HP ProLiant Storage Server release notes (5697-7750, November 2008)

All-in-One Storage M anager
Description
If you use a non-ASM tool (such as the Array Configuration Utility, for example) to
modify storage settings, you must allow ASM time to recognize those new settings
during the discovery process. If you attempt to perform storage operations before
the discove ry process is complete, ASM will erroneously attempt to perform storage
operations such as growing non-existent log ical disks.
Workaround
When modifyin
g storage settings outside of ASM, allow enough time for the ASM
discovery process to recognize those new storage settings before performing any
other ASM operations.
Issue:
When attemp
ting to provision storage on ASM, an error message appears
Description
When attempting to provision storage, an error message indicating that “no
storage could be found or created to satisfy the request” may be issued. This error
can appear when attempting to provision storage across multiple disk types.
Workaround
Virtual arrays that span multiple disk types cannot be created. When provisioning
storage, the maximum amount of space you can allocate is limited by the largest
amount of space available for a single disk type. You cannot completely utilize the
spaceonallofthedisksifthedisksareofdifferenttypes.
