Fixes P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4.1 includes the following fixes: • Performance Advisor GUI accepts multiple e-mail addresses for Test SMTP and Alarm related e-mails from the configuration alarm screen. • Serious alarms and good information alarms are functional. • Alarm triggers after editing or updating the alarms. • Updated changes for alarms are seen in alarm history. • The log file PA_PATCH.log for the v5.4.1 patch is located in the temp folder.
Current Status: This will be fixed in the subsequent release. • Real-time charts and historical charts cannot be plotted simultaneously, as the plotting of real-time data stops when the plotting of historical data is in progress. In such a case, the following error message appears on the Charts screen: The selected component may no longer be connected to the array or does not have any activity happening currently. Please verify if the selected component is currently active.
• For XP/P9500 disk arrays with concatenated parity groups, you might notice 4D+4D RAID type instead of two 2D+2D concatenated parity groups in the Performance Estimator screen. Current Status: Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4.1 release date. • While charting backend transfer metrics for DKCs or ACPs with concatenated RAID groups, you might observe that the total write tracks do not match the sum of the individual DKC or ACP metrics.
• The P9000Watch Linux x86_64 binary is meant only for RHEL 6.1 x86_64. For all other Linux x86_64 distributions, use P9000Watch Linux binary. Current Status: Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4.1 release date. • If Apex controller is already installed, then stop the Apex controller service before installing or upgrading P9000 Performance Advisor HA. Current Status: Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4.1 release date.
• If you configure an alarm with multiple email addresses using a previous version of P9000 Performance Advisor, and later you upgrade to P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4, the Alarm screen displays the previously configured email addresses but does not allow you to edit the alarm. However, the email is sent to all the email addresses configured using P9000 Performance Advisor.
