HP ProLiant Storage Server with Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 release notes (March 2006)

Storage Server with Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 release notes 17
Issue: Version information of HP Insight Diagnostics is not displayed properly in Japanese on the
ML310 G3
Description When the version information link that is around the upper right side of
Insight-Diag page is clicked, a mini window is displayed showing you the version
of the utility. Within the Japanese environment, part of version string may be
displayed as corrupted text.
Workaround Check the Auto-Select Encoding option of Internet Explorer (View > Encoding >
Auto-Select).
Issue: General view of the HP Server Management System is not displayed
Description The HP SMS needs the Macromedia Flash player to display the General view on
the DL100 G2 storage server.
Workaround Download and install the Macromedia Flash player.
Issue: Write cache disabled on ML110 G1, ML110 G2, and DL100
Description The Adaptec 2410SA and Adaptec 2610SA controllers contain cache memory
that may be used for read ahead or write back. Enabling the write back cache
improves performance by allowing the operating system to assume the write
made it to disk when in fact the write only made it to the onboard memory.
While this does improve performance substantially, data loss can occur on writes
that make it to memory but not to disk in the event of a power failure to the unit.
Workaround HP recommends that an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) be used with the unit
for cache enablement to ensure that data loss does not occur. Cache memory
may be adjusted via the Adaptec Storage Manager utility (refer to the
administration guide) or via the ROM based setup. By default, the Adaptec
Storage Manager sets the write cache to enabled on newly created logical disks
via the tool. The setting should be reviewed and set appropriately if a new
logical device is created by the user.
Issue: A blank page is opened when the Array Diagnostic Utility is executed
Description A blank page opens as hpapp://ADU/default.htm when the Array Diagnostic
Utility 7.40.7.0 is executed. The blank page does not close after the Array
Diagnostic Utility is closed.
Workaround Close the window manually.
Issue: Help files are not displayed for Broadcom Advanced Control Suite
Description When selecting the Help button for the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite
(Start > Programs > Broadcom > Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2), the Help
files are not displayed for the DL100 G2 server
Workaround HP engineers are working to resolve this issue.
