6.0.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Release Notes

If you want to keep logging enabled, be aware that the log messages occur frequently, and you
will need to monitor and clean up the log file regularly to avoid filling the file system.
• If Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) resolution is not configured properly for the hosts, the
following error appears when hpsmhd is restarted:
Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,
using <ip> for ServerName
To configure FQDN resolution, use either the /etc/hosts file or the Domain Name Service.
• If SNMP is logging excessively, add the following command to the file /etc/sysconfig/
snmpd.options to stop the logging:
OPTIONS="-LS 0-4 d -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a"
To enable the default SNMP logging, update the following command in the file /etc/sysconfig/
snmpd.options:
# OPTIONS="-LS 0-4 d -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a"
Add a pound sign in front of the command and save the file. Then restart the snmp service:
service snmpd restart
• If the X9720 Onboard Administrator is discovered as unknown on IRSS, enter the following
information manually:
◦ Select the System Subtype as ProLiant Onboard Administrator.
◦ Enter the Entitlement serial number (this is same as the X9000 enclosure product number).
◦ Enter the Entitlement product number (this is same as the X9000 enclosure product number).
Upgrades
• System User login credentials are backed up and restored during upgrades. However, any user
data is not retained. Users must save and restore their individual data manually during an upgrade.
• If clients previously mapped a CIFS share using the hostname/FQDN, they will be prompted
continuously to enter their credentials when attempting to access the CIFS share after the upgrade.
(The share can be accessed successfully using the IP address.) To workaround this situation, disjoin
and then rejoin all file serving nodes to the Active Directory domain. This can be done using the
GUI or the ibrix_auth command.
General
• The ibrix_pv -a -o mpath command does not recognize a multipath device. The command
works properly when an argument is added to ignore the standard scsi devices. Execute the
command as follows, specifying the path to your device.
ibrix_pv -a -o accept:/dev/mapper/mpath10,~standard
• HP-OpenIPMI does not work with the HP-Health service. For example, Proliant health check tools
such as SMH and SIM and hpasmcli commands such as SHOW POWERSUPPLY do not report
errors. This situation occurs because X9000 Software requires standard RHEL IPMI. Remove the
HP-OpenIPMI RPM (execute rpm -e HP-OpenIPMI), and then start the standard RHEL IPMI
(execute /etc/init.d/ipmi start). The standard RHEL IMPI will now start automatically
when the server is booted.
• During server migration or failover, certain cluster events will be reported as alerts. These events
are expected and normal, and are reported temporarily as a server is failing over to another
server.
• Node failover does not occur when a node has a complete loss of power (for example, removing
power cords or pulling a blade from a chassis). Do not test high availability in this manner.
