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.
Multiple array-based management systems per HP SMI-S EVA Provider
HP recommends a maximum of 12 HP P6000 Command View array-based management systems
configured for the HP SMI-S EVA Provider.
Workarounds and limitations
Data Protector backup fails with error Failed to create target volume
When performing a Data Protector backup of a snapshot created from the HP P6000 Command View
GUI, the backup may fail with the error Failed to create target volume. To avoid this
situation, after creating a snapshot using the HP P6000 Command View GUI, wait for the next
incremental SAL refresh (or force a refresh) before running a Data Protector job on the snapshot.
