Installation Instructions - HP P2000 Release Note

◦ map and unmap commands: If the host parameter is incorrectly entered in double quotation
marks, the quotation marks will now be ignored.
◦ delete snapshot command: The delete-rolloff-snapshot parameter was removed.
Use the delete-volume-copy-snapshot parameter instead.
delete snapshot command: If this command is run with the cleanup,
◦
delete-priority standard-snapshot, and force parameters specified, the snapshot
and snappool will now be deleted as expected, including that the Master Volume is converted
to a Standard Volume.
clear disk-metadata command: Corrected online help to show that the parameter is
◦
disk-metadata, not disk metadata, which implied that disk was a valid parameter.
◦ Removed a possibility of unauthorized access to the CLI.
reset controller-statistics command: Disk and host port statistics have been
◦
separated from controller statistics, to improve accuracy of rates.
Important firmware notes
If you intend to use Windows Dynamic Disk (software RAID) on top of your hardware RAID there
are some cautions to be considered. For more information, see the section "Real World: Dynamic
versus Basic Disks" in the topic at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163558.aspx.
Failover and failback times are affected by the number of system volumes; the more volumes there
are on the system, the more time is required for failover and failback to complete.
When changing a replication set (for example, adding or removing a replication volume, or
deleting the replication set), do so from the source system; when aborting, suspending or resuming
a replication, do so from the destination system.
When changing the external-view volume of a replication set, do so from the destination system
first, then perform the change on the source system.
MSA70 disk enclosures are supported for use with P2000 G3 arrays running TS230 or later
firmware, but must have firmware 2.28 installed. For more information on MSA70 firmware
compatibility with different P2000 G3 array firmware versions, see the QuickSpecs for the MSA70
or P2000 G3, or see the HP 60/70 Modular Smart Array Enclosure Firmware 2.28 Release
Notes.
