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

Workaround

Assign “public” adapters, intended for servicing users, to a subnet distinct

from storage adapters.

Time On The VSA Is Out Of Sync With The Time On The ESX Server (8101)

Scenario

The customer will experience a noticeable time difference between the actual

time and the time displayed on the Console for the Virtual SAN

Appliance (VSA).

Solution

Using the VMware VI Client, configure ESX to sync the system clock with

NTP (See ESX configuration documentation). The VSA’s time is ultimately

controlled by the physical systems’ hardware clock. ESX controls the relative

hardware clock for each guest operating system. If the ESX server has the

incorrect time, the guest operating system will also display the incorrect time.

Reports, Logs and SNMP

In The DL 380, The Cache Battery Status Is Not Clear In The Hardware

Information Log (5387)

Scenario

If you remove only the battery from the controller card, the battery status is

reported as Faulty.

On the Hardware Information Report, if you see this:

Battery 1 Status faulty

This means that the battery on the controller is missing, although the

controller card itself may be present.

Workaround

Replace the BBU.
