11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

◦ If the drive is running older firmware, update the drive firmware.
◦ If iLO still shows the drive status Degraded, then replace the drive.
• In the HP StoreVirtual 4730, when two drives are unavailable and the hot spare is rebuilding, the
Device status is not reported properly on the RAID Setup tab in the CMC
The status remains at 0% estimating. However, you can see the updated RAID rebuilding
status, with the percentage completed and estimated time remaining, on the storage system
Hardware Information tab.
• Failed drive status in HP StoreVirtual 4730 shows as Hot spare down,Off or removed
When a drive is removed in an HP StoreVirtual 4730, that drive status is incorrectly reported as
Hot spare down,Off or removed. However, the hot spare drive status is either active or
rebuilding against the failed drive at that point in time. The removed drive is the only drive that
is off or removed.
• A P4900 G2 controller firmware mismatch event does not generate an SNMP trap
If the P410 controllers in a P4900 G2 storage system have different firmware versions, the firmware
version mismatch generates an event. However, that event does not generate an SNMP trap. This
situation could occur if a controller is replaced in a storage system and the replacement controller
is at a different firmware version.
• When splitting the P4800 G2 10 GbE NICS into a custom configuration for iSCSI and management,
the TCP speed/duplex reports Unknown
On P4800 G2 storage systems running the LeftHand OS versions listed in the table, if the Ethernet
ports are configured with a speed other than the supported speeds listed, the network controller
Speed/Method and Duplex/Method are reported as Unknown when viewed on the TCP Status
tab of the storage system Network category.
Supported NIC configurationsLeftHand OS version
100 Mb, 9.9 Gb, 10 Gb9.5.00 Patch Set 2 or greater
100 Mb, 1 Gb, 9 Gb, 9.9 Gb, 10 Gb10.0.00 or greater
• Undefined and Unknown values are showing for Usage Remaining and Wear Status of drives
under SmartSSD Wear Gauge in System Management Homepage for P4900 G2 SSDs
The System Management Homepage displays incorrect values for the SSD status. The correct
status is viewable on the ADU. The CMC also reports the correct status in the following locations:
◦ The Hardware Information report in the storage system Diagnostics category
◦ The Disk Setup tab in the storage system Storage category
An event email is also generated with the SSD status.
Installation and upgrades
• If the LeftHand OS interface is on the same VLAN as iSCSI, and iSCSI has the gateway, after
applying the upgrade, the CMC/StoreVirtual SAN will not be able to access the gateway.
To resolve this issue, change the LeftHand OS interface before beginning the upgrade.
• SELinux setting affects installing and running the CMC
Before installing the CMC on a Linux server, you must ensure that SELinux on the Linux server is
set to permissive mode. SELinux is enabled and set to enforcing mode by default on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 and higher.
