Parity groups which can be searched using Keyword Search are in the following storage systems. • P9500 • XP24000/XP20000 • XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 Parity groups in storage systems other than the above cannot be searched using Keyword Search. Volume search: Search results might not be correct if is not is specified as a conditional equation in volume search by label. Only volumes assigned labels can be searched.
Creating XP Snapshot and Business Copy/Snapshot When XP Snapshot and Business Copy/Snapshot are created by using the CLI, the same volume cannot be used by XP Snapshot and Business Copy/Snapshot. Changing status of copy pair by CLI Do not specify the copytracksize parameter when the CLI ModifyReplication command is executed and the status of XP Snapshot is changed.
Installing Host Data Collector • Although you can specify prohibited special characters other than semicolon (such as @) in the installation path, Host Data Collector will not work properly. When you specify an installation path, use only the following characters: A -Z, a-z, 0-9, left parenthesis [ ( ], right parenthesis [ ) ], single-byte space, backslash (\).
Setting up resource groups While creating or editing resource groups, do not make configuration changes on resources that are to be added to or deleted from the resource groups. The number of client windows that can be used at one time The maximum number of clients that can connect to Device Manager at one time is seven. If eight or more clients connect to Device Manager at one time, they might be forcibly logged out. If this occurs, wait a few minutes, and then log in again.

◦ Adding resources to a resource group ◦ Removing resources from a resource group To add or remove resources, specify no more than 16,000 resources for each resource type. • When multiple resource groups are simultaneously deleted, communication with the Device Manager server might not succeed. Make sure that no more than 16,000 resources for each resource type are assigned to each resource group to be deleted.
Registering Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX hosts through Host Data Collector • The error message does not display correctly if the system locale on the target host is set to a non-English language and the character encoding is not UTF-8.
Appearance of Host Data Collector When using host discovery with Host Data Collector, the following information does not appear correctly: • IPv6 address in Windows 2008 German Edition. • IPv6 address in Solaris and HP-UX environments if IPv4 address specified by a user for registering host is an alias IP address. • IPv6 address in a Linux environment if more than 2 IPv6 addresses are assigned to one interface. • IPv6 address in a non-English edition of Windows 2008 (such as Japanese).
Logical groups list When multiple filter conditions are specified for the logical groups list, only the first condition is effective. If multiple filter conditions are required, repeat filtering one at a time, cumulatively. Sorting and filtering The sort order of the following columns might not be correct. Volume columns: • Volume Attribute • RAID Level • Drive Speed(RPM) • Drive Capacity • Copy Information(P-VOL) • Copy Information(S-VOL) • Capacity • Parity Group • No.
• No. of Parity Groups • Total Capacity File servers columns: • Model Storage systems columns: • Model Data collection tasks columns: • Target Type The filtering result of the following columns might not be correct. Volumes columns: • No.
Sorting multiple columns If multiple columns are sorted, the KAIC16902–E, KAIC16193—E, or KAIC16009–E error might occur. If this occurs, reopen the screen and reduce the number of columns to be sorted. Public search conditions If saved search conditions contain a resource that a user cannot view, the search conditions might be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs, and then the Search button is clicked, the displayed search results might differ from the saved search conditions.
Allocate Volumes When the Allocate Volumes dialog box is launched from the Smart pool screen, and the Show Plan button is clicked, the KAIC15294-E error occurs if the volume capacity specified is less than the minimum value. If this occurs, specify a volume capacity that is more than the minimum value displayed in the dialog box.
Mozilla 1.7.13 (HP-UX 11i v3) If the Device Manager GUI uses Mozilla 1.7.13 on HP-UX 11i v3 for PA-RISC, the IPv6 protocol cannot be used to communicate with the Device Manager server. Using the CLI to create copy pairs If the replicationfunction parameter is omitted in either of the following operations, a KAIC90083-E error occurs.
Using the GUI with Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 Because Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 enables Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) by default, you might experience the following situations: • Loading animation does not move. • You cannot download files from a server with HTTPS enabled. If this occurs, disable the Configure IE ESC.
The number of resources that can be managed by Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning The number of resources that can be managed by Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning is based on the number of resources that can be managed by Device Manager. Use a configuration whose number of resources does not exceed the number that Device Manager can manage. Script error in Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning If Flash Player 10.1 or 10.2 is used, a script error might occur.

This behavior occurs when all of the following conditions are met: • No Replication Manager license is registered, and Replication Manager is started from Device Manager. • From the Pair Configurations view (accessible via the Explorer menu, Resources, and then Pair Configurations), the Copy Pair Summary is viewed (accessible by selecting Pair Configurations, Pair Management Servers, Config Files, and then Copy Groups).
Similarly, do not install any of these HiRDB products on a computer with Command View Advanced Edition Suite products installed. • HiRDB/Single Server • HiRDB/Parallel Server • HiRDB/Workgroup Server • HiRDB/Run Time • HiRDB/Developer's Kit • HiRDB/SQL Executer Adjusting the computer's time If a computer's time is changed while the services of Common Component and Command View Advanced Edition Suite products are running, Device Manager might not operate correctly.
Automatically generating short file and folder names (Windows) Make sure that the setting for automatically generating short file and folder names (8.3 format) is enabled. Also, when installing, use a Windows account that was created when the setting was enabled. If the above conditions are not satisfied, the install might not be successful, or Command View Advanced Edition Suite might not work properly. Even after installation is complete, do not change the setting for automatically generating short names.
Permissions for the directory Grant all users read and execution permissions to the installation directory, as well as all directories below it. In Linux, the directory specified as the installation directory will have its permissions set to 775. Specify an installation directory for which there will be no issues if the permissions are changed to 775.
