HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 GA/MU1/MU2/MU3 Release Notes

System startup after 24 hour shutdown requires manual intervention
Prior to InForm OS 3.1.1, an HP 3PAR array could be shut down for extended periods of time and
when powered up again, the array would automatically complete its boot sequence and no manual
intervention would be required to return the array to normal functioning. As of InForm OS 3.1.1,
if the array is shut down for a period of more than 24 hours, when the array is powered up, it will
fail to complete its boot sequence automatically. If the showsysmgr command is run to check the
state of the array, the output will appear as Cannot reach TOC quorum. Use 'setsysmgr'
to set system manager startup state followed by a listing of valid and invalid system
Table of Contents (TOC). If the system is shut down for 24 hours or more, the most recent TOC
generation is listed as Invalid.
After confirming that the array was shut down for more than 24 hours, use the setsymgr tocgen
command to set the system Table of Contents (TOC) to the most recent generation; for example
setsymgr tocgen 17791. After issuing this command, the HP 3PAR array will complete its
boot sequence and resume normal functioning.

The following items are addressed in this release.

The maximum size of a single Dynamic Optimization (tune) request is limited
to approximately 160TB. Tunes larger than 160TB are rejected. This can
affect tunevv -cnt operations with a large number of virtual volumes.

Dynamic optimization can be used to tune thin provisioned volumes back
to their original CPG. This can improve volume layout without creating a
new CPG.

A VLUN that is exported to a port is no longer visible to hosts that are part
of a domain, as that would violate domain security. They continue to be
visible to hosts that are not part of a domain.

to domain hosts.

Because there are two copies per node instead of cluster wide, vvcopy
gives better throughput on large cluster.

If an iSCSI port on a storage system received a non-login-related iSCSI PDU
from an initiator before the login command sequence was completed, the
InForm OS kernel panics due
to accessing an uninitialized
pointer.

InForm OS kernel could panic due to accessing an uninitialized pointer.
This is addressed by processing the PDU correctly and sending a login
reject per the iSCSI protocol.
This condition is addressed in InForm OS 3.1.1. There are no pre-configured
community strings on newly installed system.

the LUN. This is corrected by the storage system clearing the SCSI-2
reservation on a LUN when the holder of the reservation logs out or is
disconnected from the array. The storage system also sets a Power_on_Reset
