DescriptionDefect ID
Defects fixed in version B.11.31.0909.01
In the previous release, the getwbemstatus function in the XML page uses the
class HP_DiskDrive to get the consolidated status of the disks, but the consolidated
status is provided by the classHP_DiskCollection.
In the current release, this defect is fixed and the XML page is modified to get the
consolidated status from the class HP_DiskCollection. Appropriate status is
displayed on the SMH page.
QXCR1000896835
In the previous release, a file named diskaldata is created in the root directory
of a system when the DAS provider is started. The file size is negligible and users
QXCR1000893566
can ignore the occurrence of the file. This file can be deleted, but the file may
reappear.
In the current release, this defect is fixed and the file diskaldata is not created
in the root directory of the system.
In the previous release, a core file is created randomly in the var/opt/wbem
directory. Occurrence of this file does not affect normal working of the product.
In the current release, this defect is fixed and the core file is not created in the var/
opt/wbem directory.
QXCR1000894271
Defects fixed in version B.11.31.0909.02
In the previous release, when an application requests thread creation on a system
on which DAS provider is running, the request is not processed if the provider has
QXCR1000938587
created threads beyond the threshold value set on the system. Due to this, warning
messages are logged in the system log file as the DAS provider thread spawns
over a period of time.
In the current release, this defect is fixed and warning messages are not logged in
the system log file as the DAS provider thread does not spawn over a period
of time.
In the previous release, the status of LUNs in the SMH page are displayed as
degraded even when the status of LUNs are not degraded.
In the current release, this defect is fixed and the LUN status is displayed
appropriately in the SMH page.
QXCR1000958375
Defect fix in version B.11.31.1003.01
DAS provider reports information only for disks attached in the system. When
enumerateInstance method is invoked on HP_DiskDrive class on a system
that does not have any disks attached, the following error message is displayed:
QXCR1000952059
CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND: Information on direct attached disks could not be retrieved.
The provider will not report or monitor any disks.
This error message is misleading and implies a fault condition where none exists.
In the current release, the error message is made clear and states the following:
CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND: No direct attached disks could be found on the system.
The provider will not report or monitor any disks.
Defects fixed in version B.11.31.1004
In the previous release, events generated by all I/O indication providers were
logged in DAS provider database DISKPROVDB, available at the location:/opt/
psb/db/pgsql/bin/psql
