Documentation

Version: 8.0.2

This document describes the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA 8.0.2 enhancements, fixes, limitations, workarounds, installation and removal instructions.

HP StorageWorks Command View EVA 8.0.2 software suite has the following components:

  • HP StorageWorks Command View EVA 8.0.2

  • HP StorageWorks Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2

  • HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility 8.0.2

  • Storage Management Initiative Specification for Enterprise Virtual Array (SMI-S EVA) 8.0.2

All HP Command View EVA 8.0 documents and the online help are relevant to HP Command View EVA 8.0.2, although they may not be labeled with version 8.0.2. The information contained in this document is the latest information for HP Command View EVA.

Update recommendation: Recommended

HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 can be installed on a management server only if HP Command View EVA 8.0 or HP Command View EVA 8.0.1 is already installed.

HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 includes the following fixes:

  • Additional host ports can be successfully added to a host.

  • When viewing the host port properties of an EVA4400, the port speed and world wide name (WWN) of the host port will appear if an embedded switch is present.

  • The name of the EVA reverts back to its original name from <WWN>-Slave Only when the master controller path is restored.

  • The mpx100/100b is now connected to the HP EVA storage system as a Microsoft Windows 2008 host.

  • Resolved an issue where single sign-on connection failure was encountered by client applications after 24.86 days of server reboot.

  • DR groups can now be created in asynchronous mode across firmware versions VCS 3.110, VCS 4.100 and XCS 5.1xx.

HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 includes the following workarounds.

Symptom: When the password is set for an EVA4400 storage system through the web-based operator control panel (WOCP) or for all other supported EVA storage systems through the operator control panel (OCP), and the EVA storage systems are connected to HP Command View EVA for the first time, HP Command View EVA does not notify the user that the EVA is password protected. It displays the following message:

Storage System Not Responding

Solution:

Before connecting an array to HP Command View EVA for the first time, clear the management server password. To clear the management server password (using the WOCP on the EVA4400):

  1. On the Administrator Login Options screen, leave the Password and Confirm password fields blank.

  2. Click .

For instructions on clearing the array password using the OCP, see the HP StorageWorks 4x00/6x00/8x00 Enterprise Virtual Array user guide. The user guide is located on the Manuals page of the HP Business Support Center website:

In the Storage section, click Disk Storage Systems and then select HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Arrays under EVA Disk Arrays.

Symptom: After installing HP Command View EVA 8.x/7.0.1, if you change the server name or the server setting from a local/workgroup system to a domain member/controller system or vice-versa, then subsequent login fails with insufficient privileges.

Solution: Reinstall HP Command View EVA 8.x/7.0.1 and configure the local/domain settings accordingly during installation.

To disable the IPv4 address scheme on the management port of the MPX100 server, set the static IPv4 address to 0.0.0.0.

Removing HP Command View EVA 8.0 installed on a drive other than C:

To remove the HP Command View EVA software suite when it is installed on a drive other than C:, install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later on the management server.

To install Java Runtime Environment:

  1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

  2. Download Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 6.

  3. Select the platform as Windows (for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems).

  4. Accept the license agreement, and click.

  5. Select Windows Offline Installation (jre-6u6-windows-i586-p.exe) to download the JRE install file.

This section identifies important additional information.

  • If you are using IPv6, note that IP addresses in IPv6 generally have a different format than in IPv4. IPv6 addresses are typically shown in eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons; for example, 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7334. IPv4 IP addresses are normally shown in decimal notation, separated by dots (periods). For example: 192.0.2.235.

    Also, in IPv6, IP addresses with port numbers must be enclosed in brackets to avoid confusion with port numbers, for example https://[2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344]:2372/. Note that IPv4 does not use brackets.

  • Internet Explorer 7.0 or FireFox browser is required to access HP Command View EVA using IPv6 address.

  • If IPv4 and IPv6 are installed on a single system, then by default HP Command View EVA starts on the IPv4 address. If you want to start HP Command View EVA on a specific address, then you must add the address entry under the webserver section of the cveva.cfg configuration file.

    For example, to start HP Command View EVA on IPv6, enter address 0::0 under the webserver section of cveva.cfg.

  • Using the IPv6 link local address to run the management server can result in connectivity issues.

  • If IPv4 is disabled and IPv6 is already enabled on the management server, HP Command View EVA is accessible on all the IPv6 addresses that are configured for the management server.

