HP Storage Platform 2.1 Release Notes

Implementation Changes
Implementation Changes in the 2.1 release
None. This release fixed a few defects, updated a few firmware ingredients for the recipes and
introduced a few enhancements. A number of issues were discovered (primarily in the lab). They were
not fixed in this minor release, so these are documented here as an aid to field engineers and customers
who may encounter them too.
Implementation Changes in the 2.0 release
The following section describes implementation changes to hardware monitoring that were made in HPSP
Release 2.0:
• All of the logical (volumes) and physical (controllers, ports, drive enclosures, drives, etc.) objects
that are under the control of a storage controller or pair of storage controllers are grouped
together within a new logical STORAGE_CLUSTER component in the storage health report to
depict their relationship in the storage topology.
• On the Ibrix 9320 Storage Platform the HA_STORAGE health monitoring category has been
replaced with the new STORAGE_CLUSTER category for monitoring couplet visible storage. The
HA_STORAGE category is still supported but is being deprecated in the next release.
• A subset of all visible storage clusters can be monitored by specifying a list of storage cluster
UUIDs on the hpspmon command line. Prior to this change all storage clusters would have been
monitored.
