7UCP Release Notes

# Description

469 Baremetal host not available immediately after service template job reportssuccessful completion

In UCP Director, the Baremetal apply service template job is reported complete before the OSdeployment is complete. The host might be undergoing reboots required to complete the OSdeployment andmight not be available to the customer immediately to perform any otheroperations.

Workaround: Open the console to the blade andmonitor to ensure that the OS deployment iscomplete before performing any other operation.

472 UCP storage operations become inaccessible when all Hyper-V hosts are poweredoff

Under rare circumstances when ALL the Hyper-V hosts are powered off, UCP storageoperations become inaccessible and cause UCP Director to throw errors. This is due to the factthat UCP Director cache gets invalidated and needs to be re-built.

Workaround: Make sure one of the Hyper-V hosts is online for UCP Director to re-build thecache.

526 Create/Apply Server profile does not check if the IP being used for it is already inuse

When a server profile is created and then subsequently being applied, it does not check if the IPaddress being applied is already in use. In case the IP address is already in use, the job fails.

Workaround: Manually check that the IP address is not being used before applying serverprofile

547 Windows HyperV service template deployment fails in an environment with ashared external AD if an IP is reused

In a UCP Director HyperV environment deployedwith an shared external active directory, theHyperV deployment fails if a previously used IP is used during deployment. This happensbecause while a Forward Lookup record is successfully created for the host during deployment,the corresponding Reverse Lookup record is not created (if a pre-existing Reverse Lookuprecord exists). So when UCP polls for the Host, the only item returned is for the old ReverseLookup record. This causes the apply service template job to fail.

Workaround: Delete existing Forward Lookup entries for IP address either whendeprovisioning the host, or before deploying a service template.


8UCP Release Notes

# Description

564 Cannot log out of Datacenter Operations Center UI

It is not possible for a user to log out of the Datacenter Operations Center (DOC) UI. The userstays logged in even after the browser is closed.

Workaround: Clear browser history. If using a chrome browser - force close the chromeprocess.

713 HTTP action failed due to incorrect credentials (negotiate)

When performing an action through the Workstation VM with a user that does not haveappropriate UCP credentials the UCP system will refuse an action from that user. The followingerror will show: "Unkown Error: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authenticationscheme "Negotiate". The authentication header received from the server was "Negotiate,NTLM".

Workaround:When using the Workstation VM for accessing UCP,make sure to log on to theVM with the same credentials that you'll use to authenticate UCP login. This may require firstlogging into the Workstation VM as domain administrator and then granting your user therights to remote-desktop into the VM.

791 Running Attach-UCPVolume CLI command without passing parameters does notprompt for mandatory parameter 'serverId' or 'clusterId'

While running the UCP CLI Command to attach volumes to a cluster or a host withoutproviding any parameters, the CLI command does not prompt for mandatory parameter'clusterId' or 'serverId', causing the command to fail.

Workaround: Use the CLI commandwith the required parameters as specified in theexample for Attach-UCPVolume. It can be found by running the following command: Get-HelpAttach-UCPVolume -example

913 UCP 4.0 does not support Federated UCP's via an external PSC - Join site

UCP 4.0 does not support an external PSC configured in a federatedmode when the userselects to Join a Site.

Workaround/Resolution: Do not select to join a site when installing & configuring vCenterthrough the UCP workflow using an external PSC. Refer to VMware documentation and theUCP vCenter Manual install guide for additional details.

929 Username column is blank in UCP Switch Events page on VMware Web Client

The username column is blank within a Switch Summary monitoring page when viewingevents on said switch. This issue is seen only on the VMware web client

Workaround: View the Switch summary page on the VMware Thick Client


9UCP Release Notes

# Description

940 Individual monitoring indicators set to Unknown still show up in UCP afterelements have been offboarded causing DOC to show incorrect number ofUnknown indicators

If any specific indicators on an onboarded element in UCP are set to Unknown and the elementis offboarded, the individual element indicators still linger on and show 'Unknown', causing DOCto show incorrect number of Unknown indicators.

Workaround: Set all indicators of onboarded elements to 'Monitoring' before offboardingelements.

1179 Ethernet switch summary displays an incorrect message without networkprivileges

When logged into UCP as a user without network privileges (ie. UCP Storage Admin) theEthernet Switch Summary page is not displayedwith an incorrect error. "Sorry, an erroroccurred while processing your request".

Workaround/Resolution: Disregard this error when logged in a non-Network privileged useror log in as a user with network privileges.

1205 Unable to add online repositories for VMware in UCP 4.0

There is a regression with VMware code that causes PowerCLI to fail when an external VMwareonline repository is added. This leads to PowerCLI failures which can cause UCP API failures.More details about the issue can be found here:https://communities.vmware.com/thread/489560 Resolution: - Remove all VMware onlinerepositories

Workaround/Recommendations going forward: Do not add any VMware onlinerepositories into UCP

1241 UCP Director will intermittently not display the server profile name correctly if theDNS host name for the server is same as the server profile IP address.

