HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array release notes (XCS 09522000) (5697-0233, November 2009)
Manager for StorageWorks HSV\cache\[EVA WWN]\[EVA WWN].sceventstatefile.txt.
The [EVA WWN].sceventstatefile.txt file stores the last sequence number retrieved from
the controller event log in the second value. If the second value in the [EVA
WWN].sceventstatefile.txt file is larger then the value shown in the GUI, apply the following
workaround:
1. Stop the HP Command View EVA service.
2. Rename the \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Sanworks\Element Manager for
StorageWorks HSV\cache\[EVA WWN] directory to ...\[EVA WWN]_OLD.
3. Start the HP Command View EVA service.
HP Command View EVA will retrieve the controller log events that have occurred since the
controller software upgrade.
If the controller log events from prior to the upgrade are needed, you must retrieve them from the
previous ...\[EVA WWN]_OLD directory.
After applying the workaround, for those controller log-related events that have not been retrieved
prior to the workaround, WEBES callouts and SNMP traps may be sent if the configured rules apply.
Allow this to occur so you can be notified of any important events. For events older than one week,
WEBES will roll all the related events into one callout.
EVA4400 port does not log in to the embedded switch
It has been observed that an EVA4400 host port will occasionally not log in to the embedded switch.
It is believed that this condition occurs if the port does not negotiate to the proper speed setting. If
you encounter this issue, restart the controller to bring the port online. HP is continuing to investigate
this issue.
DR log progress bar percentage appears incorrect
Because the DR log can suddenly reach the full copy threshold, the percentage complete displayed
by HP Command View EVA can appear to be an inaccurate. This is caused by overhead (or metadata)
that is applied to the file and is included in the percent complete, which reduces the amount of capacity
available. This overhead is more significant for smaller log files than larger log files because some
of the overhead is constant in size. For example, a 5 GB minimum log size can contain 35 percent
overhead, while a 40 GB log file might only contain 10 percent overhead. This could cause the
progress bar in HP Command View EVA to show a larger amount of progress than one would expect
for the allocated log size.
Virtual disk sizes displays incorrectly
The HP Command View EVA disk group properties page displays incorrect available sizes for virtual
disks. To view the correct sizes, click Create Vdisk. When you have the correct size information, click
Cancel.
