In this case, remove the host from the Device Manager server, and then restart the Device Manager server agent or deamon. The server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.logicalGroup.doRefresh property Even if true is specified to the server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.logicalGroup.doRefresh property in the dispatcher.
Changing the hostname If one or more letters in the target host name is changed, after host information is refreshed, the HiScan command is executed or the Device Manager agent service is restarted on a host, pair information may not be managed by the host. To change the host name, perform the following: 1. Stop the Device Manager agent service and automatic execution of the HiScan command on the host. 2.

available LU number. Even though the LU number candidate is chosen with auto or manual in LU Number, the candidate might not be used. If you need to use a specific LU number for a volume, use Remote Web Console.
When the OK button is clicked repeatedly in the Create Logical Groups dialog box, multiple logical groups with the same name might be created. If this occurs, delete the groups except one. When the OK button is clicked repeatedly in the Delete Logical Groups dialog box, the KAIC15158-E message might appear. If this occurs, ignore the message because the logical group was properly deleted. Search screen The search condition that includes the storage system name cannot be displayed again.
If this does not solve the problem, collect maintenance information and contact HP Technical Support. KAIC16902-E message with no summary information in the main window during any operation in the GUI During any operation in the GUI, the KAIC16902-E message appears in the top window and the Summary information does not appear in the main window. If this occurs, close the error dialog box and continue the operation. If you need the summary information, log in to Device Manager again.
Symptom 3 (GUI, CLI): The volume virtualization using the existing path group generated the following messages: • GUI: DevMgr 7.0.0-00 or later: KAIC06450-E • CLI: HDvM 6.1.0-00 or later: KAIC90083-E (error code: 6450) Do not change the path group setting using XP P9000 Remote Web Console or XP Remote Web Console. Allocating volumes to many hosts Operations in the Allocate Volumes dialog box cannot continue and the GUI is grayed out if the following conditions are met: • Device Manager 7.2.
Volumes allocated to ports with LUN security disabled The following notes apply to volumes allocated to ports with LUN security disabled. • In the Hosts view, volumes allocated to a host do not appear. Confirm the volume information in the Open-Allocated view. • Volumes allocated to multiple ports with LUN security disabled cannot be unallocated from specific ports.
If a task creating multiple volumes does not succeed, refresh the storage system that is supposed to include the created volumes. Then check whether the volumes are created in the Open-Unallocated volumes list of the storage system. Recreate the volumes that were not created.
Status of data collection tasks If the progress indicator of the following tasks is 100%, the status column in the Data Collection Tasks tab of the Administration tab might still be In Progress: • Add Storage Systems • Refresh Storage Systems • Remove Storage Systems To confirm the actual status of the tasks above, check the status column of the Storage Systems table by opening the Data Collection Task Detail dialog box of the task. The logical group information also is not updated.
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.
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. To install Command View Advanced Edition in a file system that cannot handle files larger than 2 GB, specify a file system that can handle files larger than 2 GB for the database installation destination.
Managing resource groups • The KAIC16902-E error message might appear for the following dialog boxes: ◦ Create Resource Group ◦ Edit Resource Group ◦ Add Resource launched from the resource group details window ◦ Remove Resource launched from the resource group details window If this occurs, make sure that no more than 16,000 resources (such as volume and host group IDs) are assigned to each resource group. To assign more than 16,000 resources to a user group, use multiple resource groups.
Creating a pool The error message Failed:AsynchronousProcessCounter#decrement (KAIC16993-E) might appear when one of the following operations is continuously performed in the Create Pool dialog box. • Addition of tiers • Deletion of tiers • Addition of parity groups • Deletion of parity groups If this occurs, close the Create Pool dialog box, and then retry the operation.
Virtual Parity Group information Virtual Parity Group information does not appear in the volume list. Check the Virtual Parity Group information from the Detailed Information dialog box for each volume. Overwriting a Host Data Collector installation • When performing an overwrite installation or upgrade installation of Host Data Collector, an installation message and button label might not appear correctly. If Host Data Collector cannot be installed, uninstall and then reinstall it.
Filtering in the Logical Group dialog box When adding volumes in the Logical Group dialog box, you cannot filter by the Encryption column. If this occurs, filter the volumes with some other criteria first, and then try to sort by the Encryption column. Filtering by capacity Do not use the = (equal) operator to filter by capacity. Use the > (greater than), < (less than), >= (greater than or equal to), or <= (less than or equal to) operators to filter by capacity.
Allocate Volumes dialog box 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 appearing in the dialog box. Unallocate Volumes dialog box If the target volume is deleted during the unallocate volume operation, the KAIC43001-E message might appear.
• XP24000/XP20000 • XP P9500 If this occurs, perform the operation (refreshing or configuration change of the storage system) again. Using the CLI GetLogicalGroup command to view the elements of logical groups Note the following when using the CLI GetLogicalGroup command to view both logical group information and information about the elements of logical groups: • Do not place 16,384 volume paths or more in a logical group. • Do not view 16,384 logical group volume paths or more at once.

Operating XP Snapshot copy pairs by CLI The pair volume status becomes PAIR after PSUS when either of the following operations is executed by the CLI: • XP Snapshot copy pairs are created by the CLI AddReplication command. • The XP Snapshot copy pairs are resynchronized by the CLI ModifyReplication command.
Storage device virtualization tasks If a storage device virtualization task failed by interception, the volume of an external storage system may remain being allocated to an internal storage system. If this occurs, virtualize a storage device with either of the following methods: Using the GUI: Perform either of the following operations, and then retry the volume virtualization task. • Cancel the external path assigned to the external volumes.
KAIC07661-E error in Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning When the Add Storage operation is performed, if the KAIC07661-E error occurs and the VMware vSphere API name embedded in the message is QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions, the condition of volumes might be invalid.
