firmware: • The HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC MSA Controller and HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI MSA Controller now support a many-to-one Remote Snap configuration, with up to three remote systems replicating to one centralized, local system. • Scheduled snapshots are now allowed on standard volumes - HP P2000 | HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 9
the replication. • The array now checks that the vdisk that contains the secondary volume's snap pool is available before reattaching the secondary volume, resulting in improved likelihood of successful replication.

downloaded firmware package in a temporary directory. 2. Open a Linux command console. 3. From the directory containing the downloaded details on supported command options, see the online help by executing the command ./CPxxxxxx.scexe or ./CPxxxxxx.scexe -h. • If the user name or password contains an - HP P2000 | HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 17
the second controller. (Updating the second controller usually takes 20 minutes to complete, but may take as long as one hour.) 8. In the SMU display, verify that the proper firmware version is displayed for each module.

3. Locate the firmware file in the downloaded/extracted folder. The firmware file name is in the following format: TSxxxRxxx-01.bin 4. Using the SMU, prepare to use FTP: a. Determine the network-port IP addresses of the system controllers. b. Verify that the system FTP service is enabled - HP P2000 | HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 19
the system and repeat the show disks command. (Do not restart the controllers; cycle power on the controller enclosure.) • If the show disks command from all controllers is successful, perform the firmware update process again.

, enter the IP addresses for the servers. Issue: In Windows configurations, the IQN shown by the NC551 card during POST may not match the IQN seen in the array controller. This occurs when the NC551 was set up in a boot-from-storage configuration. After an operating system is installed, the POST - HP P2000 | HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 21
in RHEL 5 Update 5 to access the array. Workaround: See issue 583218 on the Red Hat Bugzilla bug-tracking system https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ show_bug.cgi?id=583218 for the current status of the issue and possible workarounds.

Issue: Using a long IQN name for iSCSI initiators may lead to issues while using SCSI-3 issue has been seen during the cluster validation process on Windows 2008 R2 clusters with 16 nodes, where each node had 4 paths to each LUN of the array. Workaround: Shorten the IQN name on the nodes. - HP P2000 | HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 23

"Disk Array USB Port". If the problem persists, reboot the host. Issue: The mini-USB CLI port on the array controller does not work. Workaround: Install a device driver for the mini-USB CLI port. This driver is packaged as a Smart Component and is available for download on the P2000 G3 support page - HP P2000 | HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 25

is unsupported. Workaround: When creating and mapping a volume using the default mapping in the SMU on a Combo controller system, you must de-select either the iSCSI or the FC ports as this could result in the same LUN being presented to the same host via both protocols. This is unsupported and most - HP P2000 | HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 27
multiple arrays at the same time can cause this issue. Perform one firmware update from one client at a time. Updating one array at a time from a client allows the window to refresh more accurately.
