Compaq IML Log Viewer Win32App does not recognize .iml files If the Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer is run from the system desktop via Start >Programs > Compaq System Tools > Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer and the save log file is utilized, the IML will not reopen the file created and an error is displayed. The error displays: You have attempted to open a file that is not recognized by the viewer. Please try a different file.
2. For asynchronous writes: Although Server for NFS informs the NFS client that the data has been safely written to disk, the data is still stored in cache, and is waiting to be written to disk. This might cause file corruption issues if, for example, you lose your power supply to the Server for NFS server while data is still in the cache. At this point, the NFS client assumes that data that was lost was actually safely written to disk. 3.
Volume Mount Points support Attempting to create an NFS share on a disk mounted on a mount point will result in the error: Cannot write IOCTL to NFS driver…. HP StorageWorks NAS 2000s supports many network sharing protocols including the NFS protocol for UNIX and Linux clients. Shares for which the NFS protocol will be enabled must be created on logical disks that are mounted on a drive letter.
Mapping Service Fails to Start If all network ports are not attached to a an active link or contain a port terminator, the mapping service will fail to start on boot. In conjunction with this failure, an error event ID 7034 is logged in system log with details as followed: Source: Service Control Manager Category: none eventID : 7034 file name: netevent.dll Description: the user name mapping service terminated unexpectedly.
Configuring NIC Teaming through Terminal Services results in failure of NIC Teaming When configuring NIC Teaming through Terminal Services, if the port being used for access is a part of the NIC Team, NIC Teaming may not install correctly and access to the port may be terminated. HP recommends using either Insight Lights-Out port or local console access when setting up the 2000s for NIC Teaming.
Renaming host forces a restart where the restart page does not refresh When renaming the host or altering the host name in Rapid Start, the restart page does not refresh to the Welcome page. To resolve the issue, retype the new host name in the address bar on port 3202. Altering the Network interface from DHCP to static causes the page not to return If the Web UI is used to alter the IP settings of the port from which you are managing, the host will be unreachable from the current address.
System Management Homepage displayed in English The localization of the System Management Homepage is dependent on the order in which the following services start; Compaq Web Agent, Compaq Foundation Agents, Compaq Version Control Agent, and the Surveyor service. If the System Management Home page is accessed by either browsing to it through the Web UI or accessing it directly at https://localhost:2381 and it is displayed in English, run the script C:\Compaq\ElmRestart.
Web UI continues to display Orphaned Shares In Windows 2003, deleting a disk that contains a share leaves an orphaned share on the file system. Orphaned shares will continue to be displayed in the Web UI until removed or until the system or service is restarted. RESOLUTION There are three methods for removing orphaned CIFS and NFS shares from the system. Methods one and two cause an interruption in service. 1. Restart the Server service: a. Open the web interface to the 2000s: b.
If the orphaned share was also an FTP Share: 1. Click the NAS Management console found on the desktop. 2. Expand Core Operating System. 3. Expand Internet Information Services. 4. Expand the NAS machine name. 5. Expand the Default FTP site tab. 6. Right-click the name of the share to delete. 7. Choose Delete. If the orphaned share was also an HTTP Share: 1. Click the NAS Management console found on the desktop. 2. Expand Core Operating System. 3. Expand Internet Information Services. 4.
NAS Management MMC has wrong link for Local Users and Groups Task When the desktop shortcut HP StorageWorks NAS Management MMC is run and the local users and groups is selected, a message is displayed: Unable to access the computer HPNAS. The error was: Access denied. This is due to the wrong link entered into the NAS Management MMC. To access Users and Groups, right-click my computer and select manage. The standard MMC will appear. Select Users and Groups.
DFS Root does not update on file share page If a DFS root is created and enabled by default on shares, then later recreated under a new name, the File Share page does not update the DFS local root information and attempts to create DFS entries under the old name. To correct this issue, access the Distributed File System Properties page, update the default DFS information, and click OK. The file share page will now contain the proper DFS informaiton.
Microsoft Server 2003 Event Log Messages in the Event Log Benign Perflib warnings are seen after opening the Performance Monitor and adding a performance counter to the monitor in the application event log. Log reads: Event Type:Warning Event Source:Perflib Event Category:None Event ID:2003 Date:6/13/2003 Time:11:44:18 AM User:N/A Computer:GREMLIN001 Description: The configuration information of the performance library C:\WINDOWS\system32\infoctrs.
Cannot connect to AppleShare from a MacIntosh machine Using a Mac OS X machine when accessing a NAS share returns an error indicating: No file services are available at the URL afp://IPaddress. Try again later or try a different URL (server returned error-5002). If the client authentication method is set to MS + Appletalk, clear text on the client the operation will succeed.
Drive Letters on drive volume letters may be reassigned during quick restore After quick restore of the NAS 2000s, drive letters may be reassigned. Shares will still function against the reassigned drives but the reassignment may be unwanted. To reassign the drive letters to their original assignment, access Disks and Volumes via the Disks tab, right-click the drive in question, select change drive letter, and then edit.
The default configuration is: Array A: Consists of two logical drives and two physical drives in slots 0 and 1. Logical Drive 1: Raid: 1 Size: 27555 MB Sectors: 32 Stripe Size: 256 Array Accelerator: Enabled Logical Drive 2: Raid: 1 Size: 7171 MB Sectors: 32 Stripe Size: 256 Array Accelerator: Enabled Note: HP recommends that you do not change the configuration of Array A.
Quick Restore Requires Version 4.0a The StorageWorks NAS 2000s can be restored to the factory image with the Quick Restore DVD. The image can be restored using one of two methods. However, both methods use the DVD media to initiate the restore. ■ Method 1 utilizes a stand by image on the hard drives to restore the image. ■ Method 2 utilizes the image on the DVD as the source of the image and is used when the primary drives are lost, or when a new image is released for the NAS device.
