Linux issues
Remount job fai
led but cannot find the host volume
The replication manager correctly creates and mounts a volume group on Linux. You cannot unmount
the first c opy and then remount it on another host. The job template Replicate host volume(s),
mount to a host, then to a different host is not supported by Linux. The context of the
volume g roup is lost after the first mount.
CreateHostVolumeGroup executes for extended period of time
The QLogic HB
A driver on Linux by default scans or supports 32 LUNs from an array to the host. If there
aremoreLUNs
, CreateHost* commands execute for an extended period of time, and the replication
managerhostagentdoesnotreportthattheLUNisnotfound.
(*) This refers to the various CreateHost commands.
Resolution: modifying the default value of LUNEND variable in the file /opt/hp/hp_fibreutils/
probe-luns corrects this. Then rerun the job.
If the QLogic HBA driver is in an frozen state and LUNs are not visible to the Linux host, the same failure
occurs. In this case you must reload the QLogic driver or reboot the Linux host.
DiscoverDiskDevicesForDrGroup takes over an hour for Linux Redhat
Using the Planned failover template with EVA3000 and EVA5000 for the failover on Linux RedHat 3.0
takesoveranhourforeachdiscovery.
Resolutio
n: When long delays occur, you can bring task durations back to normal by rebooting the host.
Unknown exception in transport layer. Linux Suse host hangs during planned fail
The utility hp_rescan that is called by the replication manager host agent goes into a suspended state.
The host agent suspends also, waiting for the hp_rescan to complete.
A reboot is required to fix this. If a host becom es unresponsive or a job suspends in the
CreateHostVolume step of a job, examine the process list on the host. If the hp_r
escan utility
appears to be in a suspended state, restart the host .
Windows issues
Import fails because Windows does not by default add .xml extension
When importing from the replication m anager database using Windows to copy t
he file name, note that
the .xml extension does not appear at the end of the file name.
You must add the .xml extension to the end of the file name manually or go into Windows and change
the folder options to see the entire file name including extensions.
