HP P2000 Release Note page 5

When a vdisk expansion is requested, the confirmation response has been modified to recommend
that the user access online help for more information. Online help also includes directions how
to obtain the HP P2000 G3 MSA Best Practices – Technical White Paper, available on the HP
P2000 G3 MSA website at http://www.hp.com/go/p2000. To locate the paper, in the gray
selection box, under "Product Information", click Resource library and scroll through the display.
E-mail addresses are limited to 31 characters by the user interfaces and will now be enforced.
Because this limit was not enforced previously, it caused the Management Controller to reboot if
more than 31 characters were attempted.
Improved messaging about power cycling the array during a firmware update.
For the Japanese locale, "create replication" caused a JavaScript error.
Removing and installing a drive in a cascaded MSA70 drive enclosure will now be reported as
expected.
Online help in both the SMU and the CLI has been updated to better describe disk status meanings
and recommended actions.
SCSI reservations were dropped when repeated Test Unit Ready commands were sent.
Results of the "verify links" command were made more stable.
Can now expand vdisks that contain single-ported SATA disks. For information about best practices
regarding vdisk expansion, see the HP P2000 G3 MSA Best Practices – Technical White Paper,
available on the HP P2000 G3 MSA website at http://www.hp.com/go/p2000.
Online help was updated for the SMU verify link task and for the CLI verify remote link
command.
Scheduled operations did not fail over properly when an MC was rebooted.
Added informational messages to the SMU and CLI regarding the Export Snapshot task. It is
important to note that, if a snap-pool becomes critical, all snapshots may be deleted, even an
exported snapshot, with data, that is connected to a host.
When a snap pool reaches 100%, Media Write Protect errors were returned on writes. The snap
pool critical threshold was changed from 99% to 98%, to handle the time required for the deletion
of snapshots, if that policy is employed, and reduces the likelihood of returning Media Write
Protect errors.
The title or subject of several events was changed from "BAD EVENT DECODE" to now include
descriptive text.
Modified the Volume Copy schedule "With Modified Data" checkbox, so that schedule modification
works as follows: when modifying the Volume Copy schedule for a volume, the "With Modified
Data" checkbox is disabled; when modifying the Volume Copy schedule for a snapshot, the "With
Modified Data" checkbox is enabled.
Updated snapshot schedule to show the correct status and time of the next scheduled snapshot.
Snap pools showed as available, but the master-volume showed as "SP Not Accessible".
The following fixes are specific to Remote Snap:
If verify link fails due to CHAP authentication failure, the user will now be provided with an
◦
event or notification.
A duplicate replication set identifier or snapshot identifier can no longer be specified for a
◦
replication set.
◦ Scheduled replications will now start and stop correctly; all date constraints are now working
properly.
◦ Updated calculation and display so that, after 24 hours have passed for replication, the timer
will now be correct.
