HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 2.1.11 release notes (392363-007, January 2007)

HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 2.1.11 release notes 11
IMPORTANT: If you are downgrading to a previous version of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator software, you
must downgrade to a version of the software that has previously run on your machine. For example, you
cannot upgrade from version 1.2.3 to version 2.0 or version 2.1 and downgrade to version 1.2.8. You must
downgrade to version 1.2.3. and then upgrade to version 1.2.8. If you do not follow this step, your
configuration will be discarded and unrecoverable.
TIP: When downgrading, either go back to a previously installed revision, or save the text results of a
show running-configuration command to another system before downgrading, and then apply the
text results to your system after the downgrade.
Miscellaneous issues
Remote software re-imaging
You can not use the Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Virtual CD capability to restore the system software using
the Quick Restore CD. Insert the Quick Restore CD into the CD/DVD-ROM drive on the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator to restore the system software.
SATA software RAID configuration
If the SATA Software RAID BIOS field is enabled, the Quick Restore fails with an unrelated error. Set the
SATA Software RAID BIOS field to Disabled for the Quick Restore CD to function properly.
SNMP configuration
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator has two graphical user interfaces, one for acceleration and general system
management (the Management Console), and the other for the HP System Management Homepage. Use
the Management Console or the command-line interface to modify SNMP settings, rather than the System
Management Homepage. To change the read-write community string, use the snmp-server
rwcommunity CLI command.
NOTE: The read-write community string must be different from the read-only community string for proper
functioning of the System Management Homepage.
