• In this version or later, Device Manager no longer supports VMware ESX 3.x. • Device Manager GUI is improved so that Filter Condition, LUN Number Condition is specified with a decimal number to meet the format of LUN Number in volume lists. Enhancements for 7.3.0-00 • ◦ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 ◦ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 ◦ SUSE Enterprise Linux 11 SP2 ◦ Solaris 11 • Device Manager server and agent now support the virtualization server products VMware ESX/ESXi 4.1 Update 4 and ESXi 5.
• • The Device Manager GUI and CLI now support specification of the following definitions to external pool volumes in a Smart pool, depending on performance: ◦ External LDEV Tier Rank (High) ◦ External LDEV Tier Rank (Middle) ◦ External LDEV Tier Rank (Low) The Device Manager CLI now supports the creation or expansion of Smart pools in which the following multiple media types are mixed in Tier 3: ◦ SSD ◦ SAS 15K ◦ SAS 10K ◦ SAS 7.
• In the Allocate Volumes dialog box, the Allocate Like Volumes dialog box, or the Add Storage dialog box, some pools might not appear on the Select THP Pool dialog box. • Target storage systems might not appear in the Storage Capacity list in Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning. • In Device Manager agent for Windows, if the installation path contained a space, Device Manager agent would not run properly.
• A host group name whose length is 33 or more characters could not be set for the Allocate Volumes dialog box, Virtualize Volumes dialog box, Edit LUN Paths dialog box, and Allocate Like Volumes dialog box in an XP P9500. • If some logical groups were selected and then the Edit Tier Relocation dialog box was launched, an unexpected error (KAIC16993-E) might occur.
• – XP12000/XP10000 – XP1024/XP128 ◦ The property DeviceID of HITACHI_StorageVolume was retrieved.
Capacity specification for creating a volume in XP P9500 or XP24000/XP20000 When you create a volume in an XP P9500 or XP24000/XP20000 and you specify a volume capacity of 2,949,120 MB (approximately 2.8TB) or more, creation does not succeed.
This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met: • Capacity meets the following formula: 2,949,120 MB (approximately 2.8TB) < (Volume capacity) <= 3,145,663.75 MB (approximately 2.99TB) • Basic Volume is selected as the volume type. • When using the Allocate Volumes dialog box or Allocate Like Volumes dialog box, there is no volume that meets the specified condition in the dialog box.
In the GUI or the CLI, this issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met: • • Virtualize Volumes dialog box ◦ Capacity of selected volume from which the dialog box is launched is greater than 4,194,304 MB (4.0 TB), or a capacity that is greater than 4,194,304 MB (4.0 TB) is specified in the dialog box that is launched with selecting no volumes. ◦ An XP P9500 is selected for internal storage system. CLI AddExternalArrayGroup command ◦ XP P9500 is specified for the model parameter.
Values displayed in Removable column of pool volume list If Yes appears in the Removable column of the pool volume list, removing pool volume in shrink pool process may not succeed under any of the following conditions. • The pool usage rate has exceeded the Depletion Threshold, or the pool status is blocked. • The pool volume status is blocked. • If the pool volume is removed, the pool usage rate exceeds Depletion Threshold, or the pool subscription rate exceeds Subscription Limit.
• Changing the CHA/DKA status • Changing the cache status • Replacement of an OEM drive microcode • LDEV shredding If this occurs, format the blocked pool volumes by using the CLI FormatLU command, or Element Manager. Displaying volume capacity in the Create Volumes dialog box The specified volume capacity may not be displayed correctly in the plan screen of the Create Volumes dialog box. If this occurs, see the task list to confirm the correct capacity.
View of the maximum hierarchies of a logical group folder When a logical group folder has 14 or more hierarchies and the tree of the folder has been expanded with 14 or more hierarchies, the KAIC16009-E error may occur after clicking the folder. If this occurs, collapse the tree of the parent folder and re-expand the tree to the folder.
Method change for variation detection in an XP P9500 If the server.dispatcher.daemon.configUpdate.detection.variable.enabled property in the dispatcher.properties file is set to false (default value for 7.3.
To map the above volumes, use either of the following: • The CLI AddExternalArrayGroup command • Element Manager, XP P9000 Remote Web Console, or XP Remote Web Console Clicking a link in the GUI When clicking a link in the GUI, do not click the link while pressing the Ctrl key. KAIC16009-E error dialog boxes may appear if you click a link while pressing the Ctrl key. If this occurs, close all of the error dialog boxes.
If this occurs, take any of the following actions to reduce the number of hosts that recognize the command devices to fewer than 100, and add or refresh the storage system again. • Remove the hosts that recognize the command devices from Device Manager. • Uninstall Device Manager agent on each host that recognizes the command devices. • Unallocate the command devices from the hosts that recognize them. For 100 or more hosts, use a RAID Manager server instead of command devices.
Creating THP volumes In the Create Volumes dialog box, the subscription limit of the pool is not checked when the create volumes task is registered if the following conditions are met: • The Create Volumes dialog box is launched after a pool is selected. • Either of the following pools exist in the storage system. ◦ The subscription limit is set larger than the subscription limit of the selected pool. ◦ The subscription limit is not configured.
Volume search: Search results might not be correct if is not is specified as a conditional equation in volume search by label. Only volumes assigned labels can be searched. If this occurs, sort the volumes by the Label column after filtering candidate volumes by attributes other than Label. Editing pool name In the Create Pool dialog box or the Editing Pool dialog box, a backquote (`) cannot be used in the Pool Name text field.
XP12000/XP10000 creating multiple volumes at the same time for a CU that has no volumes allocated to it In an XP12000/XP10000 disk array, if multiple volumes are created at the same time for a CU that has no volumes allocated to it, the KAIC06400-E error occurs and the volumes are not created. First, create one volume for the CU, and after that, create the other volumes.
