6.2.2 HP IBRIX 9000 Storage Release Notes (AW549-96061, January 2013)

previously active management console from nofmfailover mode to passive mode. (Use the
ibrix_fm -i command to check the mode of each management console.) If the passive
management console has not yet assumed active mode, the management console being moved
from nofmfailover to passive mode will become active again.
• File system creation on the 9300 server fails from the Getting Started Wizard. No data loss or
corruption occurs, and you can still create the file system using the Create Filesystem Wizard or
its comparable CLI command (ibrix_fs -c -f...).
• File system creation from the Management Console, not the CLI, might sometimes fail with the
message Exporting filesystem (NFS) failed. The file system was created correctly and
all the other steps in the process have completed.
After creating a file system, you can create an NFS share and export the file system using either
the GUI or CLI, as described in the HP IBRIX 9000 Storage File System User Guide.
Fusion Manager
• Actively running tasks (Fusion Manager event-based) stop reporting status to the active Fusion
Manager (FM) if an FM restart occurred on the system doing the monitoring for that task.
To resolve the issue:
1. Manually delete the task by entering the following command:
ibrix_tasks -k -n <taskid> -F
2. If the FM process was stopped or restarted while a task was running, the common user
database (CUD) and the specific task coordinator (or other task specific process) were left
running. When FM is restarted, it is no longer aware of these processes. A new task of the
same type might not start because the rogue task is still running. Remove the rogue task by
manually stopping the coordinator/task specific processes and restarting the CUD.
• Under some circumstances the flashing of some hardware components can fail. See the HP
HPSP_FMT User Guide for details.
• If Fusion Manager (FM) is taking a long time to start and the logging for FM is showing APPARENT
DEADLOCK messages, purge the event database.
To purge the event database:
1. Enter the following CLI command:
ibrix_event -p [-o DAYS_COUNT]
If you want to change the number of days the event database is purged, include the -o
DAYS_COUNT option when you enter the command.
Events are removed starting with the oldest events. The default is to remove the oldest seven
days of messages. Purge the event database periodically to prevent it from becoming too
large.
2. After the events are purged, create a new FM Store archive by entering the following
command:
ibrix_fm -B
3. Wait for a few seconds to let the Store archive propagate through the cluster and then restart
the active FM.
• The credentials management service (hpsp_credmgmt) will not allow adding a credential for a
new MSA storage array after the credential database is created. The workaround is to install the
credentials manually.
