HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server Release Notes (7.1)

• After installing a certificate, the Insight Control for vCenter displays Error communicating
with HP's services.
Suggested action: Restart all services for HP Insight Control for vCenter. After the services have
started, log out of the Web Client, and then log in again.
• Different parts of the user interface update failure status at different intervals. For example, when
a fan fails, the failure is displayed:
◦ In the News feed within 2 minutes
◦ In the consolidated status and the status detail in up to 11 minutes
◦ In the host or cluster detail information area in up to 21 minutes
Suggested action: Do not be concerned if a recent event does not appear in all areas of the GUI
immediately.
• The Export Data option is missing when Insight Control for vCenter is uninstalled.
The product was designed to display the export data option during software removal only if Insight
Control for vCenter was installed with Custom option. The configuration data is exported implicitly
if the product was installed using Typical option.
• During a firmware update, the Percent Complete status does not update.
The Smart Component does not give the provider an estimated install time. Therefore, the provider
displays 0% or nothing in the Percent Complete field until the installation completes.
• When deploying ESXi 5.0, the ESXi installation window displays a warning similar to the following:
warning:ftp://192.0.2.55/ds/hpfeatures/esxi50/500000
1.cfg:line 19: argument "– -gateway" to command "network"
is missing a value.
warning:ftp://192.0.2.55/ds/hpfeatures/esxi50/500000
1.cfg:line 19: bootproto was set to static but "- –gateway"
was not set. Setting gateway to 192.0.2.254.
This occurs if you do not supply a value in the Gateway or DNS Servers boxes during step 2 of
the HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard.
Suggested action: Ignore this warning message. After a minute the message vanishes and the
installation completes.
• Running the HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard on a USB flash drive fails.
Suggested action: Install ESX/ESXi on the USB flash drive manually. Insight Control for vCenter
does not support deployment on a USB flash drive.
• IP configuration details are retained for subsequent ESX/ESXi deployment.
Suggested action: When deploying a target for a second time, be sure to update the IP Address
and Netmask information.
• When deploying ESX with the HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard Use DHCP option selected,
the target ESX is not configured with the reserved IP address.
Suggested action: Log into the ESX host and do one of the following:
◦ Configure the host network settings manually.
◦ Obtain the generated MAC address from the host vSwitch, and use it to update the DHCP
configuration.
