Important notes and suggested actions
• The Web Client does not support using the equal-to character (=) in the Server Credentials
password. If you set a password using the = character, a message incorrectly indicates that the
credential was added.
• Uninstalling HP Insight Storage Module for vCenter does not remove all files.
The following directories and their contents remain after uninstalling HP Insight Storage Module
for vCenter:
◦ C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Insight Control for
vCenter\Storage\JBoss\standalone\log
You can access this directory to retrieve log files.
◦ c:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Insight Control for vCenter\icvc
Part of the uninstallation process is to back up server module configuration data. You can
access this directory to retrieve this configuration information and backup data of the server
module.
◦ C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Insight Control for vCenter\export.si
If the storage module was installed and configured previously, the configuration information
is exported to this file. You can import the data from this file during subsequent installations.
• When HP Insight Control for vCenter is uninstalled, the Web Client plug-in is not removed from
the filesystem.
This behavior stems from VMware design. When the plug-in is reinstalled, the correct plug-in is
referenced.
• When Insight Control for vCenter is uninstalled, files or folders that are locked by another process
are not deleted. If that occurs, you might see a message indicating that files or folders were not
deleted and a suggestion to reboot the system in order to clean up registry entries.
Suggested action: Manually restart the system.
