HP 2000 Modular Smart Array Controller Firmware J202P01, J212P01, and J302P01 Release Notes (537811-008, December 2012)

• In the SMU, the enclosure status displayed a false red alert status following a firmware update
when the status was actually OK.
• In the CLI, for the set advanced-settings command, the single-controller on
parameter was added to set Single Controller redundancy mode for a single installed controller.
The following enhancements and fixes were incorporated in J202R10, J212R10, and J302R10:
• Scrub caused controllers to halt.
• Identical vdisks created through the CLI and SMU report different volume sizes.
• Power Supply and I/O module statuses were reported differently on Controller A and Controller
B.
• Controller halted when a vdisk expansion started.
• In dual-controller configurations, if one controller halted, the Fibre Channel host links did not
failover to the surviving controller.
• Medium errors on drives in a RAID 6 vdisk caused another vdisk to report a critical state.
• The controller halted when clearing metadata of a leftover disk.
• Due to loss of heartbeat between the two controllers, one of the controllers halted.
• The event log was not updated when a drive was removed (or marked as “down”) while a utility,
such as verify, was running.
• RAID 6 reconstruct caused partner controller to halt.
• Volumes became unaccessible when converting a master volume to a standard volume.
• Drives in non fault-tolerant vdisks did not report unrecovered media error as a warning.
• Heavy RSR load caused a controller to halt.
• Added “year” to the critical error log.
• Controller halted when utility timing was in conflict.
• Controller halted when, under heavy I/O loads, a RAID 6 vdisk had one or more failed drives.
• There were verification errors after an internal error recovery process completed.
• After a failover, an incorrect vdisk utility status was reported in the CLI and SMU.
• Host lost access when a large vdisk was being rebuilt.
• The spare drive was not activated when the vdisk passed into a critical state.
• Updated scrub utility for improved behavior.
• RAID 6 reconstruct reported incorrectly when an additional failure occurred.
• Drive LED behavior was inconsistent.
• A controller halted due to excessive retries when a drive that was being reconstructed to had a
failure.
• Enhanced the Power Supply module Voltage/Fan Fault/Service Required (bottom) LED. It illuminates
solid amber during an under-voltage condition and will now remain illuminated even after the
current returns to normal and the power supply is replaced or power cycled.
• A controller halted during an update of an expansion controller.
• Both controllers halted during a failover.
• Chassis failure caused data access problems and/or data loss.
• Multiple MSA systems presented the same WWPN.
• Improved logging with better historical information.