There is an intermittent issue with UCP Management cache where UCP Director will notcorrectly display the server profile name for a host if the DNS host name for that servermatches the corresponding IP address for that server within the server profile.

Workaround: Try to use host names that do not match server profile IP address or if there is aneed to keep these consistent then make sure you perform the ipconfig /flushdns command toensure the right server profile name gets populated within UCP Director.


10UCP Release Notes

# Description

1317 Apply service template fails with error message "UCP failed to update DHCPconfiguration."

This issue is seen when the UCP Utility VM which acts as the DHCP server in the UCPManagement stack goes into recovery mode and the filesystem is in a read only mode. Becauseof this, UCP cannot create DHCP entries for a blade while applying a service template and thejob fails continuously.

Workaround: Reboot the UCP utility VM and verify that the file system is mounted in readwrite mode.

1347 Locales for DOC, UCP, and SQL VM's must be consistent in an HUR DisasterRecovery configuration

Locales for DOC, UCP, and SQL VM's must be consistent in an HUR Disaster Recoveryconfiguration. When performing journal operations all VM's must be the same locale - English(US) to perform journal operations within an HUR configuration.

Workaround: Configure DOC, UCP, and SQL VM to be the same locale - English (US)

1347 Locales for DOC, UCP, and SQL VM's must be consistent in an HUR DisasterRecovery configuration

Locales for DOC, UCP, and SQL VM's must be consistent in an HUR Disaster Recoveryconfiguration. When performing journal operations all VM's must be the same locale - English(US) to perform journal operations within an HUR configuration.

Workaround: Configure DOC, UCP, and SQL VM to be the same locale - English (US)

1599 vSphere Distributed Switch VLAN and MTU warnings when rebooting a computeblade

These warnings may be visible in the vSphere health check UI after a compute blade has beenrebooted.

Workaround/Resolution: Ensure that all portgroups in the virtual distributed switch withdifferent VLANs have the same MTU in the physical switch because ESXi will not detect theMTU mismatch of full paths and Jumbo Frame packets might forwarded to other physicalswitch ports which are out of the virtual distributed switch. At those ports, there is a risk thatthe Jumbo Frame packets might be dropped if that port and VLAN do not enable JumboFrames.

Additionally, ensure the number of MAC addresses to be generated by the health check will beless than the size of the physical switch(es) MAC table. Otherwise there is a risk that theswitches will run out of memory, with subsequent network connectivity failures.


11UCP Release Notes

# Description

3050 Ethernet switch refresh job fails when one or more hosts in vCenter isdisconnected or in a not responding state

Occasionally, when one or more servers is in a disconnected or not responding state in vCenter,the Ethernet switch refresh job fails in UCP.

Workaround: Remove all disconnected/not responding hosts from vCenter inventory.

3102 ESXi host disconnected from vSphere client cannot be powered off from UCP UI

If a particular server is disconnected from vSphere client, when we try to power it off from theUCP UI, it fails.

Workaround: Add the host back in vSphere inventory and then issue the power offcommand. OR If the host cannot be added back to vSphere inventory, the UCP API or CLI canbe used to force power off the server.

3169 DOC UI Allows user to select non-deployed blades as secondary hosts

In the DOC UI, while setting up replication between two hosts, the host at the secondary site isallowed to be selected even if it is not deployed. This kicks off the job, but fails since thesecondary site does not have the host deployed.

Workaround: Only select hosts on the secondary sites which are deployed.

3746 UCP Director API for create and attach volumes does not immediately validatestorage ports when specified manually

When storage ports are specifiedmanually while using the UCP Director API end point forcreate and attach volumes, the job is kicked off without verifying if the selected ports matchUCP Director criteria for storage ports. As a result, the user cannot know until the job fails if theselected ports met the criteria or not. As a result, the storage volume created as a part of thejob remains in the pool as well.

Workaround: Refer to the UCP Director API Reference Guide for create and attach volume tosee UCP's storage port requirement and view the example.

3992 While creating a server profile from the identity pool, UCP Director does not checkif an identity is already in use.

When creating a server profile by using identities such as UUID, MAC address, WWNN,WWPNand IP address, UCP Director does not check if the randomly selected resource is already in use.Though the probability of the same address being selected is low, this has been seenoccasionally. As a result, when the server profile is applied, it fails with an error message thatthe identity is in use by other server.

Workaround: Delete the server profile with the duplicate identity


12UCP Release Notes

# Description

3997 Pressing Enter after entering the details while adding a site in DOC does nothing

While adding a site in DOC, after all the necessary information is entered, hitting enter on thekeyboard does not submit the information to DOC.

Workaround: Click the OK button to submit the information to DOC.

