HP StoreAll OS 6.5.1 Release Notes

the most current state information is reported. Previously, a stale status could display for a NIC
(StatusStale) because the NIC status was being obtained from the NIC state framework on
each node.
• Updated the "Configuring ports for a firewall" section in the HP StoreAll Storage Administrator
Guides to include the ports that must be open when configuring continuous remote replication
(ports 9201 and 9202).
• When running ibrix_fsck in corrective mode, the utility no longer fails with the error SIGSEGV,
Segmentation fault. This error occurred in rare situations where an inode had an unique
set of external attribute blocks and therefore, when any other inodes were not found to have these
blocks, the utility would fail.
• After evacuating the root segment, you can now successfully either create an on-demand snapshot,
delete a snapshot, or delete a snap pool. Previously, these actions would fail with the error
message:
Exception from command getAllSnapshots on <host IP address> Retry
timeout getAllSnapshots
• HP-SMB now properly handles string comparison of absolute file path names for all possible UTF-8
characters. Previously, some Korean/Chinese character combinations were not being recognized
and therefore, any operation on a file with a path name containing these character combinations
was not recognized and therefore, would fail.
• A server failure no longer occurs when simultaneous DCN (directory change notification)
registrations occur on the same file or directory.
• The StoreAll OS Software has been updated to support all legal, non-reserved IP addresses during
IP address configuration for a system. The values for the first and last octets support numbers up
to, and including, decimal value 254. The values for the middle octets support numbers up to,
and including, decimal value 255. For example, IP address 254.255.255.254 is now supported
and is the highest IP address permitted.
• During an upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2.1 or later, if there is I/O load on a node, the HP-SMB services
will now correctly start after the upgrade. Previously, this could made an SMB share inaccessible
on that node and you had to manually restart the service.
• A fixed length has been implemented on the IP address fields in the ASCII UI Wizard. Previously,
there was no limit on these fields and after an error message displayed, you had to press Backspace
and clear the field.
• Implemented a tuning parameter for the SMB feature Durable Handles. By default in version 6.5,
the Durable handles feature is disabled. Previously, this feature was known to cause intermittent
problems in some configurations. The tuning parameter was implemented to address these
problems. If you plan to use Durable handles, you must enable the EnableDurableHandles
registry key. Additionally, you must also enable the EnableOpLocks registry key. After configuring
these registry keys, you should restart the HP-SMB service.
1. Locate the EnableDurableHandles registry key in the HKEY_THIS_MACHINE\Services\
lwio\Parameters\Drivers\srv\smb2 directory and set the value to 1
(EnableDurableHandles=1).
2. To configure the EnableOpLocks registry key, do one of the following:
◦ To configure the EnableOpLocks registry key for all nodes in the cluster, execute the
ibrix_cifsconfig command as follows:
ibrix_cifsconfig –t –S enable_oplocks=1
◦ To configure the EnableOpLocks registry key on each node individually, locate the
EnableOpLocks registry key in the HKEY_THIS_MACHINE\Services\lwio\
Parameters\Drivers\ibfs directory and set the value to 1 (EnableOpLocks=1).
