In this case, remove the host from the Device Manager server, and then restart the Device Manager server agent or deamon. The server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.logicalGroup.doRefresh property Even if true is specified for the server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.logicalGroup.doRefresh property in the dispatcher.properties file, information on logical groups is not updated automatically when any CLI commands are executed.
1. 2. 3. 4. Stop the Device Manager agent service and automatic execution of the HiScan command on the host. Check whether the target host is registered in any resource groups. Change the target host name. From the Device Manager GUI or CLI, change the host name to a completely different name. Example: Before: ABCD After: EFGH 5. 6. 7. 8. Start the Device Manager agent service and automatic execution of the HiScan command on the host.
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.

Using the CIM/WBEM service discovery function in a server machine with multiple IP addresses When a server machine with Device Manager installed has multiple IP addresses, choose an IP address that connects the CIM client to the server, and then add that IP address in the following property file: Property name: com.wbemsolutions.jserver.bindto Properties file name: jserver.
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. Displaying the Unallocate Volume dialog box The volume capacity shown in the plan screen of the Unallocate Volume dialog box may be incorrect. If this occurs, see the task list to confirm the correct capacity.
Spending time to operate a logical group When deleted volumes or the volumes in storage systems that are not managed by Device Manager exist in a logical group, it takes a long time to operate the logical group. If this occurs, delete the logical group and create it again. Operations for logical groups in the GUI When many logical groups are displayed in the navigation area, if operations for a logical group are performed, the following message may appear. KAIC15901-E The session is not valid.
• Monitoring mode of Smart pools • Setting for performance monitoring or relocation of Smart pools To enable the detection, change the property value to true. NOTE: If the property is changed, restart services or daemons of XP Command View Advanced Edition Suite products. CLI copy pair operation error 6119 A CLI copy pair operation may generate the error code 6119. If this occurs, check the following items. • Check the version of RAID Manager or RAID Manager XP that supports the required operation.
Managing path groups with External Storage in XP24000/XP20000 and XP P9500 If you change path group settings using XP P9000 Remote Web Console or XP Remote Web Console, Device Manager cannot correctly manage the priority of the paths connecting storage systems in their path group. As a result the following symptoms occur in volume virtualization using the path group whose settings were changed using Remote Web Console.
Volumes allocated to ports with LUN security disabled The following notes apply to volumes allocated to ports with LUN security disabled. • In the Hosts view, volumes allocated to a host do not appear. Confirm the volume information in the Open-Allocated view. • Volumes allocated to multiple ports with LUN security disabled cannot be unallocated from specific ports.
If a task creating multiple volumes does not succeed, refresh the storage system that is supposed to include the created volumes. Then check whether the volumes are created in the Open-Unallocated volumes list of the storage system. Recreate the volumes that were not created. Available External Volumes tab in the External Storage window When creating a path on a storage port that has LUN security disabled, available external volumes are not displayed in the Available External Volumes tab.
Modifying the resource group and role settings for an external authentication group The resource group and role settings cannot be modified with the Edit User Group dialog box for an external authentication group whose name includes the following character strings. \/:,;*?"<>| When modifying them, use the Add Resource Groups dialog box, the Edit Roles dialog box, or the Remove Resource Groups dialog box in the resource group details window.
Removing Host Data Collector After removing Host Data Collector from a Solaris or Linux host, the following files or directories might remain. /Winexe /HostDataCollector/conf/HDCPid.dat Delete them manually after the removal. Host Data Collector can be reinstalled if these files or directories remain.
• Limits for each user ◦ • Number of user groups: 3 Limits for each resource group ◦ Number of LDEV IDs: 16,000 ◦ Number of host group numbers: 16,000 ◦ Parity groups: No limit ◦ Storage ports: No limit 2 If a user has 8 or more Device Manager client windows open at one time, the user might be forcibly logged out. Wait a few minutes, and then log in again.
3. Install Command View Advanced Edition. Specify a file system that can handle files larger than 2 GB for the installation destination of the Command View Advanced Edition database. For details about the installation procedure, see the HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Installation and Configuration Guide. 4. Import the database. 1.
To add or remove resources, specify no more than 16,000 resources for each resource type. • When multiple resource groups are simultaneously deleted, communication with the Device Manager server might not succeed. Make sure that no more than 16,000 resources for each resource type are assigned to each resource group to be deleted. The number of resources assigned to a resource group can be confirmed in the resource group details window.
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.
Using Host Data Collector on a Solaris 9 host Solaris 9 CPU usage might increase to 100% if Host Data Collector attempts to register a Windows host. If this occurs, reboot the Solaris server. Logical groups list When multiple filter conditions are specified for the logical groups list, only the first condition is effective. If multiple filter conditions are required, repeat filtering one at a time, cumulatively.
The WWN might be changed by another browser when nothing appears in the Plan Summary of the Unallocate Volumes dialog box. If this occurs, restart the dialog. Created volumes capacity When you allocate or create volumes and you do not use whole numbers to specify the capacity, the volumes might not be created with the specified capacity. If this occurs, delete the created volumes, and then allocate or create volumes again by specifying the block.
Mozilla 1.7.13 (HP-UX 11i v3) If the Device Manager GUI uses Mozilla 1.7.13 on HP-UX 11i v3 for PA-RISC, the IPv6 protocol cannot be used to communicate with the Device Manager server.
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. Dispose of the alerts at regular intervals and remove alerts from the list. If 131,072 alerts are exceeded, execute the CLI DeleteAlerts command to delete some of the alerts.
CLI copy pair operations While a HiScan command is running, CLI copy pair operation might not succeed. If this occurs, refresh the target storage system of the CLI copy pair operation, check PAIR status of the copy pair, and do the CLI copy pair operation again. Changing status of copy pair by CLI Do not specify the copytracksize parameter when the CLI ModifyReplication command is executed and the status of XP Snapshot is changed.
Not using the GUI: • CLI AddExternalArrayGroup command. • Element Manager, Remote Web Console, or XP Remote Web Console. Storage device virtualization tasks If a storage device virtualization task failed by interception, the volume of an external storage system may remain being allocated to an internal storage system. If this occurs, virtualize a storage device with either of the following methods: Using the GUI: Perform either of the following operations, and then retry the volume virtualization task.
Wait several minutes because Device Manager information is synchronizing with VMware vCenter Server information. KAIC07661-E error in Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning When the Add Storage operation is performed, if the KAIC07661-E error occurs and the VMware vSphere API name embedded in the message is QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions, the condition of volumes might be invalid.
