HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 Manual page 113

Restriction
Some Vixel Rapport 2000 FC hubs have
displayed problems using controllers with
firmware version 4.00.x as redundant devices.
Problems include loss of data integrity,
system instability, and disrupted loop activity.
After pulling all drives from a Storage Array,
the storage management software prompts
you for a password when you start the
software or when you perform protected
operations. Any password you enter fails.
If you use Volume Migration, all drives being
added to a Storage Array must be Optimal
status, or you will lose access to your data.
Also, all drives being added to the Storage
Array must be unassigned.
Volume Migration is when you remove a set of
drives configured with volumes from one
Storage Array and insert them into another
Storage Array.
Any Windows workstation attempting to use
the HP Storage Manager 60 software without
the TCP/IP Protocol software installed is not
supported.
Workaround
Contact your customer support representative
for assistance with identifying the particular
models of Vixel Rapport 2000 FC hubs that are
not recommended when your system must
operate in a controller or I/O path fault-tolerant
environment.
Password information is stored on a reserved
area of each drive on the Storage Array. Each
drive stores a mirrored copy of the password
data. With no drives in the Storage Array, the
storage management software does not find the
password data when you attempt password-
protected operations. Add one of the drives to
the Storage Array and try the operation again.
Before attempting Volume Migration, make sure
that all drives that are being added to the
Storage Array are Optimal and unassigned.
Install the TCP/IP Protocol software on the
Windows workstation and assign the workstation
a static IP address.
