HP P6000 Command View 9.4 Release Notes (T5494-96472, October 2011)

Changing the management IP address of an iSCSI controller using the CLI
When the management IP address of the iSCSI controller is changed using the CLI, HP P6000 Command
View loses connection with iSCSI controller, resulting in Not Available status displayed in the iSCSI
controller GUI pages. To correct this, use the HP P6000 Command View GUI to delete the existing
iSCSI controller, and then add the new IP address using the Add iSCSI controller page.
Providing credentials for Microsoft Exchange email notification
When using the HP P6000 Command View server-based management/array-based management
email notification feature with a Microsoft Exchange server, it may be necessary to provide credentials
to receive the messages. This is determined by the configuration of the Microsoft Exchange server as
follows:
• If Microsoft Exchange is configured with only anonymous enabled, it is not necessary to provide
credentials to receive HP P6000 Command View email notification.
• If Microsoft Exchange is configured with only auth login enabled, you must provide credentials
to receive HP P6000 Command View email notification.
• If Microsoft Exchange is configured with anonymous and auth login enabled, you must provide
credentials to receive HP P6000 Command View email notification. This applies whether the
“require authentication” option is selected or not. If auth login is enabled in any way, credentials
are required.
Using an FCoE CNA-based server with MPX200 connectivity
When managing an EVA using an FCoE Converged Network Adapter-based server and through
MPX200 connectivity, unpresenting the last FCoE LUN from the MPX200 iSCSI controller may cause
HP P6000 Command View to lose communication with the array. To resolve this issue, use the lunmask
add wizard in the MPX200 CLI to present LUN 0 from each array target WWN to each MPX200
FCoE port and to each management server FCoE-CNA port. To gather the necessary information, use
the show fc, show targets, and show initiators MPX200 CLI commands. Then, use the
lunmask add wizard.
iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module configuration file indicates zero bytes
When saving the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module configuration (from the iSCSI Controller Configuration
page in HP P6000 Command View), HP P6000 Command View may indicate the file size is zero
bytes. If this occurs, you must restart the controller and then save the configuration again by performing
the following steps:
1. Select the applicable iSCSI controller in the navigation pane.
2. Select Shutdown on the iSCSI Controller Properties window.
3. Select Restart on the iSCSI Controller Shutdown Properties window.
4. After the controller has restarted, select the iSCSI controller in the navigation pane.
5. Select Set Options.
6. Select Save/Restore Configuration.
7. Select Save Configuration.
If you attempt to restore the configuration from a zero byte file, the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module
configuration will not be restored and it may cause the HP P6000 Command View content page to
hang.
iSCSI/FCoE controller inaccessible from HP P6000 Command View
If an iSCSI/FCoE controller is inaccessible from HP P6000 Command View, avoid performing any
management operations on that controller and any iSCSI/FCoE objects displayed in HP P6000
Command View.
