The Search dialog box, the Create Logical Group dialog box, and the Edit Logical
Group dialog box
When using the Search dialog box, the Create Logical Group dialog box, or the Edit Logical Group
dialog box, sometimes the filter conditions cannot be saved, and the following problems occur:
• The KAIC03016-E message is displayed, and the search conditions in the Search dialog box
cannot be saved.
• The KAIC15156-E message is displayed, and logical groups cannot be created in the Create
Logical Group dialog box.
• The KAIC16993-E message is displayed, and logical groups in the Edit Logical Group dialog
box cannot be edited.
If an error occurs, shorten the character length of the filter condition.
If you want to save a filter condition that uses two-byte characters in the name, enter the two-byte
characters (no more than 16 characters) in the Edit Storage Systems dialog box or the
ModifyStorageArray command.
The ImportHosts command in the Device Manager CLI
If the total number of volumes visible from the WWN of all hosts is large
1
, and the ImportHosts
command is executed by specifying WWN from the Device Manager CLI, the Device Manager server
might run out of memory
2
. In this case, one of the following symptoms occurs:
Symptom 1:
The Device Manager server stops.
Symptom 2:
Volumes of hosts that are added by executing ImportHosts do not appear in the volume list in the
GUI.
1
The total is number of volumes is considered to be large when the volumes visible from the WWN
specified by the ImportHosts command exceeds 128,000.
2
If the Device Manager server runs out of memory, "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java
heap space" appears in the error.log
3
file for Device Manager.
3
The error log is in one of the following locations, depending on the operating system on which Device
Manager is running.
In Windows:
<Device-Manager-server-installation-folder>\Server\logs\error.log
In Linux and Solaris:
<Device-Manager-server-installation-folder>/Server/logs/error.log
Restart all HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite products that are running. Then
execute the ImportHosts command multiple times, specifying only some of the WWNs each time
you execute the command.
