HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 MU1 Release Notes

To allow users to authenticate while also requiring a certificate with SSL, recreate the certificate
used by the LDAP or Active Directory server and sign it with SHA. A less secure option is to configure
LDAP authentication with SSL but not require a valid certificate by using the setauthparam
command to set the ldap-reqcert parameter to 0.
A more definitive method of confirming that the issue is with the certificate is by using the gnutls-cli
command (available for most Linux distributions) to display certificate information. For example,
if the LDAP server is called ldap-server.example.com and its certificate is in the file ca.cert, this
command checks the certificate:
% gnutls-cli -p 636 --x509cafile ca.cert ldap-server.example.com
If the certificate is signed with MD5 the output includes:
- The hostname in the certificate matches ‘ldap-server.example.com’.

- Peer’s certificate chain uses insecure algorithm
nl
- Peer’s certificate is NOT trusted

Remote Copy Link Speeds
When setting link speeds for Remote Copy operations using the controlport command speed
setting, only the 1000Mbps link speed option should be used. Using the 10Mbps and 100Mbps
link speed options may result in negotiation issues. Support for setting the interface speed to 10Mbps
and 100MBps will be removed in a future release.
Known Issues with the InForm OS
Thin Provisioned Virtual Volumes with no_tp_bzero policy enabled could result in
uninitialized data (Bug 62394)
