HP StorageWorks P9000 Application Performance Extender Software 2.2 Release Notes

• The IP address of the hosts should not be changed after installation.
• If the management station is down for a certain duration, the controller works with the set SLO
values, but performance data for that duration is not available.
• After a PRM group configuration change, configuration data must be collected again for that host.
• If a management station has been restarted, host discovery will take a while depending on the
number of hosts connected to the management station. For example, a set up with 32 hosts con-
nected to a single management station will take two to eight minutes.
• If you add or configure ports on XP arrays, or add new MP Blades in P9500 disk arrays, ensure
that you restart the controller.
• Perceptible workload differentiation may not be achieved with P9000 Application Performance
Extender in certain low or medium load conditions.
• For highly oscillating or random workload conditions, HP recommends that you set bandwidth
targets.
• You can hide offline hosts, but you cannot remove hosts that are registered with the management
station.
• If the controller service is not stopped properly, XP and P9500 disk array performance may be
impacted.
• To view performance graphs for more than two workloads, ensure that you reset the sliders to
their original position.
• If you acquire a resource lock on a P9500 disk array, the Dynamic LDEV Ownership Management
(DLOM) feature will not be effective until the lock is released.
• The workload or MP blade performance data can grow only up to 1 GB each. Oldest Performance
data will be purged once that size is reached.
• During the removal of the last installed license for a P9500 disk array, you may occasionally en-
counter an error message even though the license is removed from the system.
• Command devices with LUN ID greater than 256 are not supported.
• Removal of the APEX Management Station will proceed even when the application is in use.
• Occasionally, event messages will not appear in the message pane even when the operation is
complete.
