Known problems

1. When Hitachi Automation Director (HAD) opens a new browser window instance,

such as when you launch Service Builder, closing the new window may cause

intermittent display issues in the original HAD window. If you encounter this issue,

close the main HAD window and start HAD again.

2. HAD does not support Internet Explorer in Modern UI mode.

3. If you use the zoom function with the browser, some HAD information may not

display correctly. To resolve this issue, refresh the window.

4. If you are using HAD Service Builder, you must ensure that the Flash Player plug-in

in enabled within the browser.

5. When using Internet Explorer 10 and 11 with HAD, new browser sub-windows may

open behind the main parent window. For example, when you open the Help

screen, it opens behind the main window.

6. You cannot change the logical host name of the active or standby HAD server after

you set up a cluster environment. To change the logical host name of either HAD

server, you must reinstall HAD and set up the cluster again.

7. HAD does not support the File Import feature of Service Builder when you are

using a Firefox browser on Linux and SSL is enabled for HAD server/client

communication.

8. HAD v8.1.3 or earlier does not function properly with HDvM v8.1.4 or later. To use

HDvM v8.1.4 or later, you must update HAD to v8.1.4 or later.

9. Device Manager Connections will show an error status for any HCS v8.1.4

connection. However, the connection is valid and the status automatically changes

to green when you submit a service request.

10. When running Tasks using the Allocate Volumes with Snapshot (Thin Image)

service, be aware of the following:

-In cases in which you specify an existing host when you configure backup host

settings, the following may occur:

If you specify a Backup Server host that does not belong to a Host Group, the V-Vol

Provisioning step fails. If you want to specify a Backup Server host, you must

allocate volumes to the host within the Resource Group that will be used in the

Allocate Volumes with Snapshot (Thin Image) service, or create the Host Group in

advance by using Storage Navigator.

-In cases in which you specify a Host Group when you configure backup host

settings, the following may occur

If you specify a Host Group name and the host group does not exist, the task

creates a new host group. The newly created Host Group may be assigned from a

Resource Group that is outside of the Infrastructure Group of the Service.

Regardless, the created pair functions correctly. If you don't want to assign the

Host Group from a Resource Group outside of the Infrastructure Group of the

Service, create a new Host Group in advance by using Storage Navigator.

11. When you specify the Performance condition in parameter only in the Storage Port

of Resource Criteria in the Allocate Volumes for Symmetric Cluster Server from 2

Storage Systems service, the specified Performance condition is not applied for

volume allocation for Secondary storage systems.

12. Device Manager v8.2.1 and the following HAD templates versions do not work

together:

Allocate Volumes with Snapshot (ThinImage) - 01.14.00, 01.20.01

Allocate Volumes with Replication - 01.20.01

If you use Device Manager with HAD v8.2.1, update these templates to v01.21.00.

After the update, the template name changes to Allocate Volumes with Clone

instead of Allocate Volumes with Replication.

13. When using "VSP G600/G400 and VSP F600/F400", the virtual storage system

array type displays up to 25 characters only.

14. When using Chrome with HAD Service Builder, you cannot copy and paste a step.

If you want to copy and paste a step, please use Internet Explorer or Firefox.

15. When running the following service, include one or more Device Manager Resource

Groups installed on the same management server as Replication Manager, which is

operating in normal mode for the Infrastructure Group assigned to the service.

- Allocate Like Replicated Volumes on Existing Copy Topology

- Allocate Replicated Volumes on Existing Copy Topology

- Allocate Replicated Volumes on New Copy Topology

16. When running Tasks using the Allocate Replicated Volumes on Existing Copy

Topology service or Allocate Replicated Volumes on New Copy Topology service, be

aware of the following:

-In cases in which you specify an existing host when you configure TI Volume

Settings-Host Settings, the following may occur:

RN-92HC206-11 (May 2016)

If you specify a host that does not belong to a Host Group/iSCSI Target, the V-Vol

Provisioning step fails. If you want to specify a host, you must allocate volumes to

the host within the Resource Group that will be used in the service, or create the

Host Group/iSCSI Target in advance by using Storage Navigator.

-In cases in which you specify a Host Group/iSCSI Target when you configure TI

Volume Settings-Host Settings, the following may occur:

If you specify a Host Group/iSCSI Target name and the host group/iSCSI target do

not exist, the task creates a new host group/iSCSI target. The newly created Host

Group/iSCSI Target may be assigned from a Resource Group that is outside of the

Infrastructure Group of the Service. Regardless, the created pair functions correctly.

If you don't want to assign the Host Group/iSCSI Target from a Resource Group

outside of the Infrastructure Group of the Service, create a new Host Group/iSCSI

Target in advance by using Storage Navigator.

17. The Allocate Like Replicated Volumes on Existing Copy Topology service and the

Allocate Replicated Volumes on Existing Copy Topology service fail when you

specify a source copy topology that includes one or more copy groups under any of

following conditions. Please use Device Manager or Replication Manager to avoid

this problem.

Before installation, verify that none of the following directories include links:

- HAD installation directory

- /opt

- /var

- /var/opt

- /etc

- /etc/opt

For other Installation Precautions, see the Hitachi Command Suite Automation

Director Installation and Configuration Guide.

Usage precautions

- When adding pairs to an existing Copy Group, the status of the CTG Option

matches the setting in the existing Copy Group.

- When creating a new Copy Group, there are enough CTG IDs to create generations.

If the existing Copy Group status doesn’t match the specified value in the Copy Pair

Settings, the system generates error message KAIA00212-E (*1).

If there are not enough CTG IDs to create generations, the system outputs the error

message KAIA00213-E.

*1: The following message is embedded in details:

RPM-05004 A parameter is invalid. (parameter = OpCopyGroup.assignCtg, value

= {true|false})

6. When you apply the following service templates (01.21.00 or later) to an older

version of the service (01.20.01 or earlier), save the service in the Edit Service

window at least once to update the Host Settings property information before

running the service.

- Services that allocate volumes

- Services that allocate volumes and add to an Oracle database

- Services that allocate volumes and create a datastore on a VMware vSphere

7. When upgrading the management server operating system on which Hitachi

Command Suite is installed, you must remove Hitachi Command Suite first.

This process applies to the following:

- All operating systems

- When upgrading to a minor or major version. (For example, if you upgrade from

Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2, you must remove Hitachi Command Suite.)

(a) Remove Hitachi Command Suite.

(b) After upgrading the operating system, install a Hitachi Command Suite version

that supports the upgraded operating system.

(c) Migrate the Hitachi Command Suite database.

8. Do not assign Resource Groups that contain pools that are configured from parity

groups for which Accelerated Compression is enabled to the Infrastructure Group of

In Oracle Integration service. Doing so may cause data writing to fail due to lack of

free capacity.

9. When using full volume allocation, add pools that are configured from parity groups

for which Accelerated Compression is disabled.

10. You must validate TLSv1.0 by SSL by using the Hitachi Command Suite setting for

the "Allocate Volumes and Create Datastore on VMware vSphere" or "Allocate Like

Volumes and Create Datastore on VMware vSphere" service template as follows:

a) Add "TLSv1" to the "ssl.protocol" property of the Hitachi Command Suite

installation folder/Base64/conf/init.propeties file.
