Pseudo LUN appears after removing all LUNs to host
After removing all LUNs presented to a HP integrated Citrix XenServer host, a pseudo LUN might still be
present to each host in the pool. The WWN presented to each host is not valid and does not represent a
real LUN.
If logged out when screen saver starts system
For security reasons, if no user activity is detected for 10 minutes, HP ProLiant Virtual Console (PVC)
automatically logs out. Any open windows close in PVC, and any jobs started within the console are
aborted. For uninterrupted completion of jobs that take more than 10 minutes and do not require any user
interaction, use a secure shell session to connect to the host and start the job within that session.
ALT+TAB does not work inside Windows virtual
machine
HP PVC uses the [
ALT+TAB
] key combination to switch between windows opened within PVC. As a result,
the virtual machine can not use this key combination or use it to switch between open windows within a
virtual machine. Use the mouse to select and switch between windows in a virtual machine.
