protocol) FLOGIs to timeout even if there were no problems. This caused the kernel to go into a non-FIP mode even though it should have been in the FIP mode. With this update, the timing issues no longer occur and the kernel no longer switches to the non-FIP mode when logging to the Fibre Channel Switch/Forwarder.

in kernel-2.6.32-71.4.1.el6 Cannot reproduce this issue with "Emulex LPe12002-M8". It's firmware version is : 1.11A5 (U3D1.11A5), sli-3 Kernel version: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 Reboot 5 times, no lpfc kernel panic came out. As comment #1 spot out: >Emulex believes there is exposure to this issue in large SAN environment where >the device discovery process could see delayed responses which result in iocbs >being queued. Do we need a large SAN environment to reproduce this issue?
