We were going to do 3.2.1 MU1 and were tald it has a warning that was just issued, but no further details were released. We cancelled deployment until we can get details.

I'm on 3.2.1 MU1 and have been running with no issues.

There was a critical patch released for an issue with region moves on a TDVV (Thin Dedupe VV), but they issued a patch (P04) that fixed the issue. HP contacted me about the critical patch just after thanksgiving, and I had them install it over the weekend (Saturday and sunday after thanksgiving). No node reboot required, completely non-disruptive.

That being said, since we don't have SSD, and don't use thin dedupe, there were no worries for us. I just had them do it so I didn't have to think about it.

Well, P04 is the key to MU1.

It's about dedup and moving region/chunklets of VVs in vvset setted for dedup and... data corruption ^^

So, no dedup in MU1 without P04.

OK then I guess I will reschedule the install for after the new year.

Also have one array on 3.2.1 MU1 since the release day without issue.
But HP came and installed P04 immediatly when it was released.

Did a couple of upgrades from 3.1.3 MU1 to 3.2.1 MU1 with P04 and notice a completely different issue with iSCSI.

shownet -d is some issues on the iSCSI interfaces

The above is from a 2-node 7400, also seeing similar issues on a pair of 7200's though the counts are less (much smaller configs).

Just ran across the issue a few hours ago when the VM farm disconnected/reconnected half of the exported LUNs....definitely something is up.

Fwiw we have had precisely zero issues with 3.2.1 mu1, but we run fc only (blech. The thought of iscsi makes me queasy)
