Array I/O can halt after a power cycle with an HP-UX host I/O halts after power cycling an HSV300-S enclosure connected to an HP-UX 11.23 host with HP-UX driver versions earlier than B.11.23.08.02. To resolve this issue, either upgrade to version B.11.23.08.02, or reset the HBAs on any server affected after an HSV300-S is power cycled. Reboot can be required after EVA power cycle to resume access to LUNs If an EVA4400 experiences a power cycle while the management GUI for Windows MPIO DSM is open, the LUNs might not appear under Disk Management after they recover.

To reduce the probability of this occurring, HP recommends that you close the GUI when you are not performing management actions.

Stop and restart the Virtual Disk services. 4. Open Disk Management, and then rescan or Diskpart rescan to enumerate the LUNs. If these steps are not successful, reboot the server.

driver versions earlier than B.11.23.08.02. To resolve this issue, either upgrade to version

this occurring, HP recommends that you close the GUI when you are not performing management
actions. HP is working to resolve this issue with the Windows MPIO DSM Manager software.

Close the HP MPIO DSM Manager GUI.
2.
Close Disk Management.
3.
Stop and restart the Virtual Disk services.
4.
Open Disk Management, and then rescan or Diskpart rescan to enumerate the LUNs.
If these steps are not successful, reboot the server.
