System Installation And Recovery - HP X1600 - StorageWorks Network Storage System 5.4TB SAS Model NAS Server Release Notes

Issue: The iSCSI Initiator is sometimes unable to connect properly to the iSCSI Target
When Windows Storage Server 2008 Standard Edition is restarted, the iSCSI Initiator is sometimes unable
to connect properly to the iSCSI Target. The iSCSI Initiator persistent targets connections indicate a reconnecting
status.
Workaound: Manually enable the connections using iSCSI Initiator:
1. In the iSCSI Initiator user interface, select the Targets tab.
2. For the inactive target, click Log on.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Set the Local adapter to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
5. Set the Source IP to the appropriate IPv4 or IPv6 address.
6. Click OK.
7. Select the Discovery tab.
8. Click Add Portal.
9. Click Advanced.
10. Set the Local adapter to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
11. Set the Source IP to the appropriate IPv4 or IPv6 address.
12. Click OK.
13. Set the IP or DNS name for the iSCSI Target.
14. Click OK.
Issue: The links in the right panel of the Share and Storage Management snap-in do not function properly
In Server Manager under Share and Folder Management there is a provision provided on the right panel to
Manage Open Files. The wizard displays open files under Open Mode with a Read status instead of Read/Write
or Write.
Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. This issue may be resolved by Microsoft in a future
release.
Issue: The HP Smart Array P411 controller does not allow a LUN extend operation and the VDS provider fails
Because the controller's cache status is set to disabled, the Array Configuration Utility does not display the
extend option. This generally occurs if the Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC) is not available or enabled.
Enabling BBWC is required for array expansion / LUN extension features.
Workaround: Set the controller's cache status to enabled.

System installation and recovery

This section describes issues related to the system installation and recovery process.
Issue: Windows Error Reporting indicates that an Emulex FC card driver is not found during storage system
installation
Workaround: The error message can be ignored. The driver is loaded and functional in the Operating System
after initial log in to the storage system. The issue is detected by Windows Error Reporting before the driver
is actually installed on the system.
