It should be in full feature phase.

This is the time it takes for fw to login to boot target starting at Linkup in certain environments.  Special cases such as MPIO where one port has LinkDown before boot but eventually
became LinkUp while OS is running.  The total time since LinkUp to successful target login by fw is calculated based on:   port on switch became ready + DHCP address assignment + fw login.

Will do.