3997 Pressing Enter after entering the details while adding a site in DOC does nothing.

While adding a site in DOC, once all the necessary information is entered, hitting enter on thekeyboard does not submit the information to DOC.

Workaround: Click on the 'Ok' button to submit the information to DOC.

4088 Cannot reuse service templates with formatted volumes

When creating a new service template, UCP allows creation of raw or formatted volumes whichcan be attached as a part of the apply service template workflow. Once this service template isdeployed, in case the same service template is redeployed, though the OS deploymentsucceeds, the volume provisioning will fail due to conflicting names for formatted volumes,causing the apply service template job to fail.

Workaround: Re create formatted disks with unique name and attach them to the deployedhosts.

4134 UCP log generation feature cannot handle invalid windows file name for logbundle

The UCP log bundle generation feature does not verify invalid file names such as CON, PRN,AUX, NUL, COM1 - 9, LPT1 - 9

Workaround: Use valid windows file name for log bundle


13UCP Release Notes

# Description

4152 Removing HUR replication group sometimes fails to remove journal

Removing replication group or replicated volume pair on HUR sometimes fails with error that"Cannot delete journal {journalId} since the journal is being used for replication".

Workaround: Follow these steps to manually remove the journal volumes:

1.) Log into HDvM andmanually refresh the Storage system.Wait for the task to complete.

2.) In HDvM, obtain the serial number of the storage system.

3.) Open a PowerShell session using an account with UCP Admin role or vCenter Administratorrole.

4.) Load the Hitachi.UCP.CLI.

5.) Obtain the UCP instance with Get-UCPDirector CLI cmdlet.

6.) Remove the Journal volume with the Remove-UCPJournal cmdlet, using the storagesystem id obtained earlier, and the Journal ID as shown in the previous failure event.

4174 Occasionally during Apply service template workflow for ESXi Cluster Deployment,network settings will fail to apply

Under rare circumstances, while deploying an ESXi Cluster through the Apply cluster servicetemplate workflow, the job will not be able to configure network settings , causing the applyservice template job to fail.

Workaround: Run Configure switch VLANs on the cluster manually after the failure.

4182 Move server profile does not move associated trunk VLANs

When a server profile is moved from one blade to another, though the native VLAN is moved,the associated trunk VLANs are not moved.

Workaround: Identify all trunk VLANs before moving the server profile and apply them usingconfigure switch VLAN after the server profile is moved.

4199 UCP storage operations when launched from the Storage page in vCenterinventory list in the web client does not provide option for intended use.

When accessing the UCP Storage page from vCenter inventory list in the web client, the optionto configure storage does not provide the option for intended use.

Workaround: Access the storage page of UCP from the Dashboard by clicking on the UCPDirector icon and then navigating to the storage page.


14UCP Release Notes

# Description

4414 Concurrent storage operations using different intended use options on the samestorage ports may cause one of the storage operations to fail

Under rare circumstances when two storage provisioning operations involving the samestorage ports andmultiple intended use types (that are performed simultaneously), one of thestorage operations will fail. This is because of a locking condition where one operation which iscreating the Host Storage Domain, locks it and the second operation cannot re-use the sameHost Storage Domain.

Workaround: Re-run the storage provisioning operation.

4968 Users are unable to click the About button when on an error screen

When users are on an error screen, they are unable to click the About button for moreinformation about the system.

Workaround: Open another page without an error, for example the Jobs and Events page, tobe able to click the button.

4969 Cannot detach non-boot volumes from a Hyper-V host through UCP in SCVMMenvironment when it is powered off and not in SCVMM inventory

Under rare circumstances, e.g. when Hyper-V host is powered off in an SCVMM environmentand removed from SCVMM inventory, UCP cannot remove non-boot volumes from the host.

Workaround: Power the host on and re-add the host to the SCVMM inventory to be able todetach volumes from the SCVMM host.

4984 UCP storage operations become inaccessible when all Hyper-V hosts are poweredoff in an SCVMM environment

Under rare circumstances when ALL the Hyper-V hosts are powered off, UCP storageoperations become inaccessible and cause UCP Director to throw errors. This is due to the factthat UCP Director cache gets invalidated and needs to be re-built.

Workaround: Make sure one of the Hyper-V hosts is online for UCP Director to re-build thecache.

5026 UCP Director contextual actions are disabled in SCVMM

When using SCVMMwith UCP Director, it is not possible to navigate to Fabrics >SelectElements > Select UCP Director contextual actions, e.g. Fabrics > All Hosts > Right click andperform actions.

Workaround: Directly open the UCP Director plugin to perform said actions.


15UCP Release Notes

# Description

5027 Incorrect URL opens from chassis console in vSphere Web Client

When accessing the chassis console from the vSphere Web Client actions tab, the browser willopen but not load due to an incorrect URL. The URL opens at http://, but should open athttps://.

Workaround: Change the URL manually from http:// to https://.

