HP OneView for VMware vCenter Release Notes (7.4)

• The vSphere Web Client does not display information in the host details page unless an iLO
Advanced license is installed on the host’s iLO.
Suggested action: Install an iLO Advanced license for each host that is managed by HP OneView
for vCenter.
• After installing a certificate, the HP OneView for vCenter displays Error communicating
with HP's services.
Suggested action: Restart all services for HP OneView for vCenter. After the services have started,
log out of the vSphere 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 HP OneView for vCenter is uninstalled.
The product is designed to display the export data option during software removal only if HP
OneView 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 Management Deployment Wizard.
Suggested action: Ignore this warning message. After a minute the message vanishes and the
installation completes.
• Running the HP Management Deployment Wizard on a USB flash drive fails.
Suggested action: Install ESX/ESXi on the USB flash drive manually. HP OneView 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.
