Insight Dynamics 6.1 Release Notes

NOTE: When NPIV is supported in HP-UX and HP OpenVMS on Integrity blades later in 2010,
this limitation will be removed.
Suggested action Create a single storage pool entry that combines a boot volume and the data
volumes intended to be allocated to a single physical server. You can do this in one of the following
ways:
• Pre-provision any number of these composite storage pool entries to enable fully automated
allocation of SAN volumes to physical servers.
• Pre-provision storage pool entries with only boot volumes. An automated provisioning
request will pause after the operating system is deployed if the infrastructure service template
specifies data disks. You can modify the storage pool entry allocated to the server to add
data volumes, and then continue the request.
When NPIV is supported on Integrity blades running HP-UX and HP OpenVMS, you will be
able to define separate storage pool entries for the boot volume and for the data volumes intended
to be allocated to the same physical server. This will allow a flexible management model of
storage pool entries that contain only boot volumes, and other entries that contain only data
volumes. Insight Dynamics can combine these for use on a single server.
Install Microsoft Sysprep tool for customization of Windows 2003 guests on Hyper-V after installation
The Microsoft System Preparation (Sysprep) tool, which is required for customization of Windows
2003 guests on Microsoft Hyper-V, is not retained on the CMS after upgrading from previous
versions of Insight Software. Without these tools, customization of Windows 2003 guests on
Hyper-V results in failures.
Suggested action To enable customization of Windows 2003 guests on Hyper-V, install the
Microsoft Sysprep tool on the CMS in the folder C:\Program Files\HP\Insight Control
virtual machine management\Sysprep\2003 after the installation or upgrade of Insight
Software 6.0.
Console access to provisioned virtual servers from operating systems and browsers
Launching a console to a provisioned virtual server (VM) hosted on VMware ESX 3.5, ESX 4,
ESXi 3.5, and ESXi 4 VM hosts is supported using Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox
browsers running on Windows XP and Windows 2003 operating systems.
Browsing to user interface requires default Systems Insight Manager port
HP Systems Insight Manager is installed with a default port of 50000 in the JBoss container.
Browsing to the Insight Orchestration user interfaces, for example, Designer, depends on this
port value.
Suggested action Do not modify the Systems Insight Manager default port of 50000 in the JBoss
container.
Erase Hardware job name and service name of a provisioning task must not contain non-English
characters
The following issues may occur if your browser language is set to Japanese.
• If you are using HP Insight Control server deployment on Japanese operating systems and
you specify a Japanese job name for the Erase ProLiant Hardware job, the service is not
removed after physical provisioning.
• If you specify Japanese characters for the service name of a provisioning task, the logical
server is not provisioned.
• If you create a new virtual provisioning template and configure mail settings, the “Approve
or Reject” e-mail contains a garbled service name.
