Known Issues

Director Properties Description May Be Incorrect

The text shown in the Description field of the Director Properties panel for the
Director 2/140 may be incorrect. It may show SAN Director 64. This has no
effect on the operation of the Director 2/140. This is a user-configurable
description for the director, and may be changed to whatever you want by
choosing Configure > Identification using HAFM, or by choosing Configure >
Director > Identification using the Embedded Web Server interface.

IML Is Required After Performing a Configuration Reset

If a Reset Configuration is performed on a Director 2/140 to reset the director to
factory configuration, an initial machine load (IML) is required to be performed to
complete the process. This is done by pressing the white button on the front of
either CTP card for more than three seconds. This can also be accomplished by
turning the power to the Director 2/140 off, and then back on.

HP-UX - Potential Conflict Between Command View and ioscan

There is an issue involving a conflict between the Command View host agent and
the UNIX command ioscan. When this conflict is encountered, ioscan may
erroneously report that storage LUNs have been lost (ioscan output results in
report of "NO_HW"). There is no actual impact on any of the servers, storage, or
any fibre channel data transfers. When encountered, re-running ioscan after a
short time will yield correct results.
The OpenView Storage Area Manager (OVSAM) Command View Host agent on
HP-UX has a discovery agent (diald) which periodically checks the system for
new I/O devices including HBAs. The default polling cycle is 19 minutes but is
user configurable from 1 minute to 24 hours. The Command View products use
this host agent component for discovery of XP and VA arrays.
