11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

• When creating an administrative group, the permission level given to the first management area
(Management Groups, RAID, Drive Hot Swap) applies to all other management areas, regardless
of what permissions are assigned to the other areas
A new user assigned to an administrative group with mixed permissions will have the same
permissions for all areas that the group has set for the first area. For example, if the group has
Read-Only permissions for Management Groups, RAID, Drive Hot Swap, and Full permissions for
Network (TCP/IP, SNMP, DNS, Time), a user assigned to that group will have Read-Only
permissions for Network as well as for Management Groups, RAID, Drive Hot Swap.
To avoid this issue, create groups with the same permissions in all areas, rather than mixed
permissions.
• When creating a management group, using the DNS name for an NTP server fails
To resolve this issue, do one of the following:
◦ Use the IP address of the NTP server when creating a management group.
◦ Navigate to the management group Time tab and click Refresh All.
• Exported System Summary file contents are delimited by ‘tohten’ (Japanese comma) character
To import the System Summary data into another application using the .csv format, replace ‘tohten’
with ‘,’ using a text editor.
HP StoreVirtual DSM for Microsoft MPIO
No issues
Notifications and alerts
• No alert is issued if DNS servers are unavailable
This issue will be addressed in a future release.
• SNMP clients and multi-byte characters
SNMP clients must be configured to use UTF-8 encoding to properly display multi-byte characters.
• The email alarm does not clear when a DNS server is fixed or comes back online
The following warning may display when the system attempts to send an email alert:
EID_GLOBAL_CONFIG_MISCONFIGURED: The 'Email' configuration status is
'Misconfigured'. If DNS and the email server are unavailable briefly, the email configuration
is deleted. When DNS and the email server become available again, this message displays
because the email configuration no longer exists. You must reconfigure the email configuration
to stop this warning message and begin receiving email alerts again.
Fibre Channel
• After rebooting a storage system, volumes do not immediately display as mounted in the CMC
When viewing the Servers category, Volume and Snapshots tab, the Active Connection status of
volumes reflected in the CMC may take approximately 10 seconds to update following the reboot
of a Fibre Channel storage system.
• Alert for Fibre Channel port down displays incorrect cluster membership
If a Fibre Channel storage system in a management group is rebooted or otherwise loses
connectivity to the Fibre Channel fabric, it will generate an alert for each port on the storage
system. If there are multiple clusters in the management group, the alerts will report the incorrect
cluster membership for the storage system.
