HP-UX WBEM DAS Provider release notes (5900-1778, September 2011)

Table 7 Defects Fixed in HP-UX 11i v3 OS (continued)
does not refresh its cache. This results in displaying the disk details even though the disk is
removed or not online.
This defect is fixed in the current release. The disk online / offline events will be generated
for disks behind FC/SAS.
In the previous release, the DASProvider used semaphore with semid == 0 even when it was
created/used by other application and this affected the applications.
QXCR1001120981
This defect is fixed in the current release. DASProvider will not be using any semaphonre. The
usage of Semaphores has been replaced by a Mutex lock.
In the previous release, the HPUXStorageIndicationProviderModule registers to disk_em,
msamom, msamom_sas, gazemon monitors repeatedly every 5 minutes. This causes a poll
from these monitors which has to be avoided.
QXCR1001093716
This defect is fixed in the current release. Store the PID of the monitors in the provider and
register only when the PID changes that is when monitor has restarted.
In the previous release, the DASProvider used to crash while enabling/disabling. This was
due to the implementation of xml parser in SCSI decode which was incorrect. This led to the
scope issue with the XML parser code.
QXCR1001085108
This defect is fixed in the current release by resolving the scope issue.
In the previous release, the memory leak is seen in
DiskPollerJob.cpp:performPolling() function. Delete in two return paths were
missing for a variable allocated on heap.
QXCR1001124484
This defect is fixed in the current release. Changes are made to delete the variable in these
two return paths.
In the previous release, the HPUXStorageIndicationProviderModule data had junk
values at the end in evweb o/p under "Error Details/Component Data".
QXCR1001053727
This defect is fixed in the current release. Void Pointer is passed to the EMS API which fills the
"Error Details/Component Data".
In the previous release, core file generated by cimprovagt, program terminated with signal
11, resulting in segmentation fault.
QXCR1001051369
This defect is fixed in the current release.
Known Problems, Workarounds, Limitations
The following known problems are for the current release:
• The HPUXStorageNativeProviderModule dumps core on BL870c i2 platform during the
system shutdown. However, this problem does not impact the functionality of the provider
module.
• An event gets generated when disks are removed/inserted into a system. The problem will
be fixed in the next release.
• The HPUXStorageNativeProviderModule is not able to retrieve the 'serial number' of the
inserted disk due to failure of SCSI command with DEVICE_NOT_READY error. The problem
will be fixed in the next release.
• After updating a system from HP-UX 11i Base OE B.11.31.1009 (September 2010) to HP-UX
11i Base OE B.11.31.1103 (March 2011) using update-ux(1M), the
WBEMP-Storage.STORAGE-PROV-RUN fileset was not configured. Trying to configure the
fileset using swconfig (1M) also failed.
The following is seen in the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log file:
* Running "configure" script for fileset
"WBEMP-Storage.STORAGE-PROV-RUN".
