You may see sluggish response from the CLI when the switch is in a large fabric (12
or more switches and/or more than 350 devices), and the fabric is being discovered.
For example, fabric discovery would occur when adding a new switch to the fabric.
Discovering the fabric can take from one to five minutes depending on zoning size
and the number of switches.
16756
When upgrading firmware while in maintenance mode, the message WARNING: This
key is not certified with a trusted signature ... appears. This message is
incorrect and should be ignored.
17650
When running internal port loopbacks on a QLogic 5800V/5802V switch, intermittent
failures may be seen when inter-switch links are present. The workaround is to put
the switch in diagnostic mode, or to remove the inter-switch links.
The switch may have difficulty communicating with the DHCPv6 server with certain
options enabled. The following lines in the server.conf file on the DHCPv6 server
host should be commented out:

option nis+-server 2000::501,2000::502
option nis+-domain nisplus.example.com
If QLogic 5800VSeries Switches are configured in a stack with cascading 10G ISLs
(only one ISL between each switch), an Emulex 8G adapter (LP 1200x) running
traffic can experience a timeout when a stack NDCLA or hot reset is performed
using Enterprise Fabric Suite. If the 10G ISL configuration follows QLogic best
practices, the timeout does not occur. For information about best practices and
stacking, see the Stacking section of QLogic 5800V Series Stackable Fibre Channel
Switch Installation Guide, firmware version 8.0).
QuickTools
10750
While running QuickTools, if the IP address of the entry switch is changed, online
help not will open. To access the online help, close the current QuickTools session,
and then reopen QuickTools using the new IP address.
15438
You may see sluggish response from QuickTools when the switch is in a large fabric
(12 or more switches and/or more than 350 devices), and the fabric is being
discovered. For example, fabric discovery would occur when adding a new switch to
the fabric. Discovering the fabric can take from one to five minutes depending on
zoning size and the number of switches.
16999
When a new fabric is added, the Fabric Status bar may incorrectly show a warning
condition related to Nicknames differ. This warning goes away when the fabric is
fully discovered, and nickname conflicts between switches are resolved.

To open the online help in QuickTools on a Mac OS platform, the default browser
must be set to a browser other than the one used to open QuickTools.
