HP OneView 1.05 Release Notes

4 Known limitations
The following are known limitations for using HP OneView.
• After restoring an appliance that uses the external SCMB (State-Change Message Bus) or HP
OneView integration with VMware vCenter features, if the restore operation is performed to
a different appliance (with a matching IP address) you must reboot the appliance after it is
restored. Performing the reboot ensures that the restored appliance is fully operational.
You do not need to reboot the appliance if you are restoring to the same appliance or if you
are not restoring an appliance that uses the external SCMB or HP OneView integration with
VMware vCenter features. Performing the reboot after the restore operation increases the time
to complete the restoration.
IMPORTANT: If you are using a backup file created on another appliance to restore a new
or replacement appliance, you must configure the new appliance with the same network
settings as the appliance on which the backup file was created. For more information, see the
HP OneView online help topic “Restore an appliance from a backup file”.
• During first time setup, HP OneView occasionally displays the message “Appliance does not
support the provided locale”. Refresh the browser window (for example, press F5 or Ctrl-R in
most browsers) and click OK again.
• REST API filter and query request attributes are experimental. The server profile REST API
can be filtered by profile name.
For best results, use the search index under index/resources to locate specific resources.
• HP ProLiant BL465c G7 and BL685c G7 server blades with NC551i LOM, NC551m, or
NC550m adapters do not support the requested bandwidth feature for server profile
connections. Connections for these systems will rate-limit at the maximum bandwidth specified
in the associated network or network set.
• After a firmware update, the server ROM (BIOS) version for a server is not reported until the
next time the server is powered on and allowed to complete POST (power on self-test).
• A discrepancy can exist between what HP OneView displays as the Allocated Bandwidth on
the server profile and the Bandwidth (min/max) values that are displayed on the Downlink
Ports section of the Interconnects screen. The Bandwidth (min/max) values indicate the
configured settings on the network or network set instead of reflecting the Allocated Bandwidth
that was assigned in the server profile.
• After multiple power cycles of an interconnect, the Uplink ports State on the Interconnects and
Logical Interconnects screens can wrongly show linked even when the interconnect is powered
off. This is an intermittent problem.
• After removing and reinserting an interconnect in an enclosure, HP OneView can take up to
five minutes to show the Interconnect power status as on.
• When you add an uplink set for a logical interconnect group and specify no networks or
uplink ports, HP OneView displays a warning. If you click Cancel in response to the warning,
HP OneView still displays the warning in the notifications area and you can ignore it.
• The HP OneView 1.05 REST API scripting help procedure “Create an automatically generated
ID range for virtual MAC addresses, WWNs, or serial numbers” contains the following links
to the HP OneView REST API Reference: GET /rest/id-pools/vmac/generate, GET
/rest/id-pools/vwwn/generate, and GET /rest/id-pools/vsn/generate. These
links should point to the generic API GET /rest/id-pools/{id}/generate in the HP
OneView 1.05 REST API Reference (API Version 4). You can find this API in the id-pools
resource under Servers
