To resolve this issue: 1.
Storage volume creation and mounting was not successful. Reason: The storage volume you created has not been detected. (7007, blm_storage_volume_not_found) This error occurs when the host on which you attempted to create the storage volume cannot connect to the array through the fabric. Other management operations succeed because they use connections to HP P6000 Command View over Ethernet. To resolve this situation, verify the zone configuration of the switch. javaw.
SELinux prevents HP P6000 SmartStart from running on Red Hat Enterprise Server 5.3 With Red Hat Enterprise Server 5.3, you might need to disable SELinux temporarily while using HP P6000 SmartStart. If you attempt to run HP P6000 SmartStart, and the application is unresponsive (for 5 minutes after clicking Next, for example), SELinux may be preventing the execution of some modules because of unsigned system libraries. Another symptom is a crash reported by SELinux or the Red Hat Enterprise Server.

Data migration fails if the destination has insufficient capacity The capacity of the 3PAR destination is not verified during the data migration preparation phase. Therefore, it is possible for a successful preparation phase to be followed by a failed migration if the destination capacity is smaller than the source Vdisk. Migration preparation failed Multiple scenarios can cause a data migration failure during the preparation phase and display a Migration preparation failed error.