  • If IPv6 and IPv4 coexist on the same system and IPv6 is disabled, IPv6 is still polled before connecting to IPv4 address.

  • At any given point, the management server is available only on IPv4 or IPv6 address.

NOTE: HP Command View EVAPerf has the same behavior with IPv6 as HP Command View EVA. To start HP Command View EVAPerf on a specific IPv6 address, you must add the evapdcs.address entry in the evaperf.conf file and specify the address.

HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 has the following limitations:

  • If you use HP Command View EVA 8.0 to view an array managed by HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 that was started on a system running IPv6 address, then the managing server IP address is displayed as 0.0.0.0. However, if the array is viewed from another management server running HP Command View EVA 8.0.2, then the managing server IP address is displayed properly.

  • If a host is created in HP Command View EVA 8.0.2, the IP address property field of the host is not displayed in the correct format when viewed from HP Command View EVA 8.0 or earlier.

  • The auto discovery option is not supported for IPv6 enabled management port controllers (ISCSI controller). Use the “Add iSCSI Controller” option to enable support for IPv6 configurations.

  • If a remote array is not available to a DR group, you cannot change the preferred path of the DR group member through HP Command View EVA.

  • The DR group remote node orphans continue to display in HP Command View EVA when the EVAs are zoned away or upgraded from one EVA model to another.

HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 includes the following fixes:

  • The EVAPerf fn command works properly with large configurations.

  • Displays the complete friendly names of virtual disks, including any spaces included in the names.

HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 includes the following workarounds:

Using Windows Performance Monitor on an x64 platform

Symptom: On an x64 (64–bit) platform, Windows Performance Monitor does not provide HP Command View EVAPerf data directly.

Solution: Start Windows Performance Monitor using either of the below mentioned modes:

This enables interactive viewing of HP Command View EVAPerf data, but collecting a performance trace file is not possible in this mode.

Symptom: When HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0 client queries HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 server or vice versa, the hps command does not return metrics.

Solution: Execute the query between HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 server and HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 client.

NOTE: On an x64 operating system, HP Command View EVAPerf creates a backup of the existing evadata.mdb file and a new evadata.mdb file is created. You must manually access the previous database file if you want to view the previous data. However, on an x86 operating system, the evadata.mdb file is upgraded to show the new fields and tables, and the existing data is not affected.

HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 has the following limitation:

  • The drt command does not show accurate values for free command resources and free write resources for XCS 0900xxxx.

.HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility

This section describes HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility (called the utility) 8.0.2 fixes, limitations and other additional information.

IMPORTANT: HP Storage Systems Scripting Utility 8.0.2 is only applicable to supported versions of Microsoft Windows.

HP Storage System Scripting Utility 8.0.2 includes the following fixes:

  • DR groups can now be created in asynchronous mode.

  • The CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command works properly for arrays running controller software versions earlier than XCS 6.200 and for configurations containing DR groups.

  • The LS VDISK FULL command continues to retrieve the properties of virtual disks even if there are errors present in some of the virtual disk objects.

  • The CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command works properly when an iSCSI controller is in the configuration.

  • If you use HP Storage System Scripting Utility 8.0 to view an array managed by HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 that was started on a system running IPv6 address, then the managing server IP address is displayed as 0.0.0.0. However, if the array is viewed from another management server running HP Storage System Scripting Utility 8.0.2, then the managing server IP address is displayed properly.

  • If a host is created in HP Command View EVA 8.0.2, the IP address property field of the host is not in the correct format when viewed from a management server running HP Command View EVA 8.0 or earlier versions.

  • Improper and inconsistent error messages are seen when you perform the following operations using the SET MULTIMIRROR command:

    • Fracturing a mirrorclone that is already fractured

    • Resynchronizing a mirrorclone that has already been resynchronized

    • Detaching a mirrorclone that has already been detached

  • If you use the CODELOAD DISK command to upgrade firmware on multiple disk drives, an error is not displayed for disks configured with VRaid 0.

  • On an OpenVMS IA64 host, the CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command fails if you have a '/' or ' character in the comment field for objects such as disk groups, virtual groups and so on.

SMI-S is an industry standard developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). You can access the SNIA website at: http://www.snia.org

SMI-S enables CIM-capable management software to manage HP StorageWorks EVA arrays.

SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 is SMI-S 1.2 compliant; SMI-S 1.2 is based on the Common Information Model (CIM) 2.13.1 specification.

