Issue: USB CLI becomes unusable after a Management Controller reboot in Windows environments.
Workaround:
1.
Close down the terminal application. (Example: HyperTerminal)
2.
Open Device Manager and disable the "Disk Array USB Port" under Ports (COM & LPT).
3.
Re-enable the "Disk Array USB Port". If the problem persists, reboot the host.
Issue: The mini-USB CLI port on the array controller does not work.
Workaround: Install a device driver for the mini-USB CLI port. This driver is packaged as a Smart Component
and is available for download on the P2000 G3 support page.
Issue: When using SMI-S, only partial support is provided for iSCSI Target Ports Subprofile.
Workaround: None.
Issue: When using SMI-S, the ExtentStatus property in StorageVolume is always set to "2".
Workaround: None.
Issue: There is no indication that a LUN has failed over to the other controller.
Workaround: Using the Storage Manage Utility (SMU), open up system events and scan for failover events.
When using the CLI, use the show events command.
Issue: When accessing the Command Line Interface (CLI), output from commands scroll by with no option to
page through the output.
Workaround: Change the window height or scrollback value of the command window to a larger value and
use the scroll bar on the command window to scroll through the CLI output.
Issue: A flurry of old events from the array are sent via email or SNMP, even though they have previously
been sent.
Workaround: Check the events on the system to determine if any action is necessary. The flurry itself is innocuous
and can safely be ignored. If this continues, consider clearing the events on the array, which would alleviate
the number of events sent.
Issue: Logging into the CLI with the credentials of a user other than a built-in user (that is, a user that has been
added to the array), generates the error message: login: can't chdir to home directory ''
Workaround: Logout, wait a few seconds, and try again. If this continues, login as the manage user, restart
the MC, and try again as the added user.
Issue: On rare occasions, deleting a vdisk when volumes are in the process of rolling back may cause
communications issues between the management controller and the storage controller.
Workaround: Cycle power on the array to resolve the issue. To avoid this situation, allow the rollbacks to
complete or delete the volumes before deleting the vdisk.
Issue: Scheduled tasks are not occurring, and there is no indication of a problem in the schedules or the tasks.
Workaround: Restart both management controllers (MC) of the array(s) involved in the tasks.
Issue: Cannot schedule volume copy operations, or scheduled volume copy operations for snapshots and
standard volumes do not occur.
Workaround: Perform the volume copy manually. Scheduled volume copies of master volumes should complete
successfully, if the schedule permits completion of the volume copy before the next occurrence.
Issue: A P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA System LUN which has been newly added to a Citrix XenServer 5.6 pool may
not return to an active Storage Repository (SR) state following removal or replacement of an array controller.
Workaround: To recover to an active Storage Repository state, restart the iSCSI session by executing the
following command: /etc/init.d/open-iscsi restart