5055 Cannot create a HB3 cluster in UCP v4.1/v4.1.1 when host has 4 network portsinitially configured

Due to a pre job validation check in UCP for older blade models (HB1, HB2), UCP expects exactlytwo ports to be configured on a blade while creating a host profile from a reference host used tocreate the cluster. Any other number of ports configured will result in the job not goingthrough.

Workaround: Configure exactly two ports on the reference host while creating a host profileto be used on the cluster. Once the cluster is set up and running, the remaining two powertscan be added to the dvSwitches.

5158 Cannot edit EFI settings when editing a server profile

When the user is editing a server profile, the user is unable to edit the EFI settings.

Workaround: There are two current workarounds for this bug:

• Delete the current server profile and create a new one .

• Use the API to edit the EFI settings.

5174 In an SCVMM UCP environment, applying only a server profile on a blade causesthe blade to show up as a Custom boot type.

In an SCVMM UCP environment when any server profile is applied on a blade, the blade comesup as a Custom boot type. As a result, no service template or other server profile can be appliedon this blade. Additionally, Apply service template UI for that blade cannot be opened.

Workaround: Apply server profile using the apply service template workflow only. In case theserver is stuck as a custom boot type, remove the server profile and then reapply the serverprofile using the service template workflow.


16UCP Release Notes

# Description

5338 Fibre Channel switch may reboot due to the out-of-memory caused by a memory leakagebug in FOS v7.3.1c

The memory leak is caused by periodic polling operation. The switch will attempt to non-disruptively auto-recover by rebooting the system. The memory-intensive operation maycause "Out-of-Memory Panic" when it is executed in a low free memory state.

Workaround: To prevent a switch from having an unexpected out-of-memory crash duringmemory-intensive operations such as supportsave, firmwaredownload, or firmware commit,perform the following procedure prior to these operations:

1. Monitor available free memory with the commandmemshow.

2. If the free memory falls below 100MB, before beginning any memory-intensive operations,perform hareboot to recover leakedmemory.

5394 VLANS for VSAN are not set correctly.

If the user changes the VLAN ID for VSAN manually, UCP Directory may configure incorrectly.This may lead to the loss of redundancy of storage traffic. It is not recommended tomanuallychange the VLAN ID for VSAN.

Workaround: Manually fix the VLAN ID for VSAN. The correct setting is that two VLAN IDs forVSAN are set to two switches respectively.

5398 Server profile creation view does not show expected memory speed candidate.

Sometimes in server profile creation view, the candidate memory speed does not match theserver model. If a user uses the default memory speed, the issue does not affect server profilecreation.

Workaround: If the candidate memory speed does not match the server model, refresh the UI.The following list shows the expectedmemory speed for each server model.

• HB1: Force DDR3 800, Force DDR3 1333, Force DDR3 1600

• HB2: Force DDR3 800, Force DDR3 1333, Force DDR3 1600, Force DDR3 1866

5550 OS deployment may fail with volume attachment other than boot volume

Deployment appears to be successful when an OS service template is applied with create andattach boot volume and other volumes, but the other volumes are not attached to the server.

Workaround: Deploy service template with attached boot volume only. After the deployment iscompleted, attach other volumes.

5727 Attaching volumes to ESXi fails once the server profile is removed and applied again on4000E

UCPD disables san boot option when the server profile is removed in 4000E environments.However, UCPD doesn't enable san boot option when the server profile is applied. UCPD checkssan boot option when UCPD attaches the volumes for ESXi. Therefore, UCPD displays an errormessage when UCPD attaches volumes for an ESXi server where the server profile wasremoved and applied again.

Workaround: After removing a server profile from a server in 4000E environments, enable thesan boot options manually. This manual operation is neededwhen the server is used as a ESXiserver. The steps to enable san boot options are described in the Compute Assembly Guide andbelow, as follows:

1. Launch a Remote Consolewindow and boot a blade.

2. When prompted in the Remote Consolewindow, type Ctrl + E.

3. In the Emulex OneConnect window, select the first CNA channel, and press Enter.

4. Select Enable/Disable Boot from SAN and press Enter.

5. Select Enable and press Enter.

6. When asked to reboot, click No. Return to the main menu.

7. Repeat steps to enable for channels in the list.

8. After you configure the last channel, selet Yes to restart the blade.

11949 Expanding the datastore operation through UCP fails intermittentlyWhen expanding a datastore the underlying volume gets expanded but the datastoreexpansion fails sometimes. This is a known bugwith the VMware API.

# Description

12329 When an ESXi image is added to a UCP image repository, it cannot have the same name asan existing ESXi image in UCP inventory.Displaying two images with the same name is not supported as this is a limitation in vCenterautodeploy rules.

If the image you plan to add has the same name as an existing image, rename it using thevSphere PowerShell CLI. The image cannot simply be renamed in Windows since vSphere willnot recognize the image afterwards.

