Description

Issue ID
When resynchronizing a volume over 2TB in size to a rcopy secondary
system, a 32bit counter used to represent the number of contiguous
2.3.1 MU1: sysmgr panicked, system
pending pfail recovery
54956
blocks which has ""delta"" data since the last resync may overflow.
HP 3PAR OS has since been enhanced to use 64bit counters.
Addresses an issue in earlier software releases where Emulex HBA
ports configured in host/fabric mode could be switched to initiator
mode after node replacement.
Configure fabric ports in target mode
after node replacement
55196
In 3.1.1.MU1, there will be IMC support for the scheduler because
this bugfix enables the required functionality in the HP 3PAR OS.
Allows IMC support for scheduler
56781
The command
setvv -snp_cpg
(remove the snapspace CPG) was
causing the System Manager to crash for Virtual Volumes created via
sysmgr panic and degraded single
esi port for all cages when removing
vv from cpg
57495
createaldvv
, which had space reclaimed. This command should
now work without error, provided that there is no snapshot on the
Virtual Volume.
To avoid potential problems with stalled remote copy traffic, in
2.3.1.MU5 the
creatercopytarget
and
admitrcopylink
Remote copy traffic may stall if
destination link IP address
corresponds to a local link address
58251
commands will not permit destination link IP addresses that correspond
to local RCIP link addresses or the address of the management
interface.
Media failures on certain chunklets would sometimes prevent relocation
of other chunklets from the raid set as well as returning a preserved
LD back to normal. This has now been fixed.
Fixed chunklet relocation after media
failures.

When a controller node rejoins cluster, HP 3PAR OS attempts to
rebalance the load across system. During the rebalancing process,

the current HP 3PAR OS does not handle the out of resource condition
which can cause entire system to be offline. The fix is to make sure
there is enough resource before starting the load rebalancing process.
There is a new database created in the “Atlantis" instance, called
"OAuth". Notice that there is a "space" in the name of the database.
Failed snapshots for atlantis cluster -

For some reason, definitely a bug with the SQL writer, the writer fails
to come up; which explains why we don't see it in the list of vssadmin
writers. This topic has been discussed, and the user apparently found
the solution with no acknowledgement from Microsoft.
