HP P6000 Command View Suite 10.3 Release Notes (T5494-96584)

Windows Performance Monitor limitations
When using Windows Performance Monitor to view HP P6000 Performance Data Collector
performance data on a management server running Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition, Windows
Performance Monitor may hang when the number of counters exceeds 900 (for example, a virtual
disk object that exceeds 100 instances, with 9 counters per instance).
evaperf nall command fails to execute
The evaperf nall command fails to execute in continuous mode on a Windows 2008 server
in both local mode and remote mode. Use the evaperf all command instead.
hist command limitation
When used with the object type state_diskgroup, the hist command does not display data
for the EVA4400/6400/8400.
Active paths on VMware VI3/ESX 3.x.x
On VMware VI3/ESX 3.x.x, there can be only one active path to a LUN at any time, even though
there might be multiple physical paths to the LUN.
You can set up paths manually by using the VMware GUI. From the GUI, you can manage one
path to the controller from each virtual machine. By presenting the same LUN to two different virtual
machines, you can display the metrics for both controllers. For information about setting up paths
to each controller manually, see the VMware documentation.

HP SMI-S EVA initial cache building may take longer with array-based management
If you are using the HP SMI-S EVA Provider with array-based management, allow several minutes
after the IP address is added to the Discoverer tool or after the HP SMI-S EVA Provider host is
rebooted, to build the cache. Applications using HP SMI-S EVA do not have access to the array
details until cache building is complete. To determine the status of cache building, use the
getarrayrefreshstatus.bat file.
