HP Array Configuration Utility Command Line Interface for Integrity Linux Environments Support Notes Version 8.40

NOTE: To avoid creating this adverse condition, the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation
Pack for Linux installer will not install the HP ACU-CLI (hpacucli) product on these
servers and this option is not displayed in the product installation menu. Further, if
hpacucli is detected on the system, it is uninstalled by the installer.
Workaround: If multiple logical drives are required on a given SmartArray controller, use
the ORCA utility at the EFI shell to configure them. Do not use hpacucli to configure these
storage devices. Alternatively, you can upgrade the OS to RHEL5U2.
THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED IN FOR THE RHEL5U2 RELEASE.
• hpacuscripting return code is not "0".
On HP Integrity servers running RHEL5U5, RHEL4.8, RHEL4.7,SLES10SP3, and SLES11SP1,
run the command $hpacuscripting -i acuinput.ini -internal on SmartArray
controllers. The return code is not 0, but 12. The error.ini file that is created will have
the content ERROR: (2828) New Array ID already exists, requested Array ID: A Controller
HP Smart Array 6400, SLOT7Run the command $hpacuscripting -i acuinput.ini
-external on FibreChannel controllers. The return code is not 0, but 48. The error.ini
file that is created with have the content ERROR: (2864) Invalid Preferred Path Mode, line
20: "PREFERREDPATHMODE= AUTOMATIC".
Workaround: This error does not affect functionality.
Problems Resolved
The following issues have been resolved in previous releases of the HP ACU-CLI.
• HP ACUCLI 8.25 installation encounter dependence issue on SLES10 and SLES11.
Installing ACUCLI8.25 on SLES10 and SLES11 will issue a "compat libstdc:: 296"
dependence issue.
THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED IN THE 8.28 RELEASE.
Workaround: For a SLES10 installation, skip the dependency check before the ACUCLI 8.25
installation. Use the command rpm -ivh hpacucli-8.25-5.ia64.rpm nodeps.
Workaround: For a SLES11 installation, install the file compat 2008.10.27
1.9.ia64.rpm before the ACUCLI 8.25 installation. Next, execute the command rpm
-ivh hpacucli 8.25-5.ia64.rpm nodeps. The file
compat-2008.10.27-1.9.ia64.rpm is included in the HPIEFPL 2.5 CD.
• Migration of logical volume using an unsupported stripe size does not work.
THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED IN THE 8.28 RELEASE.
Attempts to migrate the stripe size of a logical volume to unsupported sizes results in no
error message.
Workaround: You should only migrate existing striping to supported sizes.
• Using HP ACU-CLI on HP Integrity cellular servers is slow.
THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED IN THE 8.28 RELEASE.
Using HP ACU-CLI on HP Integrity cellular servers (for example, an rx8640 server is
cell-based) is extremely slow. Operations within hpacucli, such as “ctrl all show”
status can take several minutes to finish. This issue does not occur on non-cellular HP
Integrity servers.
Workaround: Ensure that you allow an adequate amount of time, commensurate with the
storage size of your server, for the operation to complete. Do not attempt to execute additional
commands until the hpacucli operation has finished.
