Installation failure may be indicated by the following error message: # ./install_smb.sh bash: ./install_smb.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied Workaround: Manually unmount the installation CD. For example, if the CD was automounted in /media/HpInstallx.x, enter the following commands to remount the CD: # unmount /media/HpInstallx.x # mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom If the unmount command fails with a busy warning, make sure you have closed any applications and consoles using the CD media. • On Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the MSA2000 uses the native Microsoft MPIO.

EVA issues • EVA configuration: SSCM has the following restrictions when managing an EVA array: • SSCM cannot remove host definitions from the EVA. • After adding a port to a host definition, SSCM cannot remove the port. • HP Command View EVA offers flexibility in the configuration of an EVA. However, SSCM may not operate as expected if an array was configured using HP Command View EVA. You can use either SSCM or HP Command View EVA to configure an array, but not both. NOTE: You can use HP Command View EVA to delete unwanted entries in an array's configuration (such as a host or port that has been physically removed). • EVA login account: If the EVA login user name is changed, use the HP VDS Configuration Utility for EVA to re-enter the new user name and password. This utility is installed with the EVA VDS hardware provider and can be launched from Start > Programs > Hewlett-Packard > Hardware Providers. • EVA4400 not discovered on startup: The EVA4400 is not discovered on startup of SSCM. Workaround: If your SAN contains an EVA4400, ensure that all HP Command View EVA installations in the SAN are running HP Command View EVA 8.0 or later.
