    Release Notes Operating System and NAS Web Interface Upgrading the NAS Server Software • The procedure for upgrading the NAS server software is presented here. You can also obtain the most recent upgrade instructions from the support web site at: http://www.hp.com/support/nas. To upgrade the software: 1.
  • Page 4 UPS Settings • If you connected your HP NAS 8000 to the optional APC Symmetra UPS during installation, the NAS server attempts to communicate with the UPS through a LAN connection. Please follow the directions for the Symmetra to configure it first. Once it is configured, you can make the HP NAS 8000 aware of it by entering the information in Command View NAS.
  • Page 5 • Do not attempt to join a domain in which the controlling primary domain controller (PDC) does not have a WINS entry on the WINS server. This may lead to the NAS server not being able to join any domains in the future, even if the WINS entry is entered later. •...
  • Page 6 • On an HA system, users may run into difficulty deleting a volume group if they delete the failover package containing the volume group without first deleting any file volumes on that volume group. A volume group cannot be deleted without first removing all file volumes that it contains. However, once a package has been removed, any associated file volumes will not be visible/deletable.
  • Page 7 • Share passwords must be created in identical order on each node. Share-level security is not suggested for an HA cluster. • In an HA environment, the mappings that are done on one node must be duplicated exactly on the second node. The mappings from one node are not propagated to the second node automatically.
  • Page 8 LUN Management • Do not use another storage array management tool, such as Command View SDM, to delete LUNs associated with NAS 8000 volume groups. Once a volume group is created and associated with a LUN, it is recognized by the NAS 8000 user interface, and must be managed from it to ensure that you do not lose data.
  • Page 9 Storage Quotas For Users and Groups • In quotas, the user/group list is not filtered. Therefore, it is possible to add a user/group quota for a user/group that already has a quota. In this case, the previous user/group quota is overwritten. •...

    Adding Storage • To get a current, accurate representation of the available storage after adding new storage (arrays or LUNs), click on Actions > Scan for New Storage in Command View NAS. Clicking the Refresh button on the array summary page will not result in newly added storage being detected and displayed by the interface.
  • Page 11 • The CA Unicenter topology map may report a NAS 8000 as a NAS 8300. Double click on the icon, select object details, and change the “name” field to NAS 8000. • In an HA environment, CA Unicenter reports the first package IP address discovered as the IP address for the cluster.

    • The Windows security data (ACL) is often cached for a SMB connection. If the files are overwritten by a restore operation modifying the ACL data, the new ACL data may not be visible until a new SMB connection is established. Backup Using the OmniBack II 4.1 Agent for NAS 8000 •...

  • Page 13: Nas Data Path Manager

    NAS Data Path Manager LUN Ownership • If a path failure or series of path failures causes a LUN ownership change between controllers on an EVA array, failed paths that were originally configured as load balancing paths may be activated as failover paths when their connectivity is restored. This is because LUNs cannot be accessed through both controllers at the same time.
