• MSA70 disk enclosures are supported for use with P2000 G3 arrays, but must have firmware
2.18 installed. Please check the MSA70 or P2000 G3 QuickSpecs to confirm which version
MSA70 firmware is supported.
Known issues and workarounds
Issue: In Japanese locale, the user cannot log in to the Storage Management Utility (SMU) if a HP StorageWorks
D2700 Disk Enclosure is attached to the MSA System.
Workaround: Use the English locale.
Issue: In Japanese locale, the error message is truncated when attempting to remove a host that is mapped.
The message should say “Host X is mapped, so it cannot be deleted”.
Workaround: Use the English locale.
Issue: One host remains when three or more hosts are deleted at the same time from the Storage Management
Utility or the Command Line Interface.
Workaround: Return to the SMU or the CLI and remove the remaining host.
Issue: The array will incorrectly accept a DNS name for the address of the NTP server in the Storage
Management Utility. The array does not use DNS, and will translate the name into an invalid
“255.255.255.255” IP address.
Workaround: Instead of a network name, enter the NTP server IP address.
Issue: In the Command Line Interface, the array will incorrectly accept a DNS name for the address for the
SMNP, SMTP, and NTP servers. The array does not use DNS, and will not be able to connect to the server
correctly.
Workaround: Instead of network names, enter the IP addresses for the servers.
Issue: In Windows configurations, the IQN shown by the NC551 card during POST may not match the IQN
seen in the array controller. This occurs when the NC551 was set up in a boot-from-storage configuration.
After an operating system is installed, the POST message will show the IQN that is supplied by the iSCSI
Software Initiator, but the NC551 BIOS will continue to use the IQN setup to boot the OS.
Workaround: Using the NC551 BIOS Utility, remove the boot settings and then log back into the array with
the new IQN. If the volume used for mapping was explicitly mapped to the host, recreate the mapping for the
new IQN.
Issue: When accessing more than 128 LUNs using a Qlogic iSCSI HBA in boot-from-storage configurations,
the system my hang when a reset is issued on the array.
Workaround: Access 128 LUNs or less via the Qlogic iSCSI HBA when using the card in boot-from-storage
configurations.
Issue: RHEL 4.8 may not discover all multipath devices and partitions during boot or reboot.
Workaround: This issue is addressed by applying the updated device-mapper-multipath package described
in RedHat Bug Fix Advisory RHBA-2009:1524-1, available at http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/
RHBA-2009-1524.html.
Issue: RHEL 5.4 may not discover all multipath devices and partitions during boot or reboot.
Workaround: This issue is addressed by applying the updated device-mapper-multipath packages described
in RedHat Bug Fix Advisory RHBA-2010:0255-1, available at https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/
RHBA-2010-0255.html.
Issue: In the Storage Management Utility, a user cannot abort a “verify vdisk” task that is in progress.
Workaround: Use the Command Line Interface abort verify vdisk command to abort the task.
