HPE Storage Users Group

There is a new version of IMC that can be downloaded from :
https://h20575.www2.hp.com/tsusbportal/ ... o?lc=EN_US

Haven't found a change log yet but the once i see clearly are:

*Bug with Remote Copy : When you create a new group and add volume you where not able to see the create target volume. This is now fixed.
*Peer Motion config added and should support any device running 3.1.2
*LDAP Configuration can now be done in GUI.
*Volume Creations now comes with the option to export volume to host after creation.
* Export Volume finally got a search option for both volumes and hosts.
* Added HP Logo

Thanks Christian,

GUI for the LDAP should be nice, for that 1 time per install lifecycle it's needed

Update:
* Tasks can now be Scheduled from GUI
* AO Config added for 3PARs running Inform OS 3.1.2

Also here is the HP 3PAR Management Console 4.3.0

Be very careful with IMC 4.3.0.71 when creating a new CPG.

When you create a new CPG, there is no more option to select the <Default> Step Size and it will automatically pick the lowest available value (32KiB) if you don't change it manually. RAID-5 default should be 128KiB.

here's the showcpg -sdg output of a CPG created using IMC 4.3.0.71


To fix, edit the CPG in IMC and change the Step Size to 128KiB, it should change to this:


I opened a case w/ HP regarding this and they confirmed that it's a bug. There's also a customer advisory sent by HP today http://alerts.hp.com/r?2.1.3KT.2ZR.%5fA ... 5fRTEHca00

Good post, I ran into this last week and also heard about the bug from our SE. They are going to fix it in the next revision.

Can anyone that has not updated tell me what the step size should be for RAID 6 NL with a set size of 6+2? All of the docs just say the step size for R6 depends on the set size.

Default is 128 with a set size of 8 ( 6+2 )
