This section explains information about incompatibility between V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07) and V3.1.1/V3.1.1A.
Details of Modification
In the following cases, registration and migration of disk resources to the storage pool cannot be performed, due to the storage pool attributes:
Disk resources with Thin Provisioning attributes are registered in or migrated to a storage pool for which Thin Provisioning attributes are not configured.
Disk resources with Thick Provisioning attributes are registered in or migrated to a storage pool for which Thin Provisioning attributes are configured.
The above operations are available with V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07).
Corrective Action
When the rcxadm pool register command or the rcxadm pool move command is called from programs, correction of the programs may be required.
Details of Modification
When performing restoration of an L-Server using the ROR console, a warning message notifying that current system information may be lost is displayed.
Corrective Action
A warning message notifying that current system information may be lost is displayed in the dialog which is displayed when restoring an L-Server in the ROR console [Resource] tab.
Check the details of the displayed warning message, and check the following checkbox:
When using physical L-Servers: [Restore the system image.]
When using virtual L-Servers:[Restore the snapshot.]
Details of Modification
Snapshots of virtual L-Servers are added to the target resources for which metering logs are output.
Effect
The snapshot is added to the resource type of metering logs which are output by the Output Metering Logs command (ctchg_getmeterlog).
The "resource_type" entry of metering logs for snapshots is "snapshot".
Corrective Actions
When the command output results are analyzed by programs, it is necessary to skip reading of added information.
Details of Modification
Disk resource attributes (ATTRIBUTES) for thin devices of EMC Symmetrix DMX storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage are changed to display "Thin".
For V3.1.1
Disk resource attributes (ATTRIBUTES) are displayed as "Thick".
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
Disk resource attributes (ATTRIBUTES) are displayed as "Thin".
Corrective Action
When the output results of the rcxadm disk list -verbose command or the rcxadm disk show command are analyzed using programs, it is necessary to replace the information using programs.
Details of Modification
The behavior of a network device when network device auto-configuration fails is changed as indicated below.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A
With network devices for which script execution failed during auto-configuration, auto-configuration (AutoConfiguration) in the network configuration information of the network device is changed to exclude (false).
The unit status and the maintenance mode of the corresponding network device are not changed.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
With network devices and corresponding network devices in redundant configurations for which script execution failed during auto-configuration, their unit statuses are changed to "error" and they are placed into maintenance mode.
Auto-configuration (AutoConfiguration) of the network configuration information in the network devices is not changed.
Corrective Action
Release the network device from maintenance mode after taking action when auto-configuration fails.
Details of Modification
When the unit status of a network device is "unknown", it will not be released from maintenance mode.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A
When release from maintenance mode is performed for a network device with the unit status "unknown", the device will be released from maintenance mode.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
When release from maintenance mode is performed for a network device with the unit status "unknown", the device will not be released from maintenance mode.
Corrective Action
When the unit status of the network device is "unknown", release it from maintenance mode after taking corrective action to make the unit status "normal".
Details of Modification
Messages output when monitoring network devices have been changed.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A
When the status changes of network devices are detected, the following messages are output:
22780 : unm-mon:Node status of nodeid is changed to status
42780 : unm-mon:Node status of nodeid is changed to status
62780 : unm-mon:Node status of nodeid is changed to status (cause)
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
When the status changes of network devices are detected, the following messages are output:
22780 : Status of nodeid has changed to status
42780 : Status of nodeid has changed to status (cause)
62780 : Status of nodeid has changed to status (cause)
Corrective Action
When monitoring the corresponding messages output by Resource Orchestrator using other monitoring software, it is necessary to change the monitored messages.
When the messages before modification are described in the operation guide of a system created by a customer, it is necessary to revise the operation guide.
Details of Modification
When the disk resources of an L-Server with multiple disks configured were insufficient at the time of the following operations, the output messages and details were changed.
Application for an L-Platform including a KVM virtual L-Server
Creation or starting of a KVM virtual L-Server
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A
When the disk resources allocated to some disks of L-Server are insufficient, the following messages are output.
FJSVrcx:ERROR:67154:obj:not found
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
When the disk resources allocated to some disks of L-Server are insufficient, the following messages are output.
FJSVrcx:ERROR:62514:Selectable VM host not found. (detail)
FJSVrcx:ERROR:62517:Specified VM host is not available. (detail)
Also, the information output for detail is changed.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A
no sharable datastore found
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
no sharable datastore or disk found
Corrective Action
When monitoring the corresponding messages output by Resource Orchestrator using other monitoring software, it is necessary to change the monitored messages.
When the messages before modification are described in the operation guide of a system created by a customer, it is necessary to revise the operation guide.
Details of Modification
A tag name contained in the response of the L-Platform API "ListDisk" has been changed.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A
The API returns the VDisks tag.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
The API returns the disks tag.
Corrective Action
If you have created programs that analyze the response of the L-Platform API "ListDisk", check whether the change of the tag name affects them.
Details of Modification
There are following changes about the accounting information setting for snapshots.
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A
The unit price of snapshots is included in the unit price of the product of Virtual L-Servers.
However, if the following patch has been applied and snapshot accounting has been enabled in the procedure, the setting method is same as V3.1.2.
[Windows Manager]
T007690WP-02
[Linux Manager]
T007689LP-02
For V3.1.1/V3.1.1A (T007664LP-05/T007676WP-07)
The product category for snapshots is added to the accounting information setting.
The unit price of snapshots is set as a product of snapshots.
Corrective Actions
If the manager has been newly installed, or the manager has been upgraded and snapshot accounting has been enabled in the procedure:
Set the unit prices of the snapshots as the products of the snapshots in the accounting information setting.
If it is not necessary to charge for the snapshots, specify 0s for the unit prices of the snapshots or do not define the products of the snapshots.
If snapshot accounting has not been enabled in the upgrade installation procedure:
There is no incompatibility. No action is required.
For details on the upgrade installation procedure, refer to "C.2 Manager" in "Setup Guide CE".
