DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH --------------------------------------- This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents: Patch ID: 6.0.300.100 * 3106494 (Tracking ID: 3106493) SYMPTOM: LLT port open fails with the error "device or resource busy". DESCRIPTION: During LLT port close, if some protocol packets get lost in the network, LLT retransmits those packets to take the port close state machine to completion. Due to a bug in LLT, sometimes some lost protocol packets are not retransmitted. Thus the close state machine gets stuck. As a result, the next port open operation fails with the error "device or resource busy". RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the LLT code to retransmit protocol packets that were lost in the network.
