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

Issue: USB CLI becomes unusable after a Management Controller reboot in Windows environments.
Workaround:
1. Close down the terminal application. (Example: HyperTerminal)
2. Open Device Manager and disable the “Disk Array USB Port” under Ports (COM & LPT).
3. Re-enable the “Disk Array USB Port”. If the problem persists, reboot the host.
Issue: The mini-USB CLI port on the array controller does not work.
Workaround: Install a device driver for the mini-USB CLI port. This driver is packaged as a Smart Component
and is available for download on the P2000 G3 support page.
Issue: When using SMI-S, only partial support is provided for iSCSI Target Ports Subprofile.
Workaround: None.
Issue: When using SMI-S, the ExtentStatus property in StorageVolume is always set to “2”.
Workaround: None.
Issue: When creating a storage repository with Citrix 5.5 update 2 and attaching it to the server pool while
the servers in the pool are on, the storage repository is only multipathed on the master server. This seems to
happen only with the first storage repository created after rebooting the servers. If a second storage repository
is created and attached (without rebooting the servers), that storage repository is correctly multipathed with
all servers in the pool.
Workaround: Detach and reattach the storage repository and the storage repository will be multipathed with
all servers in the pool.
Issue: In HP-UX 11.23, I/O may take a long time to complete.
Workaround: Ensure that the primary path is the first path in the PV-Links configuration.
Issue: SLES 11 XEN multipath failover may not work as expected.
Workaround:
1. Open the /etc/multipath.conf file for editing.
2. Change the rr_min_io setting to 120 (from 100).
3. Change the no _path_retry setting to 20 (from 18).
4. Save and exit the utility.
5. Run service multipathd restart or restart the server.
Issue: There is no indication that a LUN has failed over to the other controller.
Workaround: Using the Storage Manage Utility (SMU), open up system events and scan for failover events.
When using the CLI, use the show events command.
Issue: When accessing the Command Line Interface (CLI), output from commands scroll by with no option to
page through the output.
Workaround: Change the window height or scrollback value of the command window to a larger value and
use the scroll bar on the command window to scroll through the CLI output.
Issue: A replication is initiated, but only a snapshot on the primary volume occurs, or the replication is queued.
Workaround: Ensure that all systems involved have valid replication licenses installed and that all volumes
and vdisks involved in the replication have started, are attached, and are in good health, including vdisks
that contain the snap pools for the volumes involved. A replication normally queues when a previous replication
involving the same volumes is active.
