11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

Centralized Management Console (CMC)
• An error message about missing files was displayed when downloading files from FTP using a
proxy server.
• The CMC did not accept a DNS domain name if any domain label started with a number. For
example, if a user entered abc.8net.com, the CMC displayed the error message, Invalid
DNS Domain Name abc.8net.com.
• When using an HTTP proxy server, applying an upgrade could fail due to the increased size of
the upgrade file.
• The server to which volumes were assigned did not display in the performance dashboard.
• If an online upgrade failed, the CMC issued a reboot for the storage system to stop the upgrade
server process.
• If the frame size entered is more than 1500, a hyperlink to a warning message is now displayed.
LeftHand OS
• Unassigning multiple FC volumes (10 or more) simultaneously could cause the storage system to
become unresponsive.
• For the 4330, fixed an issue with setting the controller cache ratio properly after the capacitor is
fully charged and the controller cache is enabled.
• User login hung after configuring a management group for Active Directory access.
• During load balancing, an iSCSI initiator could lose connectivity to a volume or snapshot for up
to 30 minutes. This was caused by the storage system with the VIP address rebooted or lost network
connectivity.
• During an upgrade to Version 10.5, the iSCSI connections would close on the initiator, resulting
in loss of access to volumes and required a manual restart of the storage systems.
• When creating a managed snapshot using a third party backup application, the snapshot did
not inherit the same server assignments as the parent volume, which caused backups to fail.
• If auto rebalance of iSCSI sessions has been disabled and the storage system with the iSCSI VIP
fails, an unexpected iSCSI session auto rebalance could occur.
• Reduced the size of the support bundle by removing the AHS logs that were captured on every
storage server in the group. If AHS logs are required, HP Support can generate them using the
storage server iLO interface.
• HP P4300 G2, HP P4500 G2, HP P4800 G2, and HP P4900 G2 storage systems would reboot
twice instead of once when a NC552SFP 10 GbE NIC was installed.
• Fixed an issue with Failover Managers that boot from SAN volumes and experience poor I/O
performance, resulting in manager timeouts or hung I/O. The fix removes the FOM from quorum
decisions on the cluster.
StoreVirtual VSA Installer
• Fixed an issue that caused the HP StoreVirtual VSA for VMware vSphere to fail if the configuration
contained NFS datastores.
