HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server Release Notes 7.2.1

• The network diagram display is incomplete.
When a VM is not accessible by the Hypervisor (such as if the VM is on a datastore which
has been detached from the host), the Insight Control for vCenter network diagram is
incomplete.
Suggested action: Reattach the datastore to the host to get a complete network diagram.
◦
◦ On a configuration with large number of VMs and datastores, it can take a long time for
Insight Control for vCenter to draw the network diagram. You might see a dialog box prompt
indicating that it is taking too long to run the script on the page and be prompted to continue
to run the script or stop running it.
Suggested action: Click Yes to stop the script from running, which prevents the diagram from
completing, or click No to wait for the complete diagram to appear.
• The vSphere Web Client does not display information in the host details page unless an iLO
Advanced license is installed on the host’s iLO.
Suggested action: Install an iLO Advanced license for each host that is managed by Insight Control
for vCenter.
• Insight Control for vCenter fails to get host data from CIM providers in lockdown mode when
vCenter is configured with non-standard https ports.
Insight Control for vCenter attempts to get server authentication ticket from vCenter server listening
on https port 443.
Suggested action: Configure vCenter server to listen on standard https port 443 or http port 80.
• After installing a certificate, the Insight Control for vCenter displays Error communicating
with HP's services.
Suggested action: Restart all services for HP Insight Control for vCenter. After the services have
started, log out of the vSphere Web Client, and then log in again.
• Different parts of the user interface update failure status at different intervals. For example, when
a fan fails, the failure is displayed:
◦ In the News feed within 2 minutes
◦ In the consolidated status and the status detail in up to 11 minutes
◦ In the host or cluster detail information area in up to 21 minutes
Suggested action: Do not be concerned if a recent event does not appear in all areas of the GUI
immediately.
• The Export Data option is missing when Insight Control for vCenter is uninstalled.
The product is designed to display the export data option during software removal only if Insight
Control for vCenter was installed with Custom option. The configuration data is exported implicitly
if the product was installed using Typical option.
• During a firmware update, the Percent Complete status does not update.
The Smart Component does not give the provider an estimated install time. Therefore, the provider
displays 0% or nothing in the Percent Complete field until the installation completes.
• When deploying ESXi 5.0, the ESXi installation window displays a warning similar to the following:
warning:ftp://192.0.2.55/ds/hpfeatures/esxi50/500000
1.cfg:line 19: argument "– -gateway" to command "network"
is missing a value.
warning:ftp://192.0.2.55/ds/hpfeatures/esxi50/500000
1.cfg:line 19: bootproto was set to static but "- –gateway"
was not set. Setting gateway to 192.0.2.254.
