HP P2000 HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC and FC/iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware Rele - Page 11

• Fixed the Configuration > Modify Volume Cache Settings page for a volume. • Help for Vdisk Overview page now indicates that NRAID and RAID 1 vdisks do not use a chunk size and that is why they report N/A for the chunk size. • The following fixes were incorporated in the Command Line Interface (CLI): • Help show vdisks-Now indicates that NRAID and RAID 1 vdisks do not use a chunk size and that is why they report N/A for the chunk size. • shutdown both followed by restart sc both-Improved controller stability and reliability. • show host-maps and show volume-maps-These commands are now consistent in the data shown. • show hosts table-Corrected information in the display. If the bus type is not discovered, it is listed as "unknown". • show disk-statistics-The manufacturer's serial number is now correctly displayed. • show configuration-Information about all types of attached storage enclosures is now properly displayed. • show sensor-status and show enclosure-status-Removed Power Supply Unit numbering to avoid inconsistency. • show replication-images-The display will no longer show values over 100 percent. • set volume-The access parameter has been deprecated and removed. • delete volumes and map volumes-Commands such as these that allow multiple items for a parameter will now work with up to 128 volumes. • Issuing an invalid remote command no longer hangs the CLI. • login prompt-Resolved an issue where the IP address was garbled. • show replication-images and show replicationsets-Fixed a case where these commands would display invalid data shortly after a replication completed, resulting in the error message "The specified volume was not found". Important firmware notes • If you intend to use Windows Dynamic Disk (software RAID) on top of your hardware RAID there are some cautions to be considered. For more information, see the section "Real World: Dynamic versus Basic Disks" in the topic at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163558.aspx. • Failover time is affected by the number of system volumes; the more volumes there are, the longer the failover time when a controller fails. • When changing a replication set (for example, adding or removing a replication volume, or deleting the replication set), do so from the source system; when aborting, suspending or resuming a replication, do so from the destination system. • When changing the external-view volume of a replication set, do so from the destination system first, then perform the change on the source system. • MSA70 disk enclosures are supported for use with P2000 G3 arrays, but must have firmware 2.18 installed. Please check the MSA70 or P2000 G3 QuickSpecs to confirm which version MSA70 firmware is supported. • For the FC/iSCSI MSA Controller, mapping a volume via iSCSI and FC to the same server is not a supported configuration. Many operating system's multipath solution will not correctly handle the multi-protocols. Do not map a LUN in this manner.
