Fixes The following issues were resolved in 8.0.
• If you display the tiered THP Pool list for XP P9500 in the Mobility tab, THP Pools for which you do not have View permission are displayed. • In the Create THP Pool window, when you selected Smart for the pool type without first selecting a resource group, the incorrect message KAIC15232-E was displayed. • If the search condition category was set to "Security" and you used a saved search condition, the message KAIC15000-E appears, and the search cannot be performed.
Operations for storage systems while data collection tasks are executing If an operation is performed for a storage system that is the target of any of the following tasks, an unexpected error might occur: • Add Storage Systems • Refresh Storage Systems • Update Database (Auto) If an unexpected error occurs, check the task list to make sure that none of the preceding tasks is being executed.
If you perform an operation to refresh hosts or a copy pair operation on such a configuration, the operation might generate one of the following error codes: • KAIC90083-E (error code = 7757) An error was detected in the host agent. (error details = "An unexpected error occurred during acquisition of configuration definition file information. (error code = 6108)") • KAIC90083-E (error code = 7774) An attempt to create a pair failed.
If you then click the Show Plan button, the following information displayed for Plan Summary in the Create Pool window becomes invalid. • The percentages are not displayed for Used Threshold 1 and Used Threshold 2. • NoData is displayed for the Parity Group Information in the Plan Details.
Filtering by capacity or time When the equal sign operator (=) is used to filter by capacity or time, you might not be able to filter the results even if a value displayed in the list is used.
The value displayed for High Availability Manager In Device Manager, High Availability Manager (HAM) pair information is displayed as follows: • In the Device Manager GUI, the copy type of a HAM pair primary or secondary volume is displayed as "True Copy Sync". • In the Device Manager CLI, the pair information is displayed as "True Copy Sync" for replicationFunction for a ReplicationGroup instance or ReplicationInfo instance.

Incorrect values for the Internal Storage Parity Groups column on the External Volumes tab If one of the following conditions is met, incorrect values for the Internal Storage Parity Groups column might be displayed on the External Volumes tab in the External Storage Systems window: • One external volume is mapped to an external parity group of multiple internal storage systems.
Externally connected volume GUI indication If you externally connect a volume that is already connected to externally to other storage systems, the information for the volume will not appear in the Device Manager GUI. The following example shows that the information about volume 2 does not appear in the Device Manager GUI, thus becomes inoperable. The information for volumes 1 and 3 will appear. • The volume 1 from storage system 1 is assigned to the storage system 2 as volume 2.
The Plan Confirmation window for unvirtualized volumes When you transition from the Unvirtualize Volumes dialog box to the Plan Confirmation window, the target parity group might not be displayed if there are already volumes that were unvirtualized . This issue does not occur if the storage system was refreshed to display the latest updated information. Discovering volumes for virtualization If there are many external volumes that are candidates for virtualization, volume discovery might take a long time.
If this issue occurs repeatedly, create a new Windows user account, and then use the new user account to operate the browser. Storage device virtualization tasks If a storage device virtualization task does not complete, volumes of an external storage system may remain allocated to an internal storage system. If you execute another storage device virtualization task for the allocated volumes, the attempt generates the error KAIC15001-E.
Using the Device Manager CLI: 1. Create a host group on the external storage port. 2. In the created host group, register the WWNs of the internal storage ports to be used to virtualize storage devices. Using Element Manager: 1. Create a host group on the external storage port. 2. In the created host group, register the WWNs of the internal storage ports to be used to virtualize storage devices. 3. Refresh the external storage systems by using the Device Manager GUI or CLI.
Adding storage system and launching Element Manager by using a host name (FQDN) When an FQDN is used to add storage systems or to launch Element Manager, the maximum length of the FQDN is determined by the following environments. • Adding storage system—The operating system of the server machine on which the Device Manager is installed. • Launching Element Manager—The operating system and the browser of the client machine.
