26 HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 for Novell
NetWare Release Notes
16. Adding unit above
non-partitioned R5 set and
receiving Error 1170:
Partitions found on
container, unit not
created.
This issue has been resolved for most cases. If there is an
error noted when this is attempted, refer to the
REINITIALIZE command in the
HP StorageWorks
HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and Array
Controller Software Command Line Interface Reference
Guide
for help.
17. Using the RUN CONFIG
command while bad disk drives
exist and LFC 83030100
The RUN CONFIG command has been improved and
now skips bad disk drives after the command is submitted
and completes its routine. Previously, the controller would
fail with LFC 83030100. The system reports the following
diagnostic error information:
DEVICE AT P1:T4:L0 failed
initialization, Skipping Device
18. Controller failure and LFC
44650100
With previous ACS versions, controller restarts that
resulted in the issuance of LFC 44650100 occurred if the
controller encountered certain workloads (for example,
large writes outstanding to the controller). This issue is
resolved.
19. Device error handling ACS has been improved to better handle device errors
and inconsistent drive behavior. ACS more readily ejects
drives under failure conditions to the failedset if the
container is redundant.
20. Spontaneous controller restarts
on snapshot
Controller restarts attributed to Intel i960 processor, PCI
Data or Address Line (PDAL), and Cache Data and
Address Line (CDAL) events occurred if heavy I/O load to
source units of a snapshot existed. This issue is resolved
with this release.
21. Intermittent LUN failures Under some conditions, LUNs failed to respond to SCSI
inquiries. This issue is resolved with this release.
22. Controller port TACHYON chip
malfunction
With earlier versions of ACS, controller port TACHYON
chip lock-ups occurred. Issuing the DISPLAY HOST
Virtual Terminal Display (VTDPY) command, in some
cases, reset the port. With this release, ACS employs an
automatic port reset.
23. Excessive abort messages
logged by the host
Under excessively high I/O rates, which included large
transfers, host systems occasionally aborted previous work
queued to the controller due to considerable controller
activity. This issue was further complicated by the use of
partitioned containers and path switches. With this
release, host systems initiate a fewer number of aborted
I/Os.
