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. Additional info:

We are planning to update the Qlofic driver in U2/U4. We will need you to test the beta version of this release to confirm the fix.
This problem was fixed in RHEL3 U2 with the upgrade of the Qlogic driver to version 6.07.10 in kernel version 2.4.21-9.14.EL.
Oops, make that 6.07.01.
Or 6.07.02, even. (Sorry, it's late on Friday.)