HP SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 includes the following enhancements:

  • Introduced two new APIs — FindVolumeByWWN and RefreshObjectFromArray in the CIM class HPEVA_StorageConfigurationService. These APIs enable selective refresh of objects from the array.

    NOTE: RefreshObjectFromArray can refresh only HPEVA_StorageSystem, HPEVA_StorageVolume and HEPVA_StoragePool instances.

  • Introduced a method CreateOrModifyStoragePoolWithSettings in the class HPEVA_StorageConfigurationService. This method is used to create a storage pool by specifying the disk type, protection level, and occupancy alarm thresholds.

  • Added a new association (HPEVA_DiskDriveProtocolController : CIM_ProtocolControllerAccessesUnit) between the HPEVA_DiskPortSCSIProtocolController and HPEVA_DiskDrive. This association is used to obtain the controllers associated with each disk drive.

  • Implemented a subset of the Block Server Performance sub profile. This provides performance statistics for the following with the help of the HP Command View EVAPerf interface:

    • Storage system

    • Storage volume

    • Host and disk ports

    • Controller and physical disks

  • Added a new association (HPEVA_StoragePoolDiskGroupComponent : CIM_ConcreteComponent) between the HPEVA_StoragePool and HPEVA_DiskGroupExtent. This association is used to associate the storage pools with their disk extents.

  • The SMI-S EVA provider cache information can be updated using the CLIRefreshTool.bat file. For more information, see CLIRefreshTool.

  • Log and configuration files required for debugging can be archived using the CollectLogs tool. For more information, see CollectLogs tool.

  • Log levels can be set using the dynamic log level setting tool. For more information, see Dynamic log level setting tool.

  • The SMI-S EVA provider cache refresh status can now be obtained using the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool. For more information, see GetArrayRefreshStatus tool.

HP StorageWorks SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 includes the following fixes:

  • The volume deletion operation (ReturnToStoragePool) is converted to an asynchronous call. The status of the operation can be obtained through the returned JOB handle.

  • The property ManagementStation of the CIM classHPEVA_StorageSystem holds the IP address of the HP Command View EVA server that manages the EVA storage array.

  • The GetSupportedSizeRange function returns an error code 1 (CIM_ERR_FAILED) when an invalid parameter is passed as an input.

  • Modified the HPEVA_ElementConformsToProfile association to also include the passively managed arrays.

  • The value of the property RemainingManagedSpace in the HPEVA_StoragePool class is now accurate.

  • Added a vendor specific return code 4098 (Volume creation failed as the volume name specified already exists) to the method CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool to indicate failure of volume creation.

  • Added the following vendor specific return codes to the method DeleteStoragePool in the HPEVA_StorageConfigurationService class:

    • 4097 (Pool contains volumes and so pool deletion failed)

    • 4098 (Deletion of primordial pool failed)

This section identifies important additional information.

This tool provides a CLI interface to update cache data.

NOTE:

  • If changes are made to any objects that are connected between two storage systems, for example, changes in DR groups, you will need to refresh each of the storage systems.

  • The time required for a cache update depends on the array’s size.

To update cache information:

  1. Open a command prompt window.

  2. Set the path to the specified directory: Installed Path>Hewlett-packardSMISCXWSCimombin

  3. Run the command: CLIRefreshTool.bat

  4. When prompted, enter the host IP, username, and password, and select the array for which updated data is required.

Example:

C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimombin> CLIRefreshTool.bat

Enter the internet address of the host in the format- http://HOSTNAME: http://localhost

Enter the username: SMI-S UserName

Enter the pasword: SMI-S Password

NameSpace: /root/eva/

Sample output

SELECT A STORAGE SYSTEM
(1)---> NEO
(0)---> EXIT

Enter your choice: 1
Choice entered: 1
Refreshing: NEO
Refresh of the Storage System: NEO started
Refresh of the Storage System: NEO is complete

This tool facilitates changing the log levels of both the CIMOM and SMI-S provider without the need to restart the SMI-S service.

  • The log levels are: ALL/DEBUG/ERROR/INFO/WARN/OFF

  • Log levels are case sensitive. Ensure that you provide the desired log level in uppercase only.

  • After you change the log level, it may take a few minutes for the changes to take effect.

