11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

• 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.
• During an online upgrade from 8.5 to 10.x or later with storage systems on different subnets, I/O
stops for approximately 2 minutes
No data is lost but I/O to the volume may stop long enough for applications to time out. If a
timeout occurs, the application must be restarted manually. If there is a critical application involved
that cannot tolerate an interruption in service, then an upgrade requiring a double hop should
be scheduled during a time when the application can be taken offline.
• A CMC on a Windows 2008 Server is unable to automatically discover storage systems if the
firewall is on
Disable the Windows Firewall on the computer on which the CMC is installed.
• To ensure desired system settings are retained after upgrading from Version 8.5, use Copy
Configuration before upgrading
Storage system settings are not retained after upgrading from Version 8.5 to Version 11.x. In the
case of storage systems in a management group, one storage system in the group serves as the
source for the settings that are applied to all the storage systems being upgraded. Therefore, use
the Copy Configuration function in a Version 8.5 CMC to apply the desired settings to all the
systems that will be upgraded.
