HP ProLiant Storage Server Release Notes (January 2006)

40
Issue: Japanese Support
Description Some storage servers support Japanese for the WebUI, but a conversion process
must be completed before running Rapid Startup.
Solution To convert the storage server into Japanese:
1. Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
2. Login to the local console using the administrator account. The default
password is hpinvent.
3. Select Run from the Start menu.
4. Enter the following:
c:\hpnas\Conv.vbs
NOTE: If you are running an earlier version of the ProLiant ML350 G4p Storage
Server, and the above command did not work, then enter:
c:\hpnas\Components\Localization\Convjp.vbs
5. Select Yes to convert the system to Japanese and restart the server.
Issue: Blue screen (BSOD) triggered by accessing Storage Manager 2.0 components
Description An issue has been discovered where the storage server can crash and reboot
when Storage Manager 2.0 components are accessed. Components include
directory quotas, storage reports, and file screening. This issue only exists when
both OpenView Storage Mirroring 4.3.3 and Symantec AntiVirus 9.0 are
installed and running on the storage server and the system is running under at
least a moderate load.
NOTE: Load on the server includes client activity, reading, and writing to the
server storage. Moderate load is defined differently depending on which storage
server platform is used.
Workaround To avoid this issue, stop the auto-protect feature of the Symantec AntiVirus
product before running the Storage Manager components. Restart auto-protect
when finished.
Issue: Write cache disabled on ML110 G1, ML110 G2, and DL100
Description The Adaptec 2410SA and Adaptec 2610SA controllers contain cache memory
that may be used for read ahead or write back. Enabling the write back cache
improves performance by allowing the operating system to assume the write
made it to disk when in fact the write only made it to the onboard memory.
While this does improve performance substantially, data loss can occur on writes
that make it to memory but not to disk in the event of a power failure to the unit.
Workaround HP recommends that an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) be used with the unit
for cache enablement to ensure that data loss does not occur. Cache memory
may be adjusted via the Adaptec Storage Manager utility (refer to the
administration guide) or via the ROM based setup. By default, the Adaptec
Storage Manager sets the write cache to enabled on newly created logical disks
via the tool. The setting should be reviewed and set appropriately if a new
logical device is created by the user.
