Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, if a CT/ELS pass-through command timed out, the QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel adapter created a firmware dump. With this update, firmware dumps are no longer created when CT/ELS pass-through requests time out as a firmware dump is not necessary in this case.
