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

Enhancements
HP SSSU 9.4 enhancements:
• Improved performance in interactive mode—In interactive mode, by default there was a 10 second
delay between SSSU commands. The default is now zero (no delay). This improves the speed at
which SSSU scripts are executed. If the delay is required, it can be set manually using the command
set options command_delay=delay_time.
Fixes
The following fixes have been implemented in HP SSSU 9.4:
• HP SSSU displays incorrect operational state for cache battery 2—HP SSSU now displays the
correct status for cache battery 2.
Limitations and workarounds
• If you use the CODELOAD DISK command to upgrade firmware on multiple disk drives, no error
is displayed for disks configured with Vraid0.
• The grep command must be entered in lowercase; uppercase does not work.
• Executing a command with grep and redirecting the output in a file does not work. However,
output can be captured by specifying the command with grep in a script file and executing it
using the FILE command with redirection.
Syntax error when capturing configuration of array in DR relationship
When using HP SSSU to capture the configuration of an array that is in a DR relationship, the resulting
configuration file contains a syntax error that renders the file unusable when restoring the configuration.
The capture configuration incorrectly captures two properties at a time for the SET DR_GROUP
command:
SET DR_GROUP "\Data Replication\DR Group 001" LINK_DOWN_AUTOSUSPEND=DISABLE
SET DR_GROUP "\Data Replication\DR Group 001" LINK_DOWN_AUTOSUSPEND=DISABLE
FULLCOPY_AUTOSUSPEND=ENABLE
Attempting a restore using a file with this syntax error will fail because HP SSSU attempts to set two
properties at a time.
After capturing the configuration, edit the SET DR_GROUP command in the configuration file as
follows:
SET DR_GROUP "\Data Replication\DR Group 001" LINK_DOWN_AUTOSUSPEND=DISABLE
SET DR_GROUP "\Data Replication\DR Group 001" FULLCOPY_AUTOSUSPEND=ENABLE
Editing the file before it is needed enables you to restore the configuration successfully, if necessary.
Running HP SSSU in OpenVMS
There are two options for running HP SSSU in OpenVMS:
• Change to the directory where HP SSSU is installed and run the application from there.
• To run HP SSSU from any directory, set an environment variable to the HP SSSU executable file
name and path. For example: Env_Var_Name :== [Path] file_name_of_executable
HP SSSU memory utilization issue on VMware ESX 3.5
In VMware ESX 3.5, if HP SSSU closes due to a memory utilization issue, increase the console memory
to more than 400 MB.
