Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 This section describes issues related to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. Issue: Quotas used Description If files for user accounts are deleted using the local login account, this has the effect of moving user files to the recycle bin instead of removing them from the drive. Due to the nature of volume-based quotas (instead of directory-based) this has the effect of not releasing quota space.
R2 Upgrade This section describes issues related to upgrading to Windows Storage Server 2003 R2. Issue: R2 upgrade requires Windows Server 2003 CD Description When upgrading to Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, you are prompted to insert the Windows Server 2003 CD because files cannot be located. There are usually two files that cannot be located during the initial upgrade and one file when finalization occurs. Workaround The files are located on the CD under the i386 folder. To access a file: 1. Click OK.
Issue: The MPIO drivers on the standard and enterprise systems are not current Description On standard and enterprise systems, the MPIO drivers located in the c:\hpnas\components\sanconnect folder are not up-to-date. Workaround Go to http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/multipathoptions/ index.html and download the latest version of the MPIO drivers for your operating system.
Issue: The R2 upgrade from Workgroup to Standard edition may fail to continue Description The Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 upgrade from Workgroup to Standard edition does not continue if the DON’T ERASE volume has been assigned a drive letter before starting the upgrade. Workaround The R2 upgrade process removes the drive letter of the DON’T ERASE volume, which results in a different drive letter being assigned to the DVD drive.
HP Storage Server Management Console user interface This section describes issues with the user interface for the HP Storage Server Management Console.
Configuration This section provides additional information on configuring your storage server. Issue: An unknown PCI serial port device can be seen in Windows Device Manager Description On the ML310 G3 storage server, if the optional serial port is enabled, a PCI Serial Port can show up as an unknown device. Workaround Reboot the system, press F9 during boot to enter the RBSU, open the Advanced Options, choose the Erase Non-volatile Memory option, and confirm the erase.
Issue: A blue screen occurs on the DL100 G2 if rebooted during resynchronization of the storage volume Description If the DL100 G2 storage server (software RAID models only) is rebooted while the storage volume in Microsoft Disk Management displays a “Resynching” status, a blue screen may occur on the storage server during startup.
Exchange databases This section provides additional information regarding Exchange databases. Issue: Exchange System Manager—All Tasks option not available Description If the Exchange System Manager is open when installing the Feature Pack or the Exchange server, you may receive an error stating that the Exchange System Manager should be closed. The All Tasks command is not available in the drop-down menu that displays when a storage group in Exchange System Manager is right-clicked.
Issue: Unexpected reporting of moved mailstores during configuration change Description While using the Remote Storage Wizard from the Exchange System Manager and performing a configuration change, a report stating that the wizard is moving all files may be shown. Workaround The report generated is erroneous. During configuration changes, no data files are moved.
Microsoft Services for NFS This section provides additional information on using Microsoft Services for NFS (MSNFS) on the storage server. Issue: NFS Share resource not available after cluster has been started Description This issue occurs because the NFS services are not registering the cluster portion with the OS. Workaround Uninstall Microsoft Services for NFS and reinstall it. This can be done using these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs.
Clustering This section describes issues related to clustering. Issue: Extended disk fails mount after cluster failover Description If you extend a volume of a disk in a clustered configuration, and the group is moved (or fails over), it fails completely due to an inability to mount the disk. This happens on any node in the cluster. As a result, the drive letter designation has been lost. Workaround Reassign drive letters for volumes on each of the cluster nodes.
Additional applications and utilities This section provides additional information on using certain applications and utilities on the storage server.
Issue: Version information of HP Insight Diagnostics is not displayed properly in Japanese on the ML310 G3 Description When the version information link that is around the upper right side of Insight-Diag page is clicked, a mini window is displayed showing you the version of the utility. Within the Japanese environment, part of version string may be displayed as corrupted text. Workaround Check the Auto-Select Encoding option of Internet Explorer (View > Encoding > Auto-Select).
System installation and recovery process This section describes issues related to installing the operating system or the recovery process. Issue: After performing installation or recovery, the machine boots again to the System Installation and Recovery menu rather than the Windows logon screen Description If the recovery DVD is left in the drive of an ML310 G3 storage server, the system will boot again from the DVD, even though the installation or recovery process is complete.
Documentation updates This section describes issues related to documentation for the storage servers. Issue: Incorrect note for Single Instance Storage in the Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 upgrade guide Description On page 17 of the HP ProLiant Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 upgrade guide (part number 5697-5667, March 2006), the note incorrectly lists SIS availability on Windows Storage Server R2 Workgroup Edition.
