6.2.3 HP StoreAll Storage Release Notes (update)

• Fixed an issue that caused i_blocks and i_total_blocks to become out of sync when a directory
was being created.
• Refresh stale dentry now displays when a misidentified dangler or a legitimate corrupted
directory condition occurs.
• A missing attribute in the LDAP server user record now generates an error in the log, but no longer
results in a crash.
• Wrapper scripts were modified to accept spaces in arguments.
• The IBFS driver registry entry is now stored in memory to avoid the overhead of reading from the
registry.
• Fusion Manager correctly redirects stdout and stderr messages to the log file, which ensures
that phases 2 and 3 of the ibrix_fsck command will complete.
• The file name in the DCN response was changed to be the relative Windows file name (which is
the Windows server behavior) instead of the absolute UNIX file name.
• The default number of adm server threads was increased from 10 to 24. Previously, adm server
threads were used only for Fusion Manager and IAS management but many utilities now use adm
server threads.
• A race condition could occur in the StoreAll kernel when a delegation thread was deallocated
without being properly synchronized with other threads. This occurred only in very rare
circumstances. The fix ensures that proper synchronization occurs before performing the thread
deallocation.
• An electrical signal on the cache module is now synchronized before being analyzed. Previously,
electrical noise on this signal had been driving the supercapacitor charging logic into an undefined
state.
• A deadlock in the switch’s internal thread handling was eliminated.
• The controller firmware now retries certain operations that were prematurely marked as failed.
• A reset signal on the cache module was previously being cleared prematurely in brownout
scenarios; this has been corrected.
• The firmware was corrected to ensure that drive heads are safely parked during a loss of power.
• Previously, the switch firmware was miscounting SAS frame errors, resulting in a generic warning
being displayed on the SAS switch.
• The Firmware Management Tool now displays a more informative error message when it is unable
to retrieve a list of file serving nodes from the Fusion Manager.
• The firmware bundle includes disk drive firmware version HPD3 for disk drives MB1000FBZPL
and MB2000FBZPN. HPD3 prevents an infrequent condition that may occur when the WRITE
SAME command is used during RAID ARRAY parity initialization, which can result in unexpected
data on the hard drive.
• Fixed an issue with StoreAll Linux clients running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x in which the system
froze for five seconds during file editing.
Fixes in the 6.2.2 release
• Administrators were unable to add a user as “nasxxx” in SMB Authentication.
• Share administrators were unable to add users and groups with parenthesis and ampersands in
their name to an SMB share.
• Thousands of /tmp/tmp*.lvmtool directories were being created.
• StoreAll nodes were not discoverable when the Fusion Manager IP address was used in HP Systems
Insight Manager (SIM).
