System Requirements And Dependencies; Known Issues - HP BL860c Cli Manual

the device name mapping might change after you first reboot the system. Also, after
rebooting, Linux might see logical drives that were previously not visible. This name mapping
problem is common to all SCSI devices on Linux.
• Do not insert or remove a controller driver module when hpacucli is running.
• Stop the HP Storage Agents when deleting logical drives since HP Storage Agents keep all
logical drives open.
• If all physical drives on a controller fail or are removed, software keys will not be saved to
the controller.
• HP ACU-CLI may appear unresponsive during heavy array controller I/O conditions, such
as during a partition format or a logical drive rebuild.
• HP ACU-CLI will not disallow the deletion of logical drives on fibre channel controllers
that have mounted partitions.

System Requirements and Dependencies

HP ACU-CLI requires HP Management Base (hpmgmtbase) to be installed on the system. HP
Management Base is a package of tools, scripts, and binaries that ensure proper system
manageability functionality by providing access to the management processor through the Open
IPMI driver.
HP management base packages are distribution-specific and are found in the HP Insight
Foundation Suite for Integrity with Linux product. Download this product from the Open Source
and Linux from HP website:
http://www.hp.com/go/integritylinuxessentials.
HP recommends using the most updated versions of HP supported device drivers for the Smart
Array controllers and Fibre Channel host bus adapters.

Known Issues

This section contains known issues with the HP ACU-CLI product, which undergoes rigorous
testing before each release. From HP test activities to date, the following items have been
uncovered that you should keep in mind.
• Error "[Not FC Transport, discarding (2)]" appears on the sles10sp3/emulex
card.
When launching hpacucli, this error pops up, either hp-fc-enablement lib 1.2-1
or 1.2-2
Workaround: None at this time. This error will not affect functionality.
• SSP presented information is lost after SSP state toggles.
SSP-related information such as unmask or mask is lost after SSP state is changed from off
to on state.
Workaround: None at this time.
• HP ACU-CLI compatibility issue with RHEL5U1.
On HP Integrity servers running RHEL5U1, HP ACU-CLI causes kernel panics when issuing
various hpacucli operations on a SmartArray controller configured with more than one
logical drive. For example, issuing either the show config or ctrl all show status
commands result in a kernel panic. Multiple installed SmartArray controllers, each with a
single logical drive, are not affected. This issue is specific to the RHEL5U1 release and does
not occur with RHEL5.
