Known problems, workarounds, and limitations

The following known problems are for the current release:

• Problem: There are no email alerts for the subscription.

Description: User do not receive email alerts for existing and new email subscriptions due to

database authorization issue in September 2011 release.

Workaround: There is no workaround for this problem.

Following are the limitations of the LAN provider:

• LAN is a read-only provider and hence does not allow users to modify, create, or delete

instances.

• In LANInstanceProvider a new error has been introduced. If during instance

(enumerateInstance/getInstance/enumearateInstanceNames)request the

provider is busy retrieving the properties of CIMInstance classes then it will report an error

called CIM_ERR_FAILED: enumerateInstances:: Internal error occurred while building the LAN

inventory.

• When LANInstanceProvider gets disabled and enabled manually (cimprovider -dm/-em)

then after getting enabled, for the first instance request the following error can be seen.

CIM_ERR_FAILED: enumerateInstances:: Internal error occurred while building the LAN inventory

When LANIndicationProvider is running, any instance request issued in 10 minutes (maximum)

after the LANInstanceProvider gets enabled will not report the above mentioned error.

When LANIndicationProvider is not running, only the first instance request will fail with the

above mentioned error. The subsequent instance requests will pass without any fail.

• If the LANInstanceProvider on the HPVM 6.1 guest is disabled, the HPVM 6.1 host (VSP) shows

the guest related information for a maximum 70 minutes. After that instance request on host

will not show the guest owned DIO functions until maximum of 60 minutes after the provider

gets enabled again.

• If the HPVM 6.1 guest system is shutdown then the guest DIO function might be seen in the

instance request output for a maximum time of 10 minutes. After that no DIO functions for the

turned off guest will be seen for that guest until the guest is not turned on again.

• The LANIndication provider in its event details related to DIO functions displays system name

up to a maximum of 64 characters for HPVM 6.1 guest systems. Longer hostnames for the

guest will be truncated to 64 characters.
