HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Release Notes (TK981-96008, May 2014)

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.
• Assign volume 2 to storage system 3 as volume 3.
To confirm the information for the volume 2 and operate it, use the Device Manager CLI instead.
Shredding in the Device Manager GUI
It takes at least five minutes to shred each volume.
Copy pair operation times out waiting for specified status
If a copy pair operation is performed from the CLI, the operation might time out and the following
error codes might be displayed:
• KAIC90083-E (error code: 7783)
• KAIC90083-E (error code: 7756) An error occurred during the processing
of the service by the host agent. The host agent error message is Processing
will now stop because the status of the Fast Snap pair was changed and
is now invalid. The command error message is raidcom: [EX_EWSTOT] Timeout
waiting for specified status.
The copy pair operation will continue to run in the storage system even if the operation ends in an
error. To check the status of the copy pair operation, refresh the storage system, and then execute one
of the following commands to check the pair status:
• GetStorageArray (subtarget=ReplicationInfo)
• GetStorageArray (subtarget=SnapshotGroup
snapshotgrpsubinfo=ReplicationInfo)*
* This command can only be used for Fast Snap copy pairs.
You can check the status and the splitTime of the pair by executing one of the following commands:
• ModifyReplication (operation=split) or ModifyReplication
(operation=resync)
If the pair status is not Split, the pair operation is being performed. Wait a while, refresh the
storage system, and then verify the following:
◦ The pair status is Split.
◦ The value of splitTime is later than the time when the operation was executed.
• ModifyReplication (operation=restore)
If the pair status is Reverse-Copying, the pair is being restored. Wait a while, refresh the storage
system, and then check that the pair status is Split.
Displaying the Associated Internal Parity Group on the External Volumes tab
If volumes on an external storage system are mapped to the internal storage system, a hyphen (-) is
displayed in the Associated Internal Parity Group for the volumes shown on the External Volumes tab.
If this issue occurs, refresh the external storage system.
