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

HP StorageWorks Storage M irroring
Issue:
Updating StorageWorks Storage Mirroring application credentials fails
Description
This behavior occurs when the storage server’s domain membership is changed
and the SWSM replication credentials for a new user do not match a user that is
also a member of the local Double Take Admins group.
Workaround
Update the SWSM replication credentials using the user name and password of
amemberofth
elocalDoubleTakeAdminsgroup.
Issue:
Replication
fails on th e replication target
Description
This behavior occurs when replication target paths contain non-ASC II characters. If
StorageWorks Storage Mirroring is used to replicate application data, only ASCII
characters should be used to name Exchange storage groups and stores or SQL
server databases and log files. If non-ASCII characters are used in naming these
application elements, configuring replication will fail.
Workaround
If applica
tion data has a lready been migrated, follow this workaround to ensure
that the replication configuration succeeds:
1. Rename th
e application element (for example, Exchange storage group and
stores or SQL databases and log files) using printable ASCII characters .
2. Reboot t
he application server if needed.
3. For eac
h application area in ASM, right-click the area and select Remove
from view.
4. Verify that the renamed application elements are correctly discovered in ASM.
If replication was configured in ASM and the replication task hangs, follow this
proce
dure to clean up the failed replication job:
In add
ition, you must remove the iSCSI VHD files that were created on the
repli
cation target. iSCSI VHD files are typically located in C:\Data Volumes\Data
Volume<#>\Data Protection\Replication\
1. Restart the HP All-in-One Storage Manager service on the storage server.
2. Open the SWSM management console and remove the replication set that
was
created as part of the failed job.
3. Rem
ove the iSCSI .vhd files that were created on the replication target.
These .vhd files are typically located in C:\Data Volumes\Data
Volume<#>\Data Protection\ Replication\<source server name>\<source
instance name>\<source area n ame>\. You will not be able to remove the
.vhd files until you remove the devices in Microsoft iSCSI Software Target
MMC (available in Administrative Tools).
4. On the replication target system, open ASM and select Remove from view for
e
ach of the a ffected replication target areas.
Issue:
StorageWorks Storage M irroring license is not valid
Description
After initially installing the evaluation version of StorageWorks Storage Mirroring
and providing the evaluation activation key, subsequent installations of SWSM will
indicate that the evaluation license is no longer valid.
Workaround
StorageWorks Storage Mirroring only allows one evaluation period. Attempting to
use the evaluation activation key more than on ce will fail. If a longer evaluation
perio d is needed, please contact your reseller or HP customer support.