12330 User can still make REST calls when permissions have been revokedIf UCP related permissions for example - network administrator privileges are revoked from auser, the user will still be able to make network related calls till about 30 minutes from the timethe privileges were removed. This issue happens because UCP cache refresh is scheduled at a30 minute interval.

Wait for 30 minutes and try again.

12870 Granting UCP permissions in vCenterGranting UCP permissions to a user/group in vCenter does not work if the node the permissionsare granted in are anything other than the vCenter root.

Grant the permissions in the vCenter root.

12982 Refresh Image inventory might fail if you have same image (different casing) in multiplerepositoriesIf refresh image inventory failed because of an unexpected error, please verify that the sameimage (zip file) is not present in multiple repositories (same file name different case).

Please remove one of the duplicate images from one of the repositories or rename the imageprofile and run Refresh Image Inventory again.

13192 UCP does not immediately report the correct total and used capacity for a volumeIf a volume is expandedmultiple times UCPmight not report the volume capacity correctly asHDvM does not read the correct capacity from the array.

Use HDVM UI to resync with the array. It should be noted that forcing HDVM to resync with thearray will degrade performance of the array for several minutes up tomore than an hour.

13571 UCP Director is not able to get array reservation for a long timeIf the SVP on the VSP is put in a modify mode by a customer service engineer and the mode isnot released, UCP Director will be stuck in a endless loop trying to get the reservation from thearray.

Customer engineer should NEVER put SVP in modify mode when storage operations arerunning on UCP.UCP will only be able to perform storage operation when the SVP is in the viewmode.

14678 Changing the boot type of a server may succeed immediately after the Blade is poweredONIf the boot type for a server is changed too soon after the Blade is powered on, HCSM and UCPDirector may be out of sync on the power status of the blade and UCP Director may allowchanging boot type between custom boot and ESXi stateless.

Wait for the blade to be powered ON completely and ensure that UCP shows the correct powerstatus before attempting to change the boot type for the server.

14697 After recovery from unexpected network outage, the power status of some blades may be'unknown'When UCP regains connectivity to HCSM, it may not pick up the correct power states of someblades. Even after a server inventory refresh, the blades' power states may still be reported as'unknown.' An additional side affect is that most of the Hitachi server actions through the webclient will not be available.

1.) Open a web browser to HCSM and log in as ucpadmin

2.) Go to the Resources tab

3.) Under "General Tasks," click Refresh\Refresh All Chassis and Servers

4.)When the task completes, return to UCP Director web interfaceUCP Director web interfaceand click Refresh Server Inventory in the UCP Server Inventory table

5.) The UCP display of current power states for all blades should be corrected

15051 Restoring the configuration on a Brocade switch can cause the switch to not send anytrapsIf users try to take a backup of the switch and restore back the configuration on the Brocadeswitch, the SNMP agent on the switch will get removed.

The next topology scan will fix the issue. It will detect that there is no SNMP agent on switchand create the SNMP agent.

15232 Running Ethernet switch inventory refresh enables CDP feature on Ethernet switches eventhough the feature is disabled on switchesThe UCP orchestrator service settings are stored in its web.config on UCPManagementVM. Oneof settings in this file is 'enableCDPonVirtualSwitch'. This has default value of 'true' andEthernet switch inventory refresh operation enables CDP setting on switches based on'enableCDPonVirtualSwitch' setting.

Confirm the user installation does not require enabling CDP on the Ethernet switches. Changethe 'enableCDPonVirtualSwitch' setting to 'false' in UCP orchestratorservice's web.config.Rerun Ethernet switch inventory refresh.

15242 If VPC Domain can disable on one of the Cisco 5K switches, it will cause both switches tobecome the Cisco switches to get disconnected from external networkIf VPC domain gets disabled on one of UCP's Cisco switches due to some out of band activity,the other switch will remain connected to the network outside of the appliance till the nexttopology scan. However, on UCP's next topology scan, UCP will recreate the VPC peer linkbetween UCP's two Cisco switches. This will cause the VPCs to become inconsistent betweenUCP's Cisco switches, and all uplinks to the outside network will be disabled.

Manually recreate VPCs to the outside network via a SSH client.

15305 If Fibre Channel switch refresh happens during the same time as a server reboot then theFC switch cache might get invalidated for that serverDuring server reboot, if a FC switch refresh happens concurrently then the FC switch cachemight remove zones for that particular server from the cache. This might lead to storageattach operation failing immediately after the host comes back up.

Refresh FC switch inventory after the server reboot, this will update the cache with the zoneinformation for the server.

15948 vSphere web client runs older version of UCP after re-installIntermittently after an uninstall and reinstall of UCP web client might still run the older versionof UCP.

Delete "com.hds.ucpdirector.service" and "com.hds.ucpdirector.ui" from folder "C:\ProgramFiles\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\server\work\org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.deployer_3.0.3.RELEASE\staging\global\bundle" and re-register UCP.The new version of UCP webclient will get picked up.

