HP Insight Management 7.2 Update 2 Installation and Upgrade Release Notes

Environment Logical Server Storage Pool interface and checking the storage pool entry (SPE)
configuration.
If the SAN fabrics for server initiator WWNs are incorrect, correcting the SAN fabrics for
host initiators and saving the SPE this may address the problem. If the SAN fabrics are present
and are correct, merely modifying and saving the SPE can be a sufficient workaround to
address the problem. If the SAN fabrics are not available for the entries, you will need to
remove the SPE, deactivate and remove the associated SPM storage service, and then re-create
the SPE. Note the server initiator WWNs from the SPE, and then delete the SPE. Create a
new “SAN Catalog Storage Entry” SPE, and replace the auto-generated server initiator WWNs
with the noted values. Request candidates from SPM and make and appropriate selection.
The new SPM storage service should be conformant.
• When SPM is installed, the sample XML files for unmanaged arrays and unmanaged SAN
operation are named as example.xml. When an upgrade from SPM 2.0 to SPM 2.2 is
performed, any file named example.xml that is present in the SPM state folder is removed
by the installer. It is important that you do not use the example.xml filename for your
production XML files, or you can risk losing that data when SPM is upgraded. If you have
used the example.xml file for naming for your production usage, you must back up this file
to a different location before performing the upgrade, and then restore the files to their proper
location in the state folder following the upgrade.
