• An issue has been addressed which could cause unrecoverable errors during a VRAID1 reconstruct
process leading to an inoperative state of the disk group.
• An issue where scheduling of work twice in a background process could lead to inconsistent unit
state has been addressed.
• An issue where an incorrect unit state could be caused by an erroneous flag set at startup has
been addressed.
• An issue which caused host time-outs in HP Continuous Access EVA during snapshot creation has
been addressed.
• An issue which prevented access to virtual disks by HP OpenVMS hosts after a site failover in HP
Continuous Access EVA configuration has been addressed.
Controller crash issues
• Management commands which are used to gather VDisk status data could lead to a controller
restart due to a resource allocation issue. This issue has been addressed.
• A snapshot creation operation that led to a overcommit state within the array may led to a controller
restart in some instances. This issue has been addressed.
• An issue where an errant response from a disk drive led to a controller termination has been ad-
dressed.
• An issue that led to a controller restart when code load operations were performed during HP
Continuous Access EVA activity has been addressed.
• An issue which caused a controller termination due to a site failover, occurring before a disk group
was brought online, has been addressed.
• An issue which caused a controller termination with loop recovery operations and device discovery
operations occurring at the same time has been addressed.
• An issue resulting in controller restart during storing or retrieval of LUN numbers has been ad-
dressed.
• An issue of nonsequential execution of commands which results in a controller restart has been
addressed.
• An issue of reuse of host port data structures resulting in a controller restart has been addressed.
• An issue which could, under certain instances, lead to a controller termination due to accessing
unallocated memory address in the policy memory has been addressed.
• During time synchronization process in HP Continuous Access EVA environment, if group creation
or deletion tasks are scheduled, it leads to controller restart. This issue has been addressed.
• In HP Continuous Access EVA configurations consisting of EVA3000/5000 source units and
EVA4000/6000/8000 destination unit DR groups, an issue which may lead to controller termin-
ation due to removing a DR group member with which snapshots are associated has been ad-
dressed.
• An issue where controller termination could result from access to a LUN that is being removed
from a DR Group has been addressed.