To change the log level:

  1. Open a command prompt window.

  2. Set the path to the specified directory: Installed PathHewlett-packardSMISCXWSCimombin

  3. Run the command: cscript Set_LogLevel.vbs <Log Level>

    After you execute the script, the CIMOM and SMI-S provider log level is set to the desired log level. The following message is displayed:
    Log Level Set to: <Log Level>

Example:

C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimombin>cscript Set_LogLevel.vbs ALL

Output:

Log Level Set to : ALL

This tool facilitates archiving all log and configuration files required for debugging to a specified temporary folder.

To archive files:

  1. Open a command prompt window.

  2. Set the path to the specified location: Installed PathHewlett-packardSMISCXWSCimombin

  3. Run the command: cscript CollectLogs.vbs

    After you execute the script, the following message is displayed:

This tool is used to obtain values for the following:

  • Cache initialization state

  • Refresh status

  • Cache refresh completion

NOTE: The HPEVA_ArrayRefreshStatus class considers only the EVAs that are in good state for refresh percentage calculation.

To obtain values:

  1. Open a command prompt window.

  2. Set the path to the specified location: Installed PathHewlett-packardSMISCXWSCimombin.

  3. Run the command: GetArrayRefreshStatus.bat <SMI-S Username> <SMI-S Password>.

5EVA state not good.

HP SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 includes the following workaround.

Symptom: When IPv6 is enabled and IPv4 is disabled on a Windows system, the SMI-S provider displays an error.

Solution: Do one of the following:

  • Option 1

    1. Add the line: java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true in the file C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimomconfigcxws.properties.

    2. Restart the SMI-S CIMOM service.

  • Option 2

    1. Append a flag —Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true in C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimomconfigCxwsCimomService.cfg for the property JAVA_OPTIONS.

    2. Restart the SMI-S EVA service.

HP StorageWorks SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 has the following limitations:

  • The GetSupportedSizeRange method calculates the minimum and maximum pool sizes based on the protection level of 'none'. If these size ranges are used to create a pool with a protection level of 'single' or 'double', the size of the resulting pool may not match the exact specified size provided while creating the pool.

  • The FindStorageVolumeByWWN method should not be used with the volume type as Container.

  • When a volume is in deletion_in_ progress state, a getInstance/EnumerateInstances query to the class HPEVA_StorageVolume may result in null/unknown values or even zero (in the case of numbers) for properties of that particular volume.

  • SMI-S EVA does not register itself with Service Location Protocol (SLP) on IPv6. However, SMI-S EVA registers on IPv4 address, if available.

  • If IPv6 is installed after HP Command View EVA, you must restart the HP StorageWorks CIM Object Manager service in order to enable CIMOM to work with IPv6.

  • Applications using SMI-S EVA do not have access to data during system restart or SMI-S EVA service restart for cache building. The time duration for which complete data is not available depends on the number of arrays and objects being discovered. The status of cache building can be retrieved using the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool. For more information, see GetArrayRefreshStatus tool.

  • If a request is made to create a storage pool from near online drives and an insufficient number of drives are available to create the pool, then the request will fail.

  • If an array has only online disks, pool creation using the CreateOrModifyStoragePoolUsingTubDrive method results in the creation of a pool with online disks.

IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you do not install HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 using Remote Desktop Connection or from a network drive. Download the executable to the local system to install.

NOTE: HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 can be installed on a system only if HP Command View EVA 8.0 or HP Command View EVA 8.0.1 is already installed.

The cxws.properties file is updated with some properties used for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and the same is true with SMI-S EVA 8.0.2. When SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 is installed, it overwrites the existing property file, delivered in SMI-S EVA 8.0. If you modify any property in this file, HP recommends that you back up this file before installing version 8.0.2.

Symptom: When the password is set for an EVA4400 storage system through the web-based operator control panel (WOCP) or for all other supported EVA storage systems through the operator control panel (OCP), and the EVA storage systems are connected to HP Command View EVA for the first time, HP Command View EVA does not notify the user that the EVA is password protected. It displays the following message:

Storage System Not Responding

Solution:

Before connecting an array to HP Command View EVA for the first time, clear the management server password. To clear the management server password (using the WOCP on the EVA4400):

  1. On the Administrator Login Options screen, leave the Password and Confirm password fields blank.

  2. Click .

For instructions on clearing the array password using the OCP, see the HP StorageWorks 4x00/6x00/8x00 Enterprise Virtual Array user guide. The user guide is located on the Manuals page of the HP Business Support Center website:

In the Storage section, click Disk Storage Systems and then select HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Arrays under EVA Disk Arrays.