16139 Trusted domain users cannot be restricted to vCenter resources at any level lower than theroot.When a trust relationship is established between an existing domain and UCP, users from theexisting domain can be added to administrative OU groups within the UCP domain. However,their privileges to vCenter objects cannot be restricted to any datacenter, folder, or cluster.

Users from trusted domains must always be granted access at the root level of vCenter.Individual privileges can be restricted, but this will apply from the root-level on down theinventory tree.

16197 Configure host network when switches are in initializing state, fails but job event doesnot clearly specify whyConfigure network on server host requires the Ethernet switch inventory in UCP need to havecomplete information about host to Ethernet switch connectivity.

Refresh Ethernet switch inventory, wait for 30 seconds and then rerun 'configure hostnetwork'

16319 Setting weak SNMP passwords for Cisco Ethernet switches succeeds task, but fails toconfigure SNMP settings on the switchOn a UCP instance, a user can input a weak authentication/privacy password for Cisco Ethernetswitches. The task will report as success, but the switch will not be configured with the suppliedpassword. This will cause all SNMP collection tasks to fail (SNMP traps, performance, health) forthe Ethernet switch.

Use an Authentication/Privacy Password that meets the following criteria:

1.) It cannot be based on a dictionary word - example: "Password1"

2.) It MUST include multiple characters of at least three of the following classes: lower caseletters, upper case letters, digits and special characters

3.) It cannot have repeated characters of three or more times consecutively

16661 Detach/Delete volume fails after tearing down replication group.When a replication group is deleted or a replicated volume is removed from a replication group,users may not be able to detach and/or delete the underlying volumes as the volumes stillbelieve that they are being replicated.

Wait up to 24 hours for for HDvM to resync with the storage array or use HDVM UI to resyncwith the array. It should be noted that forcing HDVM to resync with the array will degradeperformance of the array for several minutes up tomore than an hour.

17490 Removing HUR replication group sometimes fails to remove journalRemoving replication group or replicated volume pair on HUR sometimes fails with error that"Cannot delete journal {journalId} since the journal is being used for replication".

Follow these steps to manually remove the journal volumes:

1.) Log into HDvM andmanually refresh the Storage system.Wait for the task to complete

2.) In HDvM, obtain the serial number of the storage system

3.) Open a PowerShell session using an account with UCP Admin role or vCenter Administratorrole

4.) Load the Hitachi.UCP.CLI

5.) Obtain the UCP instance with Get-UCPDirector CLI cmdlet

6.) Remove the Journal volume with the Remove-UCPJournal cmdlet, using the storagesystem id obtained earlier, and the Journal ID as shown in the previous failure event

18125 Setting DPM (Distributed Power Management) to Automatic can cause the hosts to stay inSuspended stateConfiguring an HA/DRS cluster with DPM (Distributed Power Management) set to Automaticcan cause the hosts to go in a bad state. DPM causes unutilized hosts to go into "Suspended"mode. However, because UCP uses ESXi stateless, there is no disk to resume from and hostscannot come out of Suspended state.

Do not use the 'Automatic' setting when configuring Distributed Power Management for acluster of stateless ESXi hosts.

18405 Removing replication for a volume that is added to SRM protection group may fail afterremoving the associated test volume pairsAn attempt to remove replication for a volume that is added to SRM protection groupmay failafter removing the test volume pair but before removing the replicated volume pair. Thisleaves the volume pair in erroneous state.

Delete the SRM protection group or remove the volume from SRM protection group and retryremoving volume replication.

18410 PowerShell Session fail because session object reference is NULLOn a UCP instance, various jobs will start to fail includingmonitoring, disaster recovery andattempts to gather information from VMware. These failures will all contains unexpected errorsand refer to an error number. In the Orchestration log files, messages surrounding theunexpected error number will refer to a NULL session value.

Theseprivileges were included in the following privileges for UCP v2.2. UCP Network Administratorprivilege, UCP Storage Administrator privilege and UCP Server Administrator privilegerespectively. If users had created a custom role that uses any of the UCP v2.2 privileges theywill not get the new UCP v3.0.1 privileges added by default.

Users can go into the edit role option in vCenter and add the new privileges.

18553 The Hitachi UCP Director Servers page may display an HCSM connectivity error while thereis an ongoing server firmware update procedure.When using the vSphere thick client, the Hitachi UCP Director Servers page may display anHCSM connectivity error while there is an ongoing server firmware update procedure. Thiserror message says "Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request. The serverinventory cannot be displayed due to a loss of connectivity with HSCM. Inventory details will berefreshedwhen HCSM connectivity is restored". This is a temporary state that will be correctedonce the server firmware update procedure is complete.

Use the vSphere Web Client to access the Hitachi UCP Director server inventory while there isan ongoing server firmware update procedure.

