11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

• Upgrade issue with reimaged HP StoreVirtual 4530 with 4 TB drives
If an HP StoreVirtual 4530 has 4 TB drives and requires reimaging, if the 10.5 System Recovery
DVD is used, the reimaging will be successful, but the 4530 cannot be upgraded to 11.0. To
prevent this issue, use the 11.0 System Recovery DVD if reimaging is required.
• Upgrade from 10.5 to 11.x fails to complete the post-qualification testing due to an Active Directory
password issue
If the user who is logged into the management group has an AD password that contains special
characters which are not allowed in 11.0 (“List of disallowed characters” (page 15)) the upgrade
process cannot log into the management group to complete the post-qualification process. You
can avoid this issue by changing the AD password so that special characters are not used.
If you encounter this situation, you can resolve it as follows:
1. Stop the upgrade on the CMC.
2. Change the AD password.
3. Log back into the storage system and retry the upgrade.
• CMC post-qualification fails to detect failed upgrade
In some circumstances, an online upgrade fails and the Upgrade Summary reports that the upgrade
was successful. However, the version reported in the Upgrade Summary is incorrect. To resolve
this issue, retry the upgrade.
• The CMC becomes unresponsive after stopping an online upgrade using F11
Under certain conditions, you may stop an active upgrade process by pressing F11. This action
is only available when a discreet upgrade operation is taking an unexpectedly long period of
time (approximately 5 minutes). Pressing F11 aborts the upgrade process, but it causes the CMC
to be unresponsive. To resolve this issue, close and relaunch the CMC.
• During the online upgrade from 10.5 to 11.x, if the storage system encounters an error such as
a disk failure, and is powered off after the second stage of the upgrade has started on the storage
system, the storage system becomes unavailable and the CMC becomes unresponsive
Stop the CMC using the Windows Task Manager. Contact HP Support for assistance with the
storage system issue.
• After upgrading from 10.5 to 11.x, the Performance Monitor does not show any data for the
management group that was created using a 10.5 CMC
This issue is fixed but requires that you complete the following one-time configuration steps after
completing the upgrade to 11.5. If you are upgrading from 11.0 to 11.5, this issue does not
occur.
1. Select Performance Monitor Tasks→Reset to Defaults.
2. Select Performance Monitor Tasks→Save Statistics Settings.
3. Verify the settings by observing the Performance Monitor.
• The HP Support Alerts window in the installer wizard uses incorrect characters and font set for
Japanese
This issue only occurs on the HP Support Alerts page. You can use the CMC without any other
font issues.
• No warning that 10.x or later upgrade does not complete when the management group contains
unsupported platforms
If a management group contains storage systems that do not support an upgrade to 10.x or later
and you attempt to upgrade the management group to 10.x or later, the upgrade will not complete.
Further, there will not be a warning or message that the upgrade cannot complete. To resolve this
issue, you must migrate the systems that cannot be upgraded to 10.x or later out of the management
group. Supported systems are the HP StoreVirtual P4x00 G2 and HP StoreVirtual 4x30.
