HP P6000 EVA Release Notes (XCS 11001100) (5697-2516, March 2013)

• Fixed issue in which a catastrophic failure of all device ports causes repeated controller restarts
and loss of data access.
• Fixed issue that can result in a repeated controller termination if a controller termination occurs
while a mirrored cache flush is in progress on the Continuous Access destination array.
• Fixed an issue that results in a CSM reset condition when an intersite link fails during removal of
a virtual disk from a DR group.
• Fixed issue in which controllers encounter a recursive termination (TEC: 0x06710101) after back
end SAS port reset.
• Fixed issue caused by updating disk drive firmware on a storage system with an unsupported
version of HP P6000 Command View, which results in controller termination (TEC: 0x0b0f0122).
• Fixed issue in which a single disk group failure causes a termination of the controllers (TEC:
0x04d3011f).
• Fixed issue where the storage system crashes during Continuous Access logging (TEC:
0x0442011f).
• Fixed issue in which a management server configured with a single path to the array can result
in a dual controller termination if the path is lost (TEC: 0x0442011f).
• Fixed issue in which an aborted I/O causes controller termination (TEC: 423f010d).
• Fixed issue in which a force failover command to a Continuous Access member leads to a controller
termination.
• Fixed issue in which an incorrect configuration of the inter-site link which causes the storage system
to terminate (TEC: 0x0c460103) during a DR group creation.
• Fixed issue in which a Continuous Access group that is in a full copy state and has the defer
copy attribute set causes a deadlock state when the controllers are attempting to boot.
• Fixed an issue in which while attempting to regenerate a failed drive, the storage system terminates
(TEC: 0x07540100).
Continuous Access
Login
Fixed an issue which can occur due to a rejected fibre channel switch port login (PLOGI)
which results in a PLOGI storm during Continuous Access remote array discovery.
Data replication group
Fixed an issue that rendered all other members of a data replication group inoperative
when one or more members was already inoperative.
Unaffected virtual disk members usable after hardware failure
With the 11001000 controller software release, virtual disk members of a Continuous
Access DR group that are not directly impacted by a hardware failure will be usable
after the hardware failure is resolved. During the resolution process, the virtual disks
that were marked as failed because of their association with the failed virtual disk in
the DR group will be removed from the group. The virtual disks failed by association
will transition to normal after being removed from the DR group and becoming
accessible. For instance, if a DR group has a Vraid5 failed virtual disk (due to two
non-RSS mirror pair disk members failing), all Vraid1/6 virtual disks data will be
accessible upon completion of the hardware failure resolution process. In older XCS
versions, the Vraid1/6 virtual disks were deleted during the hardware failure resolution
process.
