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

DescriptionItemBug ID
TYPE field. InForm OS is updated to reflect the new SCSI
specification.
The System Manager was failing when snapshot space was
removed from a Virtual Volume via the "setvv -snp_cpg ''"
Preventing System Manager failure
when removing snapshot space via
setvv

command. This issue is resolved, and the command will now
either throw an error (if, for instance, there are still snapshots),
or work as expected.
A bug in Emulex LPe12004 FW prevents the port from responding
to ARB(FF) frames sent by the switch, and eventually the switch
issues a LR which causes the link to go down.

In earlier versions, when a node-failure-analysis file is generated
by NEMOE, the file is automatically downloaded to the master
Sendhome NFA files and NEMOE core
dumps

node and a service alert is generated. With this enhancement
now, we also notify the SP to send the NFA file home. This also
applies to NEMOE core dumps.
When an ATS request happens on a page with pending DCOW,
the ATS handling path does not resolve the pending DCOW
which causes data inconsistency.
Import of a snapshot in ESX fails with
invalid meta data when VAAI ATS is
enabled

In the process of rolling an upgrade, the system is split into legacy
clusters and expedited clusters. It is possible to receive a skip

packet (special packet telling remote queue to wrap) from the
expedited cluster to the legacy cluster which the legacy cluster
does not understand. This issue is resolved now.
In earlier versions of InForm OS, manual clearing of SCSI
reservations could result in different reservation data being held
Ensure consistency when clearing SCSI
reservations

on different controller nodes of the cluster. The handling of this
scenario is enhanced to ensure that the coherency of reservation
data is preserved during clearing of reservations.
This will prevent the System Manager termination when a CPG
has no space to grow when region mover is called via movereg

function. Adaptive Optimization is the primary user of the
movereg function.
The recovery mechanism is changed from resetting the controller
node to resetting the HBA port for a rarely seen HBA firmware
error.

firmware error from node reboot to port

If more than 16 host WWNs are registered for SCSI3 reservations
on a volume, online upgrades abort and offline upgrades fail to
start the system after upgrading.

If power fails during node-down recovery, it is possible that Power
Failure recovery needs to recover log pages being processed
Power Failure recovery may need to
recover processing log pages from
more than 16 virtual volume families

from more than 16 virtual volume families. This is resolved by
dynamically allocating slots for recovering log pages being
processed from various virtual volume families.
This STEC MACH8 FW relase consists of two FW version updates
beyond FW 2573: FW 2803 and FW 2806.
FW 2803 contains the following changes:
STEC MACH8 Firmware update70541
Extended dynamic block selection
Modified SMART attribute 0xB2
Enhanced Read Verify command
Enhanced NCQ error handling
Check ECC errors when writing to the flash during shutdown.
Resolved the incorrect status for FIFO overflow or underflow
Added write buffer initialization
