6.0 HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software Release Notes (TA768-96042, October 2011)

The default value of this command is 900; the value is in seconds. A higher value reduces the
probably of all components toggling from Up to Stale and back to Up because of the conditions
listed above, but will increase the time before an actual component failure is reported.
HP Insight Remote Support
• In certain cases, large number of error messages such as the following appear in /var/log/
hp-snmp-agents/cma.log:
“Feb 08 13:05:54 x946s1 cmahostd[25579]: cmahostd: Can't update OS
filesys object: /ifs1 (PEER3023)”
This error message occurs because the file system exceeds <n> TB. (This situation will be corrected
in a future release.) To disable logging, edit the script /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/server/
etc/cmahostd and remove the option -l <logname>. Then restart the agents using service
hp-snmp-agents restart.
If you want to keep logging enabled, be aware that the log messages occur frequently, and you
will need to monitor and clean up the log file regularly to avoid filling the file system.
• If Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) resolution is not configured properly for the hosts, the
following error appears when hpsmhd is restarted:
Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,
using <ip> for ServerName
To configure FQDN resolution, use either the /etc/hosts file or the Domain Name Service.
• If SNMP is logging excessively, add the following command to the file /etc/sysconfig/
snmpd.options to stop the logging:
OPTIONS="-LS 0-4 d -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a"
To enable the default SNMP logging, update the following command in the file /etc/sysconfig/
snmpd.options:
# OPTIONS="-LS 0-4 d -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a"
Add a pound sign in front of the command and save the file. Then restart the snmp service:
service snmpd restart
• If the X9720 Onboard Administrator is discovered as unknown on IRSS, enter the following
information manually:
◦ Select the System Subtype as ProLiant Onboard Administrator.
◦ Enter the Entitlement serial number (this is same as the X9000 enclosure product number).
◦ Enter the Entitlement product number (this is same as the X9000 enclosure product number).
Upgrades
• System User login credentials are backed up and restored during upgrades. However, any user
data is not retained. Users must save and restore their individual data manually during an upgrade.
• If clients previously mapped a CIFS share using the hostname/FQDN, they will be prompted
continuously to enter their credentials when attempting to access the CIFS share after the upgrade.
(The share can be accessed successfully using the IP address.) To workaround this situation, disjoin
and then rejoin all file serving nodes to the Active Directory domain. This can be done using the
GUI or the ibrix_auth command.
