Known Issues

If you are uncertain about the issues or workarounds addressed in this

readme file, contact Hewlett-Packard Technical Support.

1. Duplicate connections may appear in a Connections report. Generally

this will be seen as a connection listed by server name, and the same

connection listed by the fully-qualified domain name of the source server.

This typically will appear if the time period selected for the report

includes the time that the server node was configured in Storage

Mirroring Reporting Center.

2. When moving nodes between groups, a server node can be cut and

pasted to a higher level in the tree, but not to a lower, nested level.

To workaround this issue, shutdown then restart the Storage Mirroring

Reporting Center interface, then use the Unassign and Assign functions

to move the server if necessary.

3. The Add/Remove programs applet will not uninstall the SQL VSS Writer,

SQL Native Client, and SQL Support Files. These files are left behind by

the SQL Express installer and may be uninstalled individually if desired.

4. If a Group Node containing servers is deleted, the servers do not appear

in the Unassigned Node list. The servers must be deleted using the Node

Editor and then recreated. Then they can be assigned to the desired

Group Node.

5. Virtual Windows XP clients hosted by Windows Virtual Server may not

display the lines connecting the various sub-elements in the hierarchy

tree in the GUI. This issue does not appear on Windows XP clients hosted

on hardware.

6. After eleven or more non-Storage Mirroring servers are added, Storage

Mirroring Reporting Center will no longer generate reports and it will

appear that Storage Mirroring Reporting Center has stopped collecting

data. After removing the non-Storage Mirroring systems, Storage

Mirroring Reporting Center will not restart data collection for up to 24

hours. Contact Hewlett-Packard Support for a work-around to this issue.

7. The Storage Mirroring Reporting Center server cannot gather data from

Storage Mirroring servers operating on non-standard Storage Mirroring

ports.

8. The Storage Mirroring Reporting Center client is unable to connect to a

collector in a foreign domain. The client will connect to the collector and

display the configuration information only. If a user attempts to generate
