Known issues and resolutions
This section de
scribes known issues and workarounds for this release. Also see the release notes for the
licensed replication products HP Business Copy EVA 3.0 and H P Continuous Access EVA 2.1. Issues that
affect all implementations of local and remote replication are documented there.
Installation
and configura tion issues
EVA4000/6000/8000 direct-connect is not supported
The replication manag er is not supported in direct-connect configurations, except with Windows hosts
and with restrictions. Specifically, you cannot mount snapshots or snapclones o n a Windows host that
is directly attached to an EVA4000, EVA6000, EVA8000 array.
Replication manager - EVA communication failure. No storage in the replication manager
interface
ProLiant servers include the SmartStart utility to assist with o perating system and software installation
and array configuration. Using SmartStart 7.2 m ay cause login failures for applications using the HP
Command View EVA API. Specifically, a login failure will occur if you build the management server using
SmartStart 7.2 and then install the HP Command View EVA software suite.
NOTE:
Using SmartStart 7.2 to upgrade a management server on which HP Command View EVA was previously
installed will not cause the login failure to occur. SmartStart 7.2 is a problem only with new HP Command
View EVA installations.
Resolution: reset the HP Comma nd View API password. After installing HP Command View EVA on a
ProLiant server that uses SmartStart 7.2, run the following executable (where “administrator” is the new
password that you want to use):
c
:\Program Files\Hewlet t-Packard\SANworks\Element Manager for StorageWorks
HSV\Bin\elmsetup.exe -pA: administrator -f
Go to the services window a nd restart the HP Command View EVA ser vice. The new password takes
effect only after you restart this service.
Consider the followi ng when using this procedure:
• Only a user with system administrator autho
rity can reset the HP Command View API password.
• If security of the executable used to reset the password is a concern, HP recommends that you
remove this executable from the server. For example, you could put the utility on a CD and
storetheCDinasecurelocation.
• You can use this executable to reset the password if it is forgotten.
Removing the replication manager server leaves a null file
After removing the replication manager, you start up the management server and Windows warns
you that there is a null file.
Resolution: the following steps can be used to delete the null file.
1. Select Star t > Programs > Startup .
