Version 7.6.0-00 Description This is the initial release of HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software 7.6.0-00. For details, see “Enhancements ” (page 3). For previous behaviors resolved in this release, see “Fixes ” (page 5). For potential updates to these release notes, check the HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software website: http://www.hp.com/support/cvae/manuals/ Update recommendation HP recommends updating to CVAE 7.6.0-00. Superseded version 7.5.
• The Device Manager CLI now supports the quiet option for commands, which suppresses command output.
• The Device Manager server, GUI, and CLI now support the virtualization server product VMware ESXi Server 5.1, Update 1. For details on guest operating systems, see HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software System Requirements. • For XP P9500 storage systems, Device Manager now supports 3.2 TB flash module drives. • The Device Manager GUI now supports Adobe Flash Player 11.8.
• Host Data Collector could not acquire host information for an AIX host that had a device whose device file name was renamed by the rendev command. • If the hdc_target_getras command was executed on a system that was connected to an HP-UX 11iv3 tape device, a problem, such as a tape access failure or data loss due to overwriting, might have occurred.
Volumes of hosts that are added by executing ImportHosts do not appear in the volume list in the GUI. 1 The total is number of volumes is considered to be large when the volumes visible from the WWN specified by the ImportHosts command exceeds 128,000. 2 If the Device Manager server runs out of memory, "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" appears in the error.log3 file for Device Manager.
Installing Host Data Collector on a UNIX host Before installing Host Data Collector on a UNIX host, make sure that the host name of that UNIX host can be resolved correctly on that UNIX host. If the host name cannot be resolved correctly, a KAIG04047-E error is generated. KAIC17023-E error message in GUI If the GUI displays the KAIC17023-E error message, the storage system information might not have been refreshed, or the resource previously used for migration might not have been released.
In the hosts file, specify the IP address and host name of the host on which Host Data Collector is installed. Host Data Collector must be able to use this IP address to communicate with Device Manager server. Do not specify another IP address for that host. If a DNS server is used for name resolution, the host name must be resolvable to an IP address that Host Data Collector can use to communicate with Device Manager server. 2. Restart the service Host Data Collector Base Service.
When Device Manager server cannot start and a KAIC00114-E error message is generated If the Device Manager server cannot start and a KAIC00114-E error message is generated, even though another product installed on the same machine is not using a port used by the Device Manager server, restart the XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite product services. If this problem occurred during installation, the installation is interrupted, even if the installation was successful.
