HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.4.0-00 Release Notes (TB581-96329, December 2012)

Appearance of Host Data Collector
When using host discovery with Host Data Collector, the following information does not appear
correctly:
• IPv6 address in Windows 2008 German Edition.
• IPv6 address in Solaris and HP-UX environments if IPv4 address specified by a user for registering
host is an alias IP address.
• IPv6 address in a Linux environment if more than 2 IPv6 addresses are assigned to one interface.
• IPv6 address in a non-English edition of Windows 2008 (such as Japanese).
• On a UNIX host, if a file system is mounted to a directory that contains any of the following
characters, the file system usage percentage does not appear correctly:
~!@#$%+{}|"<>?`=[]\;',.
Registering hosts using Host Data Collector
• If the account used to register Windows hosts was a domain account, the Windows UPN format
(user-name@domain-name) cannot be used. Use the domain-name\user-name format.
• The length of the password for the account used to register hosts must not exceed 128 characters.
• If a Windows host belongs to a Windows domain, use Windows Service Management to register
the Windows host.
• When WMI protocol is used for registering hosts of the Windows target host, use the Administrator
account.
Host Data Collector cannot obtain host information in the following cases.
• The Device Manager agent is installed on the target host.
• The target host has multipath iSCSI volumes.
• In the HP-UX host, a logical volume name includes any of the following characters:
@#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?`-=[]\;',.
• The target host is Solaris, Linux, or HP-UX and more than 256 volumes are attached in the host.
• Host Data Collector cannot acquire host information for an AIX host that has a device renamed
by the rendev command, because that device information cannot be acquired.
Using Host Data Collector on a Solaris 9 host
Solaris 9 CPU usage might increase to 100% if Host Data Collector attempts to register a Windows
host. If this occurs, reboot the Solaris server.
Registering Solaris hosts through Host Data Collector
The metastat_pXXXX.rst files created by Host Data Collector in the /tmp directory on the Solaris
host are not deleted after registering hosts or if the refresh is complete.
Logical groups list
When multiple filter conditions are specified for the logical groups list, only the first condition is effective.
If multiple filter conditions are required, repeat filtering one at a time, cumulatively.
Capacity search condition
If you saved a search condition containing a capacity attribute as a private search condition, you
might not be able to change it to a public search condition. If this occurs, save it as a public search
condition first.
