4 Known Problems and Limitations This section provides a list of problems and limitations known to HP when these release notes were published. If workarounds are available, they are included. 4.1 For All Smart Array Controllers • Unnecessary reboot occurs when removing the ciss driver. If you use the swremove command to remove the dynamically loaded ciss driver, the Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) can fail. This causes swremove to incorrectly reboot the system.
devices connected to the internal and external connectors on the same channel, the controller fails. Corrective Action: Shut down and power off the system, fix the cabling issue, and power on the system. 4.3 For SAS (Serial-Attached SCSI) Smart Array Controllers • Special considerations apply when upgrading a server with an MSA2300 Series enclosure to HP-UX 11i v3 Application Release 0909. HP-UX 11i v3 Application Release 0909 (AR0909) contains the RAID-01 B.11.31.0903 bundle.
The status of a SAS SES device is always FAILED. The FAILED status does not indicate that the enclosure is not functioning. It means that it is not a DISK device. Corrective Action: None. You can continue to use the SAS storage enclosures. You can also use sautil to download enclosure firmware when needed. For more information, see the HP Smart Array P400 and P800 Controller Support Guide at: http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html • HP-UX installation fails.
5.4 Other Requirements • HP Support Tools Manager (STM) and Event Monitoring Service (EMS) You must use OnlineDiag vA.45.00 or later for STM and EMS support with Smart Array Controllers. • HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) You must install vPars vA.02.03.00 or later to use Smart Array Controllers in a vPars environment. 6 Related Information The latest documentation for RAID-01 is available in English at: http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.
