11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

Remote Copy

• While cross–version Remote Copy is occurring from 10.0 or later to 8.5 management groups, if

copying halts because the cluster is full, the CMC displays the "See Alarms Window" error message,

although the 8.5 management group does not have the Alarms window

The Version 9.x and greater Alarms and Events feature is not compatible with pre-9.x versions of

software. Review the Alarms window for Version 9.x or later management groups. If you are

operating in a mixed SAN environment with management groups earlier than Version 9.x, also

review the Alerts window.

Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) Integration

• SCVMM 2012 R2 is not supported

The StoreVirtual release versions 11.0 and 11.5 do not support SCVMM 2012 R2.

• Provisioning FC storage to clustered Hyper-V hosts running Windows Server 2012 fails

Provisioning Fibre Channel storage to a clustered Windows 2012 Server Hyper-V cluster fails

with the message, SM_RC_UNKNOWN_ERROR.

Fibre Channel is not supported with SCVMM for the 11.5 release.

• Cannot automatically provision volumes with CHAP authentication

CHAP cannot be automatically configured on volumes created with SCVMM. This is because of

the SMI-S standard, rather than an issue with either SCVMM or the StoreVirtual storage system.

To use CHAP, follow the instructions in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide to configure CHAP

manually.

• Deleting a stored virtual machine does not delete the storage

To resolve this issue, use the CMC to identify and delete any stranded SmartClones.

• After registering a provider and creating a LUN, the Available Capacity value for a storage pool

is not correct

The value displayed in the Available Capacity column for a Storage Pool (LeftHand OS Cluster)

is not correct in Fabric\Storage\Classifications and Pools in the SCVMM GUI. To resolve this

issue, manually refresh or manually rescan the provider in the Fabric\Storage\Providers node

(SCVMM UI).

• Running Register-SCStorageLogicalUnit on an array of LUNs causes the LUNs to be

assigned to multiple storage groups

A single LUN can belong to only one storage group. If the commandlet

Get-SCStorageLogicalUnit on a particular volume will return an invalid configuration.

To fix this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Unregister the volumes using the command Unregister_SCStorageLogicalUnit.

2. Run the SCStorageLogicalUnit commandlet again on each individual volume.

• Storage Migration does not delete the source storage; it is copied instead of moved

When migrating the storage of a virtual machine from one volume to another, the original storage

is not totally removed and will display in both locations.

• Update-StorageProviderCache fails with a Timeout

If running the commandlet Update-StorageProviderCache -Discoverylevel Full

and more then one storage provider is registered, it results in the following error message:

Update-StorageProviderCache : Timeout.
