11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

The storage system settings that may be retained after upgrading to Version 11.x include settings
for the following features:
◦ Alerts, including Alert emails
◦ SNMP general settings and traps
◦ Remote log files
• Upgrading the CMC using Online Upgrades on a 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x server requires
additional package installation
To upgrade the CMC using Online Upgrades on a 64-bit RHEL 6.x server, install the following
two packages from 32-bit RHEL 6.x:
◦ glibc
◦ libstdc++
After installing these packages, try installing the CMC again.
• Upgrading the CMC from Version 9.5 and earlier to Version 10.5 or later not supported on 64–bit
OpenJDK on RHEL
When upgrading the CMC from Version 9.5 or earlier to 10.5 or later, the following error message
is displayed: Not Supported – OpenjDK 64-Bit Server VM on amd64 Linux not
supported. If you are already running a CMC on RHEL with 64–bit OpenJDK, you may see
other issues with the CMC.
To resolve this issue, install Oracle Java Version 1.6 or greater.
• On Windows 2008 Server, if proxy is configured, the VSA installer cannot connect to the ESX
Server
If proxy settings are configured on the Windows 2008 Server on which you are attempting to
run the VSA installer, the installer is unable to connect to the ESX Server. Before running the VSA
installer, you must disable any proxy settings on the Windows 2008 Server.
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.
