P6000 is the new branding for the Enterprise Virtual Array product family. HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager is also known as the replication manager.
NOTE: Virtual disk migration is not supported for LUNs with HP P6000 Business Copy and HP P6000 Continuous Access associations. • Online mirrorclone migration—Migrates data without impacting host I/O by reversing the identities of a source virtual disk and its synchronized mirrorclone. • Demand-allocated containers—Create containers as a demand-allocated type.
Adding the DC-Management license NOTE: A DC-Management license is not required for the HP P6000 arrays. If the following error message appears when you add the HP P6000 DC-Management license, apply the hotfixes as described in this section: LicenseServer; nested exception is: com.hp.storage.common.LicenseServerException: Method Not Found. Either Library[DLL] or API is not found. Windows 2003 SP1 systems must have Windows hotfix KB887693 installed. The hotfix is available at http://support.microsoft.
2. 3. Add domain users with administrator privileges to the newly created groups. Start the installation. An InstallShield window opens. 4. 5. 6. When prompted Do you want to set administrative and user level privileges to domain groups?, select Yes, set the permissions for domain groups. When prompted, enter the domain and group names. Click Next to continue the installation.
Installing other applications or libraries when HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager 5.3 is already installed IMPORTANT: • HP P6000 Command View must be upgraded to version 9.4 before upgrading to HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager 5.3. • HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Server 5.1 is not supported with HP Command View EVA 9.3. • HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Server 5.2 is not supported with HP Command View EVA 9.2. • If HP Command View for Tape Libraries 2.
Enabled host information is not displayed If the replication manager does not display HBA information for an enabled host, HP recommends that you install the Fibre Channel Information Tool (fcinfo) on the host. You can download fcinfo from the following Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.
Replication manager jobs Unmounting a Windows host volume job during I/O If you attempt to perform an unmount operation from the Host Volume tab, either by running a job command or right-clicking a host volume and selecting Unmount, the host volume will unmount immediately. To prevent this, make sure the host volume is not being used before performing any unmount operations.
Job scheduler does not handle Daylight Savings Time properly The job scheduler handles Daylight Savings Time (DST) correctly in the replication manager unless you try to schedule a job on the day that DST changes (spring or autumn). For example, if DST begins on Sunday at 2:00 a.m., and you try to schedule a job that day, one hour is added to the time. (The job scheduler increments the scheduled jobs by one hour.
Management server host name changes If you change the host name of the management server running the replication manager in HP P6000 Command View, and then add the management server as an enabled host in HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager using the previous host name, it will not work. You must delete the enabled host and add it again using the new host name. Also, ensure that any jobs that reference this host are updated with the new host name.
4. Add this IP address as an enabled host to the replication manager server. It shows the array host ports for all cluster nodes on which the IPv6 address is set. Unable to launch the CLUI client from an IPv6 HP OpenVMS host Launching the CLUI client from an IPv6 HP OpenVMS host is not supported because there is no IPv6-compliant Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for HP OpenVMS 8.3.
MountEntireVolumeGroup (LVM2) fails If LVM2 is installed on two HP-UX hosts (host1 and host2), and host1 has a volume group created using LVM2 and host2 does not, the MountEntireVolumeGroup command from host1 to host2 fails. Resolution: Run the vgscan -k command on host2 before executing the MountEntireVolumeGroup command. Resize host volume and LUN fail The resize host volume (VxVM) and LUN fail during I/O. Resolution: Stop all I/O operations on the host volume and rerun the job.
To prevent this, edit the clui.sh file to replace $DIR/../../_jvm/bin/java with the Java installed path. Memory leak in Sun Solaris host agent There is a memory leak in pluggable authentication module (PAM) and SNIA host adapter libraries on Sun Solaris platforms. Resolution: After ensuring that the host agent software patches are current, disable authentication and enable the host bus adapter (HBA) to read information using hbainfo.cfg.
CreateHostVolumeDiscrete job verb mounts wrong partition On a Windows 2003 host, both the primary and extended partitions are created on a disk. The partitions differ before and after a host reboot. As a result, if you run the CreateHostVolumeDiscrete command after a reboot, but use pre-reboot partition numbers in the command, the job will mount to different partitions. Resolution: After the host reboots, re-create the job in the replication manager using the changed partition number.
Setting LVM.EnableResignature on ESX Server 4.0.x and 4.1.x For ESX Server 4.0.x and 4.1.x to run replicate and mount jobs on VMFS volumes, check and reset the value of LVM.EnableResignature if necessary. 1. 2. Open a console session to an ESX server. From the command prompt, run the following command to check the value of LVM.EnableResignature: $/usr/sbin/esxcfg-advcfg -g /LVM/EnableResignature 3. If LVM.EnableResignature is set to 1, no action is necessary.
