• Issue: An error occurs when a volume group is created using HP SMH.
Description: In the Disks and File Systems application, after filling the mandatory fields in the
Create Volume Group page, the following error message is displayed - Pvcreate :Bad

option, and create the physical volumes without any validation.

Description: The operations, such as Create Cluster VG, Create VG, Extend VG, and Distribute
VG using the Disks and File Systems application fails with the following error message -
Internal Server Error for systems configured with vPars 6.0 having NPIV LUNs. This
error occurs because that the configuration does not support legacy DSFs.
Workaround: This problem currently does not have any known workaround. The problem is
planned to be resolved in a future release of HP SMH.

report the correct value for the tunable ninode. However, if the system has VxFS version 5.0
and later, kcalarm and kcusage reports the correct value.
