Insight Dynamics 6.1 Release Notes

If these limits are exceeded in an infrastructure template, provisioning operations using that
template will fail.
Suggested action Limit the number of network connections to a logical server group to four
for virtual logical servers and 32 for physical logical servers.
Manually configure the SAN boot path for ProLiant DL/ML servers before provisioning
The job "Deploy ProLiant System Configuration (BL BFS),” contained in the Insight Control
Rapid Deployment software job folder deployed using Insight Orchestration, cannot be used to
configure ProLiant DL/ML target servers. The job configures ProLiant/Integrity BL target servers.
If you attempt to configure ProLiant DL/ML servers using this job, the request will fail.
Suggested action Manually configure the SAN boot path before you use Insight Orchestration
to provision a ProLiant DL/ML target server on SAN boot LUN, as follows.
1. Create a server deployment job folder that does not contain the "Deploy ProLiant System
Configuration (BL BFS)" job.
2. Change the Boot Controller Order (from ROM-Based Setup Utility) for the ProLiant DL/ML
server to select Fiber Channel port (HBA) as the first in the boot order.
3. Use the HBA vendor's utility to configure the HBA's boot path to boot from the desired SAN
boot LUN.
4. Power off the target server after the Boot Controller Order and the HBA's boot path have
been configured correctly.
Required HBA firmware and OS drivers to access multi-initiator NPIV data disks
The HP blade multi-initiator NPIV feature allows you to configure multiple WWNs for a single
HBA connected with a Virtual Connect Fiber Channel module. Although Insight Dynamics
automates the configuration, certain versions of HBA firmware and drivers are required to access
multi-initiator NPIV data disks configured for any target BL server.
Suggested action The HBA firmware and drivers shown for the following operating systems
are required to support multi-initiator NPIV data disks.
• QLogic HBA (BIOS version 2.07 or higher)
RHEL 5.3 and higher
SLES 11 and higher
SLES 10 SP3 and higher
Windows 2003/2008: QLogic driver 9.1.7.29 or higher
• Emulex HBA (BIOS version 3.11a3 or higher)
RHEL 5.4 or higher
SLES 10 SP3 or higher
SLES 11 in-box driver not yet available. Requires out-of-box Emulex driver version: 8.2.8.32
Windows 2003/2008: Emulex driver 5.00.17.06-2 or higher
Multi-initiator N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) features on Integrity blades running HP-UX or HP
OpenVMS not supported
At the time of the HP Insight Dynamics 6.1 release, multi-initiator NPIV features used by Insight
Dynamics and Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager are not supported on Integrity blades running
HP-UX or HP OpenVMS. If your enclosure contains both ProLiant servers and Integrity blades
running HP-UX or HP OpenVMS, do not use NPIV features when you define storage pool entries.
