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
• A newly-created logical volume might not be available.
When you create a new logical volume on a Smart Array controller, you must run the ioscan
command to make the volume available for use.
• 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.
Severity: Low
Corrective Action: To avoid this CRA failure, before running swremove install patch
PHCO_36356 (or a superseding patch). Patches are available from the HP IT Resource Center
at http://itrc.hp.com/.
Under “Maintenance and Support,” click the Patch Database link, then search for the patch
number. For more information on how to manage and install patches, see the Patch
Management User Guide for HP-UX 11.x Systems at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs.
NOTE: If you remove the dynamically loaded ciss driver while it is in use, or if you remove
the statically loaded ciss driver at any time, you must perform a reboot. This is normal
behavior under these conditions, and is not affected by patch PHCO_36356.
• Automatic hot-plug is not detected.
The HP Smart Array Controllers do not automatically detect the hot-plug of internal disks.
Corrective Action: After replacing a physical disk, run the sautil command with the scan
option.
