HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Release Notes (631269-005, February 2011)

• Failover time is affected by the number of system volumes; the more volumes there are, the longer
the failover time when a controller fails.
• When changing a replication set (for example, adding or removing a replication volume, or de-
leting the replication set), do so from the source system; when aborting, suspending or resuming
a replication, do so from the destination system.
• When changing the external-view volume of a replication set, do so from the destination system
first, then perform the change on the source system.
• MSA70 disk enclosures are supported for use with P2000 G3 arrays, but must have firmware
2.18 installed. Please check the MSA70 or P2000 G3 QuickSpecs to confirm which version
MSA70 firmware is supported.
• For the FC/iSCSI MSA Controller, mapping a volume via iSCSI and FC to the same server is not
a supported configuration. Many operating system's multipath solution will not correctly handle
the multi-protocols. Do not map a LUN in this manner.
