displayed VV state remained at ""tuning"" indicating that the tune

must be completed (re-run) or rolled back in order to return the VV
state to normal. This behavior changes in 3.1.2 as the VV state returns
to ""normal immediately on task cancellation.
Avoid potential sysmgr failures by disabling reclaim for a volume if
the total number of vlmaps exceed a certain threshold.

another array could get stuck while doing the final VV block to finish
the import. This was a volume block locking issue and has been
resolved to prevent this negative interaction.
A type of meta data inconsistency when discovered caused the node
to panic rather than alert the user via the raising of the Internal
Consistency Event.

In previous versions of HP 3PAR OS, 3PAR WWNs which were
previously visible on an RCFC port could incorrectly trigger an alert

WWN" alerts

of the form "More than one WWN seen on an RCFC port". The 3.1.2
release of HP 3PAR OS includes modifications to ensure that this alert
is raised only as a result of WWNs which are currently visible on the
RCFC port.
In previous releases of the HP 3PAR OS, tunesys required a Dynamic
Optimization (DO) license to run. This requirement has been removed
& systems without a DO license can now be re-balanced.

Having more vluns than are supported can result in out of memory
issues. The checkhealth command will now flag a warning when
the number of luns is beyond the supported limit.

deletion or manual clearing of reservations could introduce
inconsistency into the system's Table of Contents. This software defect
has been addressed to handle deletion of registered initiators correctly.
The default R1 and R6 NL CPGS created by the system will now use
FC drives (if they are available) for SA space.

An issue has been reported where the LD tuning phase of tunesys
can, in some circumstances, cause an out of space situation.
3.1.1 MU1 : tunesys fails to
distribute chunklets evenly

(also

related CPG after an LD has been tuned.
An issue has been reported where the system management application
could restart if thin persistence space reclaim started at the same time
