HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator v3.0.7 release notes (AG421-96007, August 2007)

Miscellaneous issues

SNMP configuration

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager has two graphical user interfaces; one for WAN Accelerator

management and general system management (the Management Console), and the other for the HP

System Management Homepage. Use the Management Console or the command-line interface to modify

SNMP settings, rather than the System Management Homepage. To change the read-write community

string, use the snmp-server rwcommunity CLI command.

NOTE: The read-write community string must be different from the read-only community string for proper

functioning of the System Management Homepage.

Setting the system date/time

When setting the system date/time in the web-based GUI, if the date and time is significantly off when set

to the current date and time, the GUI will log the user off. Should this occur, log back in, and the date is

now correct. You can then set the time.

Refreshing web GUI pages

When configuring items through the web GUI, at times a browser error may be returned stating Page not

found. When this occurs, click the Refresh button in the web browser, and the page often returns

correctly.

HP System Management Homepage

When logging in to the HP System Management Homepage, use the admin login only; do not attempt to

use a Radius or TACACS+ login.

The login page of the HP System Management Homepage does not allow a blank password. Set the

admin account password before attempting to login to the HP System Management Homepage.

When sending test traps from the HP System Management Homepage (Settings > SNMP Webagent >

SNMP Configuration), only version 1 traps are sent. Set a version 1 trap destination using the general

system Management Console (Setup > Reports > SNMP Trap Receivers) before attempting to send a test

trap using the HP System Management Homepage.

HP Integrated Lights-Out network settings

Modifying settings using the web-based interface of the HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Network Settings

page (Administration > Network Settings) can result in the system locking up. If Automatic Server Recovery

(ASR) is enabled, the system will reboot after the ASR timeout value (see the system's ROM-Based Setup

Utility (RBSU) to determine if ASR is enabled.) To avoid this, access the WAN Accelerator Manager

command-line interface (CLI) and issue the following commands prior to modifying network settings on

iLO:

enable

configure terminal

hp agents stop

Then, modify the network settings on iLO. After you have finished modifying the network settings, start the

HP agents using the CLI:

hp agents start

An alternative is to modify the iLO settings using the iLO RBSU, available during system boot. See the HP

Integrated Lights-Out home page at http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out

for information about iLO, and

the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility user guide on the documentation CD for information about RBSU.
