11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

iSCSI
• iSCSI sessions fail if server configuration is changed
Due to a code enhancement, if any of the following items for the iSCSI server configuration are
changed, all server connections will be disconnected:
◦ iSCSI initiator node name
◦ CHAP required or not required
◦ CHAP name, target secret, and initiator secret (if CHAP is required)
This change ensures that the connections be re-established as soon as changes are implemented.
Networking
• Storage goes down down and ping timeouts are observed on a StoreVirtual 4330 running LeftHand
OS version 11.0 using NC552SFP when reinserting a network cable to an H3C5820 or HP5820
Switch
StoreVirtual 4330 storage systems, configured with bonds on 10 GB network cards, intermittently
lose ping to these systems.
To resolve this issue, ensure that all ports connected to StoreVirtual 4330 storage systems are part
of a separate VLAN.
• When deleting the ALB bond on a storage system that has been upgraded from 9.5 to 11.5, both
NIC ports become disabled
The ports lose the assigned IP addresses and the CMC cannot find the storage system. To resolve
this issue, log in to the Configuration Interface using iLO or KVM solution (Keyboard, Video,
Mouse), or connect to the StoreVirutal VSA using Hyper-V Manager or vSphere Client and reassign
the IP addresses to the storage system interfaces.
• 10 GB NIC status in TCP status shows failed after changing the NIC Flow Control settings
Do not configure the flow control or speed settings on 10 GB network interface cards. If you
attempt to change the setting, the change does not take effect.
NOTE: The default flow control setting on rack mount storage systems is off. The default flow
control setting on blade storage systems is on.
To recover from this situation, call HP Support for assistance.
