device type. If the switch zoning is not WWPN based, it shows the information as Unknown in the Switch Zoning Information dialog box. Other issues • Graphics for the MSA and EVA are not accurate: The storage subsystem graphics in the Manage Storage Subsystem dialog box are intended as an abstract representation of the MSA and EVA storage subsystems and their enclosures and drives. The graphic images do not reflect the physical layout of the subsystems. • LUN multipath information: A LUN's multipath information is available only if the LUN is presented to the management host on which the VDS hardware provider and SSCM are installed and running. Workaround: To obtain multipath information for LUNs presented to other hosts, issue the hpdsm devices command from either the EVA DSM command line interface (CLI) or the MSA DSM CLI on that host. • To launch the EVA DSM, select Start > Programs > Hewlett-Packard > EVA DSM > HPDSM CLI. • To launch the MSA DSM, select Start > Programs > Hewlett-Packard > MSA DSM > HPDSM CLI. • SSCM fails to start: If you install SSCM with the MSA only option, and HP Command View EVA is installed, SSCM will fail to start. The error RegOpenKeyEx failed with error 2: The system cannot find the file specified is displayed when you attempt to start SSCM. Workaround: To correct this problem, reinstall SSCM and select the EVA only or the EVA and MSA option if an array is present in the configuration. If no EVA is present, remove the HP Command View EVA suite. • IA64 BIOS update: The HBA driver update feature for Windows on IA64 is not supported in SSCM. • Format drive message: During partition creation and formatting for LUNs for Windows Server 2008, a Windows Format Drive message is displayed to confirm formatting or cancel. Workaround: None. This message will not impact the operation, but a new confirmation window is displayed for each new partition. Click Cancel to close the window. • Server name changes: If the name or another attribute of a server being managed by SSCM is changed independent of SSCM, SSCM continues to display the original name, even after restarting. The server change is not detected until a Server Refresh is performed because SSCM matches up the HBA WWN with the saved server data. The saved server data is not updated until a new broadcast or FDMI refresh is performed. A server refresh is not performed on application startup or asynchronously while the application is open. Workaround: To see the new server name, use the Refresh the Server List option. • Creating partitions on the management station: Deleting LUNs presented to the management station may cause errors if new LUNs are created immediately after the old LUNs are deleted. The new LUNs may not be initialized and a drive letter not assigned. Workaround: Reboot the management station after deleting any LUNs that were presented to the management station. Then, perform the template deployment or creation of any new LUNs. • Maximum size LUN fault: On an HP P2000 G3 FC Modular Smart Array system, expanding LUNs to the maximum size allowed on a RAID-6 vdisk results in an Another call in progress HRESULT 0x80042404 error message. Workaround: Do not expand a RAID6 LUN to the maximum size allowed. Any size smaller than the maximum works as expected. • The Emulex HBA driver FDMI feature might not function as expected: In Windows systems, the Emulex HBA driver FDMI feature might not work correctly, resulting in SSCM being unable to obtain all the necessary information from the HBA to complete discovery of the HBA.
