Enhancements
Version 5.70
• Drive fan control algorithms implemented to provide optimized airflow based on drive operation
and ambient temperature. This change also reduces noise under most operating conditions.
• RMI login screen has been modified so a user-level login is not prompted for a password and the
Service login now requires both the Administrator password and the HP Service password.
• Previous release versions did not include the HP-defined Event Code in binding #6 of the SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) trap data. This release provides the HP specific Event
Code as well as the product level event code with the SNMP trap data.
• The SNMP community string can now accept an “_” (underscore) character. Previous versions
did not allow this character.
Version 5.40
• Added control path failover and data path failover features. For information about these features,
see HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 User and Service Guide
(part number AK378-96054), available from http://www.hp.com/go/MSL.
• Added notification for TLS/SSL email notification.
• Improved error recovery and error messages for robotics errors.