18721 Setting FC Privacy protocol to AES 128 not supported for 5460When setting the Priv Protocol of FC switches to AES128, the task succeeds without errors,and the 6510 SNMP configuration is properly set, but the 5460 SNMP configuration is set toPriv Protocol 3DES. This causes all refresh health and refresh FC Performance tasks to fail.

Use UCP Director to change the Fibre Channel privacy protocol to "NoPriv" or "DES"

18976 PathSelectionPolicy and SATP configuration gets set on ESXi server host after creatingESXi cluster using service templateESXiCluster service template requires server base host profile. When base host profile has both'PSP' and 'PSP, SATP' configurations not selected, the created ESXi cluster enabled these twosettings.

Manually disable these two configuration settings from the cluster host profile after clustercreation is complete. Then re-apply the host profile to hosts in the cluster.

19210 Apply service template fails when Ethernet feature is disabledApplying service template with Ethernet-Feature disabled is NOT supported. UCP has setting toturn OFF configuring any settings on Ethernet switches in inventory. This is available inEthernet-Switch inventory page as 'EthernetFeature' button.

19213 Cannot update site pair inventoryUCP Datacenter Director site pair inventory cache cannot be updated if any UCP site in site pairis down.

Ensure UCP Director is up and running at both sites.

19252 Test volume not created in a SRM Reprotect operationWhen a Reprotect operation is performed in SRM on a Recovery Plan, a Test volume is notcreated on the Recovery site. This prevents a Test operation to be run, however it does notaffect the successful outcome of a Disaster Recovery or PlannedMigration in SRM.

If a Test operation must be supported, create a new Replication Group in UCP DatacenterDirector, and in SRM create a new Recovery Plan to hold this Replication Group.

20505 vSphere web access error message when not using signed certificateWhen using the vCenter web client to access UCP from a client workstation that does notalready have a signed certificate installed, the operation will fail with the following error:“Content was blocked because it was not signed by a valid security certificate. For moreinformation, see “About Certificate Errors” in Internet Explorer help.”

On the client workstation, install a signed certificate. Either obtain a digital certificate from yourtrusted third party certificate authority (CA), or export a self signed certificate fromUCPManagement and import it onto the client workstation.

20721 Servers may loose I/O access to storage during firmware upgradeESXi hosts or bare metal servers may loose I/O access to storage for 14 seconds while updatingfirmware on an Access Fibre Channel switch.

For every host that accesses the target Fibre Channel switch, disable the two HBA paths thataccess that switch. Then update the firmware on the switch. Then re-enable the paths on thehosts. Repeat these steps for the other switch.

21302 No poolID value is displayed for HTI volumes immediately after creating a replicationgroup job

The poolID for Hitachi Thin Imaging (HTI) test volumes will not display a value immediatelyafter successfully creating a replication group job because it can take some time to generate.

Workaround:Wait 30 minutes for the poolID to be generated. You can also go to the UCPStorage System page and click on the Refresh Storage Inventory tab to generate one sooner.

252 Task/Event names in the VMWare web Client are not displayed as a friendlyname

Task/Event names in the VMWare web Client are not displayed as a friendly name. Thishas been reported to VMware support team and is not fixed in the current release ofVMware 6.0

992 Cannot remove IP pool range if identities are in use

An IP pool range can be addedwhen the IPs in the range are currently in use, but an IPpool range cannot be removed if any of the IPs are in use.

1527 Journal resource utilization data is not captured in UCP

UCP Journal utilization is not being captured due to a bug in the code. This means thatthere is no warning generated when the Journal utilization goes above 80%. Apart fromthis, there is a constant warningmessage in the UCP logs because the monitor serviceis unable to collect Journal Utilization data.

This issue is purely cosmetic and should not affect the other DR operations.

2813 If UCP Replication service is installed during installation but DisasterRecovery is not set up, and error is seen in the UCP logs

During UCP installation, if the option to install replication is selected, the installer willinstall the Replication Manager Service and also add a registry key indicating DR is setup. During UCP storage operations, if the registry key is set, UCP tries to contact the DRservice to check which volumes are being used in replication and this call fails causingan error to be seen in the logs.

This should not affect UCP operations.

3018 DOC UI becomes slow and unresponsive when one of the sites isunreachable

When one of the sites registered in DOC is unreachable, the DOC UI waits for apredetermined timeout to restore communication with the offline site, causing it tobecome slow and unresponsive.

4018 Cannot move server profile across racks with different VLANs in an L3configuration

In a UCP appliance with a Cisco 9k switches, if the 9332 ToR switches are configured inL3 mode with different VLANs across each rack, server profiles can be moved, but theserver will fail to boot since it has the incorrect VLAN set.

4038 Incorrect error message when trying to remove a server profile from a hostalready deleted from vSphere client.

When trying to remove a server profile from a host that has already been removed fromvSphere, an incorrect error message appears saying the server profile remove failedinstead of a warning which says that the host is not in vSphere inventory.