Symptom: After installing HP Command View EVA 8.x/7.0.1, if you change the server name or the server setting from a local/workgroup system to a domain member/controller system or vice-versa, then subsequent login fails with insufficient privileges.

Solution: Reinstall HP Command View EVA 8.x/7.0.1 and configure the local/domain settings accordingly during installation.

To disable the IPv4 address scheme on the management port of the MPX100 server, set the static IPv4 address to 0.0.0.0.

Removing HP Command View EVA 8.0 installed on a drive other than C:

To remove the HP Command View EVA software suite when it is installed on a drive other than C:, install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later on the management server.

To install Java Runtime Environment:

  1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

  2. Download Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 6.

  3. Select the platform as Windows (for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems).

  4. Accept the license agreement, and click.

  5. Select Windows Offline Installation (jre-6u6-windows-i586-p.exe) to download the JRE install file.

This section identifies important additional information.

  • If you are using IPv6, note that IP addresses in IPv6 generally have a different format than in IPv4. IPv6 addresses are typically shown in eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons; for example, 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7334. IPv4 IP addresses are normally shown in decimal notation, separated by dots (periods). For example: 192.0.2.235.

    Also, in IPv6, IP addresses with port numbers must be enclosed in brackets to avoid confusion with port numbers, for example https://[2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344]:2372/. Note that IPv4 does not use brackets.

  • Internet Explorer 7.0 or FireFox browser is required to access HP Command View EVA using IPv6 address.

  • If IPv4 and IPv6 are installed on a single system, then by default HP Command View EVA starts on the IPv4 address. If you want to start HP Command View EVA on a specific address, then you must add the address entry under the webserver section of the cveva.cfg configuration file.

    For example, to start HP Command View EVA on IPv6, enter address 0::0 under the webserver section of cveva.cfg.

  • Using the IPv6 link local address to run the management server can result in connectivity issues.

  • If IPv4 is disabled and IPv6 is already enabled on the management server, HP Command View EVA is accessible on all the IPv6 addresses that are configured for the management server.

  • If IPv6 and IPv4 coexist on the same system and IPv6 is disabled, IPv6 is still polled before connecting to IPv4 address.

  • At any given point, the management server is available only on IPv4 or IPv6 address.

NOTE: HP Command View EVAPerf has the same behavior with IPv6 as HP Command View EVA. To start HP Command View EVAPerf on a specific IPv6 address, you must add the evapdcs.address entry in the evaperf.conf file and specify the address.

HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 has the following limitations:

  • If you use HP Command View EVA 8.0 to view an array managed by HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 that was started on a system running IPv6 address, then the managing server IP address is displayed as 0.0.0.0. However, if the array is viewed from another management server running HP Command View EVA 8.0.2, then the managing server IP address is displayed properly.

  • If a host is created in HP Command View EVA 8.0.2, the IP address property field of the host is not displayed in the correct format when viewed from HP Command View EVA 8.0 or earlier.

  • The auto discovery option is not supported for IPv6 enabled management port controllers (ISCSI controller). Use the “Add iSCSI Controller” option to enable support for IPv6 configurations.

  • If a remote array is not available to a DR group, you cannot change the preferred path of the DR group member through HP Command View EVA.

  • The DR group remote node orphans continue to display in HP Command View EVA when the EVAs are zoned away or upgraded from one EVA model to another.

HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 includes the following fixes:

  • The EVAPerf fn command works properly with large configurations.

  • Displays the complete friendly names of virtual disks, including any spaces included in the names.

HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 includes the following workarounds:

Using Windows Performance Monitor on an x64 platform

Symptom: On an x64 (64–bit) platform, Windows Performance Monitor does not provide HP Command View EVAPerf data directly.

Solution: Start Windows Performance Monitor using either of the below mentioned modes:

This enables interactive viewing of HP Command View EVAPerf data, but collecting a performance trace file is not possible in this mode.

Symptom: When HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0 client queries HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 server or vice versa, the hps command does not return metrics.

Solution: Execute the query between HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 server and HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 client.

NOTE: On an x64 operating system, HP Command View EVAPerf creates a backup of the existing evadata.mdb file and a new evadata.mdb file is created. You must manually access the previous database file if you want to view the previous data. However, on an x86 operating system, the evadata.mdb file is upgraded to show the new fields and tables, and the existing data is not affected.

