Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.2(1)

OL-25090-01

  Caveats

2011 Jul 14 01:19:06 sw-dc5-br2-12 %PROC_MGR-SLOT3-2-ERR_MSG: ERROR: PID 1144 

(lc_mnt_mgr) exited abnormally, exit status (0xa)

2011 Jul 14 01:19:06 sw-dc5-br2-12 %MODULE-2-MOD_MINORSWFAIL: Module 3 (serial: 

JAE1141ZB43) reported a failure in service lc_mnt_mgr

This issue might be seen when the supervisor module is unusually busy and cannot process the 
mount request from the MSM-18/4 module, or the actual mount command on the supervisor takes a 
long time.

Workaround

: Reload the MSM-18/4 module in the same slot/module where the modflash mount 

failed. A request will be sent to the supervisor to mount the modflash. 

CSCtr52721

Symptom

: On the 48-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel switching module (DSX9248-256K9), 

port monitoring and alarms for Tx and Rx traffic can get disabled under some conditions for ports 
that have their speed set as “switchport speed auto.” 

Workaround

: Enter the

 switchport speed

 command to explicitly set the desired speed for the port, 

such as 

switchport speed 8000

.

CSCtr55608

Symptom

: Following the insertion of the 32-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel switching 

module (DSX9232-256K9), the following syslog message is displayed: 

2011 Jul 16 05:35:00 emc-9513-II %SYSMGR-STANDBY-3-UNACCEPTABLE_WAIT: Service "r

es_mgr", no response from System Manager after 10 seconds. Terminating.

This issue might be seen if you enter the

 no install feature-set fcoe

 command, then power down the 

32-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel switching module, and then insert the module again, which 
triggers the 

install feature-set fcoe 

command. 

Workaround

: None. This is a not an operationally impacting issue because it happens on the 

standby supervisor, and the standby supervisor can successfully come up in spite of the syslog 
message.

CSCtn68418

Symptom

: When you try to save a configuration, you might see the following message:

switch# 

copy run start

[########################################] 100%

Configuration update aborted: request was aborted

 %DAEMON-3-SYSTEM_MSG: ntp:can't open /mnt/pss/ntp.drift.TEMP: No space left on device 

- ntpd[xxxx]

%PLATFORM-2-MEMORY_ALERT: Memory Status Alert : MINOR

%PLATFORM-2-MEMORY_ALERT: Memory Status Alert : MINOR ALERT RECOVERED

`show system internal flash` output will display /isan as 100% full.

Mount-on                  1K-blocks      Used   Available   Use%  Filesystem

/                            204800     54624      150176     27   /dev/root

/proc                             0         0           0      0   proc

/isan                        409600    409576          24    100   none

This symptom was seen because the Call Home feature had duplicate message throttling disabled 
and there were flapping interfaces that generated thousands of Call Home messages. These 
messages filled up the ISAN directory.

Workaround

: To work around this issue, enable Call Home duplicate message throttling. If you find 

that the /isan directory is 100 percent full, open a TAC case to get assistance with deleting the files.