Controlling access to resources Do not allow multiple users to operate concurrently when setting up the following resource access control: • Resource groups • User groups • Roles • Users Setting up resource groups While creating or editing resource groups, do not make configuration changes on resources that are to be added to or deleted from the resource groups.
If this occurs, and then the Search button is clicked, the displayed search results might differ from the saved search conditions. This issue occurs when either of the following conditions is met: • A resource for which the user does not have the view permission is specified for the saved search criteria. • Resources have been deleted from the saved search criteria. Do not save search conditions containing a resource that a user cannot view.
4. Import the database. 1. Execute the hcmdsdbtrans command to import the databases: \Component\bin\hcmdsdbtrans /import /workpath /file /type ALL /auto 2. Specify true for the server.base.initialsynchro property on the Device Manager server. Other than user information, the hcmdsdbtrans command does not migrate the Common Component repository.
Upgrading Command View Advanced Edition to 7.1.0 or importing Command View Advanced Edition 7.0.0 database When either of the following conditions is met, the KAIC16029-E message might appear. • Command View Advanced Edition 7.0.0 is upgraded to Command View Advanced Edition 7.1.0. • Command View Advanced Edition 7.1.0 is installed, and then the Command View Advanced Edition 7.0.0 database is imported. If this occurs, restart the Device Manager service.
Filter values in the filter dialog box If a filter attribute is changed before its filter value in the filter dialog box is shown, the filter value might be inconsistent. If this occurs, redisplay the filters, or log in again. If the inconsistent filter value appears after refreshing the screen, set up a filter value again after applying a filter with a different attribute.

If Host Data Collector cannot be installed, uninstall and then reinstall it.
Host Data Collector cannot obtain host information in the following cases. • The Device Manager agent is installed on the target host. • The target host has multipath iSCSI volumes. • In the HP-UX host, a logical volume name includes any of the following characters: @#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?`-=[]\;',. • The target host is Solaris, Linux, or HP-UX and more than 256 volumes are attached in the host.
Creating and allocating volumes The following items cannot be filtered in the Select THP Pool dialog box: • Used Capacity • Subscription Allocate Volumes dialog box and Unallocate Volumes dialog box If a WWN of a host side is changed by another browser when the Allocate Volumes dialog box appears, an internal error might occur. If this occurs, restart the browser.Task dialog When the Allocate Volumes dialog box is launched with 30 or more hosts, it might not be updated. If this occurs, refresh the task dialog box. Host list When multiple hosts are registered by a virtualization server, the task status shows a dash (—) for the second and subsequent hosts. The task status appears under the host list on the Administration tab. Mozilla 1.7.13 (HP-UX 11i v3) If the Device Manager GUI uses Mozilla 1.7.
Displaying logical group nodes in the Mobility tab When the volume list in a logical group in the Mobility tab appears, the KAIC16902-E error might occur. If this occurs, the conditions of the logical group might be incorrect. If this occurs again, review the conditions of the logical group from the Edit Logical Group dialog box. Displaying the GUI list of alerts If there are more than 131,072 alerts, then the KAIC15857-W message occurs and the list of alerts is not displayed.
As a result, naming or changing pool name in Remote Web Console is not reflected in Device Manager. In addition, a THP pool identifier is "THP" (prefix) and the THP pool identifier number in Device Manager. Meanwhile, it is THP pool name (arbitrary) and the THP pool identifier number in Remote Web Console. Therefore, verify the numbers included in each of the THP pool identifiers to associate the THP pool on Device Manager with the one in Remote Web Console.
Virtualizing storage devices If you perform a volume virtualization task created under all of the following conditions in the Virtualize Volumes dialog box, the task generates a KAIC15001-E error: • The external paths are set to the volumes that are selected when you launch the Virtualize Volumes dialog box. • Both of the ports on the internal storage side and external storage side in the external paths described in the first condition are selected.
The number of resources that can be managed by Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning The number of resources that can be managed by Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning is based on the number of resources that can be managed by Device Manager. Use a configuration whose number of resources does not exceed the number that Device Manager can manage. Script error in Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning If Flash Player 10.1 or 10.2 is used, a script error might occur.
The Add Virtualization Server - Completed dialog box does not appear correctly if the name of a host in the virtualization server list does not use any of the following characters: A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, !, #, $, %, &, ', (, ), +, -, ., =, @, [, ], ^, _, {, }, or ~.

Editing tiering policy The KAIC15017-E error occurs incorrectly when the tiering policies for reserved THP volumes are edited. If this occurs, check the status of the THP volumes. Operating the Device Manager GUI Before completion of drawing a view, do not operate anything for it. If you do so, an unexpected error such as KAIC16009-E might occur. If this occurs, try the operation again. If this symptom continuously occurs, log in to the Device Manager again and retry the operation.
If Host Data Collector is upgraded without removing it first, remove Host Data Collector according to the previous procedure, and then install Host Data Collector again. Executing tasks If an operation (such as the user is locked, the user's permissions are changed, or the user is deleted) is performed to the user who registers a task, the task execution is not cancelled.
KAIC15001-E error message in the GUI If the GUI displays the KAIC15001-E error message, startup of Device Manager might not have completed successfully. The following might be the cause: • Ports required to start Device Manager are used by other processes. Verify the ports described in the Port settings of the HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide are not being used by other processes.
Adjusting the computer's time If a computer's time is changed while the services of Common Component and Command View Advanced Edition Suite products are running, Device Manager might not operate correctly. If you need to change the time, do so before installing. If you want to automatically adjust the time by using a protocol such as NTP, use a function that can gradually adjust the computer time without immediately synchronizing the time when the computer time is ahead of the actual time.