4116 UCP Director reports success while running configure network commandwith a reserved VLAN

When a user runs a configure network commandwith a reserved VLAN such as 1002(that is reserved for FCoE), the job reports a success. However, since the VLAN isreserved, UCP Director does not configure the VLAN on the switch.

4209 Performance aggregation jobs fail in UCP in rare conditions

Performance aggregation jobs fail in UCP in rare conditions due to an internal SQLexception

4329 Selecting multiple versions of same image package fails with administratorerror

The UCP Director's Images page does not correctly validate identical packages withdifferent versions when they are enabled via the API/UI.

The user should not enable two identical packages of different versions.

4335 DOC UI shows Hyper-V hosts as EsxiStateless

In the UCP 4.1 release, support for baremetal Hyper-V failover and failback was added inthe API and not in the UI. Hence the UI still shows Hyper-V hosts incorrectly asESXiStateless.

13886 The locale of the vCenter client used to access UCP Director should be the same asthe locale of the OS running on the UCP Management VMUCP Director can only be accessed in the language of the OS that is running on the UCPManagement VM. Currently UCP Director supports Japanese and English languages. If avCenter client tries to access UCP in a language that is different than the language ofthe UCP VM the format of events, alarms and tasks will not be accurate.

15095 Volume detaches from a cluster can intermittently lead to false failure messagesIf a user tries to detach multiple volumes that share the same storage pathconcurrently or immediately one after the other, the detach succeeds but it canintermittently throw a false failure message.

15162 Same server ID with different host names causes InvalidOperationExceptionEach server host in UCP server inventory is identified with server ID. If admin changesserver ID directly on the host after it boots into ESXi it's possible to assign server ID.Doing this will create conflict in vCenter server host inventory which in turn result inserver host being not correctly available to UCP. Each server host should have uniqueserver ID.

15540 Manual editing of HORCM files used for replication may cause replication to breakand be reported successfulUCP Disaster Recovery owns the HORCM file configurations used to setup replication. Ifthe HORCM files are editedmanually, UCP does not have the knowledge of knownstates andmay result in unpredictable behavior, such as breaking replication andcausing it to be reported as successful. Please do not modify the HORCM files used forreplication.

16013 Current image reads: "Updated" HitachiESXi image" if the image is clonedCurrent image might have the following text prepended "(Updated)" once the imagehas been cloned. This is an intermittent issue at VMware’s end.

16130 Ignore system partition failure errors when deploying windows using UCP servicetemplateDuring windows installation a warningmessage might popup on the console stating -“Setupwas unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing systempartition. See the Setup log files for more information.” or

The user should ignore these messages. UCP handles this error by rebooting the blade,loading the appropriate HBA driver, and dealing with MPIO issues and disk initialization.The user should not interfere by attempting other troubleshooting steps.

Uninstalling UCP Disaster Recovery fromUCP Director at a site that has been added to UCP Datacenter Director, without fullyuninstalling it from UCP Datacenter Director will result in an error when using thedisaster recovery feature of UCP Datacenter Director. Uninstalling UCP DisasterRecovery from UCP Datacenter Director will disable disaster recovery functionality inUCP Datacenter Director.

18035 Password for SCP server cannot contain the "@" characterFirmware update and switch configuration restore operations will not work on theBrocade switches if SCP password has an "@" character in it. Please use othercharacters when setting a new password.

18331 Replication will fail if the volume size is 1.2 GBIf user tries to replicate a volume that is 1.2 GB in size replication will fail as UCP doesnot detect the volume capacity accurately.

18612 The Hitachi UCP Director Status Monitor page occasionally displays an AMQPcommunication error messageThe Hitachi UCP Director Status Monitor page may occasionally display an AMQPcommunication error message in the All Events table. This error event says "Failed tocommunicate with the AMQP service at IP Address: 127.0.0.1". If the UCP System isregistered into a UCP Datacenter Director service, there is a small chance that theDatacenter Director service will not receive a monitor state message from the UCPsystem. This will be corrected during the next regularly scheduled UCPmonitor staterefresh task.

18648 Attaching storage volume between different OS version succeedsFor example, applying volume created earlier (not currently used by any Linux host) forLinux OS can be attached to non-Linux hosts. This is because UCP restricts only thecurrently in use storage volumes to be not shared across different OSs.

18848 Cannot view Performance Graphs on MacOpening up the performance graphs on a Mac results in an error popup, and the graphsdo not properly display.

19486 No monitoring support for depletion thresholds in HUS storage array familyWhen depletion thresholds are exceeded on a HUS storage array, monitoring statusshows "Normal" state. This is expected behavior since HDvM does not supportmonitoring for depletion thresholds.

20519 Identity conflict after removing server profile from serverRemove Server Profile removes the virtual identity from the server leaving the serveronly with physical identity. The physical identity of the server could have beenvirtualized to another server causing a an identity conflict.
