Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 (x86, x64, IA64)
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and 1 1 (x86, x64, IA64)
Enhancements
Remote snap operations are now supported on HP 1GbE iSCSI MSA and HP 10GbE iSCSI MSA
System controllers.
Remote snap operations and I/O can be processed simultaneously on HP 1GbE iSCSI MSA and
HP 10GbE iSCSI MSA System controllers.
A new tool was created to check the local system link.
Added support for vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), to offload certain processing
functions from the host to the array, which can greatly enhance performance.
Improved handling of drives that are slow to spin up or are missing by quarantining the vdisk,
rather than taking it offline, and automatically dequarantining the vdisk when sufficient drives
become available.
Fixes
In dual-controller configurations, communications between the controllers has been improved to
prevent the controllers from becoming unresponsive and requiring that they be re-seated (removed
and reinstalled) to reactivate them.
Removed a situation that caused a controller to become unresponsive.
If parity errors are found during a RAID 50 vdisk scrub, a verify will now be automatically started.
Changed the reporting of a Compact Flash failure. It will now be reported as an Error event, not
an Informational event.
In SMI-S environments, creating a subscription using the HP SIM client will now work as expected.
CIM_ObjectManager and CIM_Namespace class instances will now return only the properties
requested.
HP P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA Systems will no longer provide FCTargetPorts registered profile instances.
Added hostname and namespace details to the value of AlertingManagedElement property of
CIM_AlertIndication instances.
There was a value mismatch between CIM_StorageSetting and CIM_StorageCapabilities classes.
There was an association issue between the classes CIM_ConcreteExtent and CIM_ConcretePool.
Improved the response time for associators related CIM operations.
There was an invalid CIM_ProtocolControllerForUnit association between Volume and iSCSI
ProtocolController instances.
When using SMI-S, values for key properties of the Indication Profile will no longer be empty.
When using SMI-S in HP-UX environments, the ElementSettingData association will now work as
expected.
Added RAID value in the pool capabilities class instance.
All time zones are now supported.
Corrected disk quarantine behavior so that, when a system is power cycled, invalid Leftover drives
will not be detected as Leftover or considered as valid vdisk members.
Improved firmware updating logic to ensure that the Expander Controller (EC) is updated as
expected.
HP brand and naming is now properly displayed.
