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

General
• The ibrix_pv -a -o mpath command does not recognize a multipath device. The command
works properly when an argument is added to ignore the standard scsi devices. Execute the
command as follows, specifying the path to your device.
ibrix_pv -a -o accept:/dev/mapper/mpath10,~standard
• HP-OpenIPMI does not work with the HP-Health service. For example, Proliant health check tools
such as SMH and SIM and hpasmcli commands such as SHOW POWERSUPPLY do not report
errors. This situation occurs because X9000 Software requires standard RHEL IPMI. Remove the
HP-OpenIPMI RPM (execute rpm -e HP-OpenIPMI), and then start the standard RHEL IPMI
(execute /etc/init.d/ipmi start). The standard RHEL IMPI will now start automatically
when the server is booted.
• During server migration or failover, certain cluster events will be reported as alerts. These events
are expected and normal, and are reported temporarily as a server is failing over to another
server.
• Node failover does not occur when a node has a complete loss of power (for example, removing
power cords or pulling a blade from a chassis). Do not test high availability in this manner.
• The log files for user-initiated tasks (such as running ibrix_fsck and migrating or rebalancing
segments) are not rotated automatically. To control the space used by these log files, you will
need to maintain them manually. The log files are located in /usr/local/ibrix/log.
• NFS locks may return an error code (37) after an unlock operation even though the lock was
correctly released. If other results are normal, you can ignore this error code.
• Clients cannot view files containing Korean characters on an FTP share. To resolve this, set the
LANG variable to ko_KR.euckr.
