Impact
Using certain sccli(1M) commands to manage a Sun StorEdge 3510 or 3511 Fiber Channel Array that is configured with more than 16 LUN masks (or filters) per LUN, may cause the controller to hang. As a result, the host (system) could experience a loss of access to the Sun StorEdge 3510 or 3511 LUNs.
Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
- Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array without patch 113723-10
- Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array without patch 113724-04
The described issue only occurs if both of the following are true:
1. More than 16 LUN masks (or filters) are created per LUN.
2. The "sccli show configuration" or the "sccli show lun-maps" commands are used with sccli(1M) version 1.5, 1.6, or 1.6.1 to manage a Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 Fiber Channel Array.
To determine the version of sccli(1M), run the following command:
# sccli -v
sccli version 1.5
Note: If more than 16 LUN masks (or filters) are used per LUN, StorADE should not be used.
