HP LeftHand SAN Solutions Support Document - Service Notes - VSA 7.0 for VMware ESX

Clusters

Cannot Create A Cluster Using VSA And Any Storage Module Running

SAN/iQ Software Release 6.6 (7874)

Explanation

SAN/iQ software release 7.0 is the first release that supports mixing RAID

levels in a cluster. The VSA runs virtual RAID which is new in the 7.0 release.

Therefore, the VSA cannot be added to any cluster with storage modules

running release 6.6 or earlier.

Volumes and Snapshots

Failover/Failback wizard does not work correctly when more than one

schedule exists on volume (7696)

Scenario

When a Primary volume has multiple Remote copies to different volumes, the

Failover/Failback wizard does not work correctly when initiated from the

Primary volume.

Workaround

Initiate the Failover/Failback wizard from the remote volume you want to

failover to. This will cause appropriate behavior to occur.

The Volume Edit Dialog Uses Existing Snapshot’s Autogrow Value (7694)

Scenario

We do not recommend using the command line interface (java

commandline.CommandLine) to override the SAN/iQ software autogrow

values. However, if you are in a space constraint and must use the command

line interface to change the autogrow value on a volume with snapshots, and

you later edit the volume using Edit Volume in the Console, the autogrow

value will reset to its original value.
