HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server Release Notes 7.3

• Insight Control for vCenter cannot communicate with a node if proxy authentication is required
to reach the node.
Suggested action: Disable the proxy setting to enable Insight Control for vCenter to communicate
with the node.
• The ASR status for servers running the HP CIM Providers is displayed with a white status icon.
The current HP CIM providers do not monitor ASR.
• Software iSCSI storage is not displayed in the Network Diagram.
The Network Diagram displays hardware configured in Virtual Connect only. iSCSI storage devices
that use software HBAs are not displayed.
• When multiple firmware update jobs are launched from the Smart Component Update tab of the
Firmware link, one or more jobs might not start for a long period of time.
Suggested action: Delete and relaunch the job.
• If the vSphere Client is left idle on the HP Insight Management tab, clicking another link might
display the error message This program cannot display the webpage. This issue is
seen intermittently.
Suggested action: Click the link again to display the page.
• HP MSA arrays only: Refresh takes too long.
Suggested action: For optimal refresh performance in the GUI, HP recommends using a
configuration with 40 or fewer LUNs. Configurations with more than 40 LUNs are supported, but
you will experience longer refresh times when viewing LUN information.
• For HP MSA 2040 Storage arrays running version GL101 firmware, users account will indicate
the incorrect state of SMI-S authentication setting within the MSA Storage Management Utility
software. This results in the HP Insight Control Storage Administrator Portal being unable to
authenticate access to the HP MSA 2040 Storage array when configuring storage pools.
Suggested action: Log in to the MSA Storage Management Utility software and modify the user
setting to enable SMI-S access.
• P9500 disk arrays are supported only with the default security option Command Device
Authentication Security Disabled.
• Snapshot and remote replication information is not reported for HP MSA arrays.
• When you use the storage provisioning features with HP EVAs, new datastores and virtual machines
cannot be created on thin-provisioned devices. You can clone an existing virtual machine that
resides on a thin-provisioned device, but the clone will be on a thick-provisioned device.