HP Command View EVAPerf 8.0.2 has the following limitation:

  • The drt command does not show accurate values for free command resources and free write resources for XCS 0900xxxx.

.HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility

This section describes HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility (called the utility) 8.0.2 fixes, limitations and other additional information.

IMPORTANT: HP Storage Systems Scripting Utility 8.0.2 is only applicable to supported versions of Microsoft Windows.

HP Storage System Scripting Utility 8.0.2 includes the following fixes:

  • DR groups can now be created in asynchronous mode.

  • The CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command works properly for arrays running controller software versions earlier than XCS 6.200 and for configurations containing DR groups.

  • The LS VDISK FULL command continues to retrieve the properties of virtual disks even if there are errors present in some of the virtual disk objects.

  • The CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command works properly when an iSCSI controller is in the configuration.

  • If you use HP Storage System Scripting Utility 8.0 to view an array managed by HP Command View EVA 8.0.2 that was started on a system running IPv6 address, then the managing server IP address is displayed as 0.0.0.0. However, if the array is viewed from another management server running HP Storage System Scripting Utility 8.0.2, then the managing server IP address is displayed properly.

  • If a host is created in HP Command View EVA 8.0.2, the IP address property field of the host is not in the correct format when viewed from a management server running HP Command View EVA 8.0 or earlier versions.

  • Improper and inconsistent error messages are seen when you perform the following operations using the SET MULTIMIRROR command:

    • Fracturing a mirrorclone that is already fractured

    • Resynchronizing a mirrorclone that has already been resynchronized

    • Detaching a mirrorclone that has already been detached

  • If you use the CODELOAD DISK command to upgrade firmware on multiple disk drives, an error is not displayed for disks configured with VRaid 0.

  • On an OpenVMS IA64 host, the CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command fails if you have a '/' or ' character in the comment field for objects such as disk groups, virtual groups and so on.

SMI-S is an industry standard developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). You can access the SNIA website at: http://www.snia.org

SMI-S enables CIM-capable management software to manage HP StorageWorks EVA arrays.

SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 is SMI-S 1.2 compliant; SMI-S 1.2 is based on the Common Information Model (CIM) 2.13.1 specification.

HP SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 includes the following enhancements:

  • Introduced two new APIs — FindVolumeByWWN and RefreshObjectFromArray in the CIM class HPEVA_StorageConfigurationService. These APIs enable selective refresh of objects from the array.

    NOTE: RefreshObjectFromArray can refresh only HPEVA_StorageSystem, HPEVA_StorageVolume and HEPVA_StoragePool instances.

  • Introduced a method CreateOrModifyStoragePoolWithSettings in the class HPEVA_StorageConfigurationService. This method is used to create a storage pool by specifying the disk type, protection level, and occupancy alarm thresholds.

  • Added a new association (HPEVA_DiskDriveProtocolController : CIM_ProtocolControllerAccessesUnit) between the HPEVA_DiskPortSCSIProtocolController and HPEVA_DiskDrive. This association is used to obtain the controllers associated with each disk drive.

  • Implemented a subset of the Block Server Performance sub profile. This provides performance statistics for the following with the help of the HP Command View EVAPerf interface:

    • Storage system

    • Storage volume

    • Host and disk ports

    • Controller and physical disks

  • Added a new association (HPEVA_StoragePoolDiskGroupComponent : CIM_ConcreteComponent) between the HPEVA_StoragePool and HPEVA_DiskGroupExtent. This association is used to associate the storage pools with their disk extents.

  • The SMI-S EVA provider cache information can be updated using the CLIRefreshTool.bat file. For more information, see CLIRefreshTool.

  • Log and configuration files required for debugging can be archived using the CollectLogs tool. For more information, see CollectLogs tool.

  • Log levels can be set using the dynamic log level setting tool. For more information, see Dynamic log level setting tool.

  • The SMI-S EVA provider cache refresh status can now be obtained using the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool. For more information, see GetArrayRefreshStatus tool.

HP StorageWorks SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 includes the following fixes:

  • The volume deletion operation (ReturnToStoragePool) is converted to an asynchronous call. The status of the operation can be obtained through the returned JOB handle.

  • The property ManagementStation of the CIM classHPEVA_StorageSystem holds the IP address of the HP Command View EVA server that manages the EVA storage array.

  • The GetSupportedSizeRange function returns an error code 1 (CIM_ERR_FAILED) when an invalid parameter is passed as an input.

