HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows Storage Server Edition (server/software bundle) Release Notes (403107-008, February 2008)

Expor t fails whe
n
multiple nodes are specified [18265 ]
When the cluster configuration is exported to multiple nodes, the export may fail for a particu lar node or
nodes because the FibreChannel switch is receiving too many requests. The following error is displayed,
followed by a Java exception.
com.polyserve
.mxconfig.StorageException: Cannot get switch information
mxsanconf: 10.11.20.241 failed
The given host is not responding to ICMP pings.
This may be an
in
dication that:
1) The given host is incorrect.
2) The given host is not online.
3) ICMP traffic
is blocked.
Please verify that the switch port is enabled and the
IP address is correct, or if a hostname was supplied,
that it is
regis
tered with DNS. Also verify that the
FC switch and storage array are connected properly and
that the HBAs are using the correct driver version.
Workaround—St
op and restart the Configure Cluster GUI and then retry the export to the remaining
nodes.
mxcheck error message regarding conflicting network addresses is unclear
[ 19168 ]
When mxcheck detects that multiple interfaces have the same network address, it reports the following:
Failure: Check IP network and interface assignments (networks) Interface
10006 shares a network address with interface 10008, Matrix Server requires
each interface to have a unique IP network address.
ClusteredFileSystem needs each server to have at most oneIPinterface perIPsubnetso thatitcan
continuously monitor each interface’s conne ctivity. On the server where the error is reported, multiple
interfaces have the same network address, meaning they are in the same IP subnet, not that they have
identical IP addresses.
This can occur because interfaces are connected to the same I P subnet and get addresses in the same IP
subnet from DHCP. Either move some interfaces to different IP subnets, manually reassign addresses in
different IP subnets to the interfaces, or d isable the extra interfaces.
This situation can also occur because interfaces generated their own addresses automatically. These
will all be in the 169.254.0.0 (“zeroconf”) IP subnet. If you want to use these interfaces on an Ethernet
segment with no DHCP server (say, for the cluster’s private net works), manually assign addresses in
private IP subnets (for example, 192.168.0.0) to them and/or disable the extra interfaces.
If multiple interfaces were being used for performance or availability, use b onding or teaming to make
the
interfaces look like a single logical interface to the operating system.
Double quotes in role names require other characters in name [19178]
When double quotes are included in the name of a role, the name should include at least one letter or
digit for each double quote. For example, if there is one double quote in the name, there should also
be
at least one letter or digit in the name. If there are t wo double quotes, there should be at least two
letters
or
digits, and so on.
