Names column in the Host window of Device Manager GUI to confirm the WWN of the virtual machine. Replication Manager: The Replication Manager command device configuration function cannot be used to set a volume as a command device if the volume has been allocated for a virtual machine. 1. Use P9000 Remote Web Console to set the volume as a command device. 2. Use P9000 Remote Web Console to add the command device in step 1 to a VMware host group, and ensure that a path is set for the command device. 3.
• The installation/uninstallation of Host Data Collector on a non-system drive creates a temp folder on that drive. You can delete the folder. • If the environment variable tmp in Windows includes characters other than the following, installation fails: A-Z a-z 0-9 space ._() ~@#$^&()_+{}`-=[]',ó Change the tmp path to use the above characters. • When Host Data Collector is installed on a SUSE Linux server, Host Data Collector does not start automatically after the operating system is rebooted.
This issue occurs when either of the following conditions is met: • A resource for which the user does not have the view permission is specified for the saved search criteria. • Resources have been deleted from the saved search criteria. Do not save search conditions containing a resource that a user cannot view. File systems that cannot handle files larger than 2 GB Command View Advanced Edition database must be installed in a file system that can handle files larger than 2 GB.
4. Import the database. 1. Execute the hcmdsdbtrans command to import the databases: \Component\bin\hcmdsdbtrans /import /workpath /file /type ALL /auto 2. Specify true for the server.base.initialsynchro property on the Device Manager server. Other than user information, the hcmdsdbtrans command does not migrate the Common Component repository.
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.
This issue 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 by Explorer→Resources→Pair Configurations, the Copy Pair Summary is viewed (accessible by selecting Pair Configurations→Pair Management Servers→Config Files→Copy Groups. • Copy pairs that cannot be viewed are in the copy group selected in the previous issue.
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. Registering hosts of HP-UX 11iv2 (IPF and PA-RISC) and 11iv3 (PA-RISC) by using Host Data Collector Registering or refreshing hosts of HP-UX 11iv2 (IPF and PA-RISC) and 11iv3 (PA-RISC) times out if a stale NFS mount exists on the target host.
• Search Results for THP Pools: Subscription • Parity Groups: Parity Group • Parity Groups: RAID Level • Parity Groups: No. of Volumes • Available Parity Groups: No.

Reduce the number of IP addresses assigned to the server. Switching the JDK To use Oracle Sun JDK 5 (1.5.0) or Oracle Sun JDK 6 (1.6.0) instead of the bundled one, add its java.exe to the Windows Firewall exceptions list manually if the Windows Firewall is enabled.
Executing tasks If an operation (such as the user is locked, the user's permissions are changed, or the user is deleted) is performed to the user who registers a task, the task execution is not cancelled. Likewise, even if the user group to which the user belongs or authorized resource groups are changed, the task execution is still not cancelled. Check the status of all tasks, and then cancel the task manually. If the task is not cancelled, the task might not execute.
Subtarget parameter of GetLogicalGroup command by CLI In the GetLogicalGroup command, only Path is valid for the subtarget parameter. Host and HostStorageDomain are invalid for the parameter. To confirm hosts contained in logical groups, use the GUI.
Adding a host that has multiple IP addresses by Host Data Collector When adding a host with multiple IP addresses to the Device Manager server, the first IP address registered in the Device Manager server is added to the host. At this time, error messages are displayed for IP addresses other than the first one. Ignore the error messages. The unallocate volumes dialog box If the target volume is deleted during the unallocate volume operation, the KAIC43001-E message might appear.
2. To set the clock back, wait until the actual clock time catches up to the computer clock time, and then restart the computer. When using the Device Manager server in a time zone within the United States or Canada, set the operating system of the computer on which the Device Manager server will be installed so that the operating system is compatible with the new Daylight Saving Time (DST) rules.
Symbolic links (UNIX) Ensure that the symbolic links indicated in the following table are not set. If any are set, installation might not be successful.
