2.1 Console Changes this Release
Kgpsa driver - the console will fail to login into the fibre-channel fabric switch, if the connection is moved from
one switch port to another, on certain new Brocade fibre-channel switches.
Solution: When attempting to login to a fibre-channel switch port, use an SDID of zero and the switch will provide
the new SDID to the host adapter.
Wwidmgr - the console supports a number of environmental variables to facilitate boot and crash dump to fibre-
channel storage volumes. Presently there are four (4) WWIDx variables that define the world-wide-ID of a storage
volume and eight (8) Nx variables that define the path to the storage volumes. The console uses these variables to
define the volumes used for boot or crash dump devices.
Solution: Increase the number of Nx (16) and WWIDx (8) console environmental variables.
I/O Option Firmware - no changes

2.3 Show Bios/Run Bios Commands
The show bios command lists the location of controllers with a BIOS expansion ROM. Not all controllers have a
BIOS expansion ROM.
P00>>> show bios <hose> (use 0 or 1 for <hose> , default is 0)
The show bios command will reset the I/O buses after execution.
The run bios command invokes the BIOS expansion ROM on a supported PCI controller (For example, KZPCC-
CE). This command is commonly used to invoke functions or utilities in the expansion ROM. For example, the
KZPCC-CE uses the expansion ROM for its configuration utility.
P00>>> show config (use this command to get controller name)