  • Modified the HPEVA_ElementConformsToProfile association to also include the passively managed arrays.

  • The value of the property RemainingManagedSpace in the HPEVA_StoragePool class is now accurate.

  • Added a vendor specific return code 4098 (Volume creation failed as the volume name specified already exists) to the method CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool to indicate failure of volume creation.

  • Added the following vendor specific return codes to the method DeleteStoragePool in the HPEVA_StorageConfigurationService class:

    • 4097 (Pool contains volumes and so pool deletion failed)

    • 4098 (Deletion of primordial pool failed)

This tool provides a CLI interface to update cache data.

NOTE:

  • If changes are made to any objects that are connected between two storage systems, for example, changes in DR groups, you will need to refresh each of the storage systems.

  • The time required for a cache update depends on the array’s size.

To update cache information:

  1. Open a command prompt window.

  2. Set the path to the specified directory: Installed Path>Hewlett-packardSMISCXWSCimombin

  3. Run the command: CLIRefreshTool.bat

  4. When prompted, enter the host IP, username, and password, and select the array for which updated data is required.

Example:

C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimombin> CLIRefreshTool.bat

Enter the internet address of the host in the format- http://HOSTNAME: http://localhost

Enter the username: SMI-S UserName

Enter the pasword: SMI-S Password

NameSpace: /root/eva/

Sample output

SELECT A STORAGE SYSTEM
(1)---> NEO
(0)---> EXIT

Enter your choice: 1
Choice entered: 1
Refreshing: NEO
Refresh of the Storage System: NEO started
Refresh of the Storage System: NEO is complete

This tool facilitates changing the log levels of both the CIMOM and SMI-S provider without the need to restart the SMI-S service.

  • The log levels are: ALL/DEBUG/ERROR/INFO/WARN/OFF

  • Log levels are case sensitive. Ensure that you provide the desired log level in uppercase only.

  • After you change the log level, it may take a few minutes for the changes to take effect.

To change the log level:

  1. Open a command prompt window.

  2. Set the path to the specified directory: Installed PathHewlett-packardSMISCXWSCimombin

  3. Run the command: cscript Set_LogLevel.vbs <Log Level>

    After you execute the script, the CIMOM and SMI-S provider log level is set to the desired log level. The following message is displayed:
    Log Level Set to: <Log Level>

Example:

C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimombin>cscript Set_LogLevel.vbs ALL

Output:

HP SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 includes the following workaround.

Symptom: When IPv6 is enabled and IPv4 is disabled on a Windows system, the SMI-S provider displays an error.

Solution: Do one of the following:

  • Option 1

    1. Add the line: java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true in the file C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimomconfigcxws.properties.

    2. Restart the SMI-S CIMOM service.

  • Option 2

    1. Append a flag —Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true in C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardSMI-SCXWSCimomconfigCxwsCimomService.cfg for the property JAVA_OPTIONS.

    2. Restart the SMI-S EVA service.

HP StorageWorks SMI-S EVA 8.0.2 has the following limitations:

  • The GetSupportedSizeRange method calculates the minimum and maximum pool sizes based on the protection level of 'none'. If these size ranges are used to create a pool with a protection level of 'single' or 'double', the size of the resulting pool may not match the exact specified size provided while creating the pool.

  • The FindStorageVolumeByWWN method should not be used with the volume type as Container.

  • When a volume is in deletion_in_ progress state, a getInstance/EnumerateInstances query to the class HPEVA_StorageVolume may result in null/unknown values or even zero (in the case of numbers) for properties of that particular volume.

  • SMI-S EVA does not register itself with Service Location Protocol (SLP) on IPv6. However, SMI-S EVA registers on IPv4 address, if available.

  • If IPv6 is installed after HP Command View EVA, you must restart the HP StorageWorks CIM Object Manager service in order to enable CIMOM to work with IPv6.

  • Applications using SMI-S EVA do not have access to data during system restart or SMI-S EVA service restart for cache building. The time duration for which complete data is not available depends on the number of arrays and objects being discovered. The status of cache building can be retrieved using the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool. For more information, see GetArrayRefreshStatus tool.

  • If a request is made to create a storage pool from near online drives and an insufficient number of drives are available to create the pool, then the request will fail.

  • If an array has only online disks, pool creation using the CreateOrModifyStoragePoolUsingTubDrive method results in the creation of a pool with online disks.
