- Limitations
- Presenting an in-use storage volume to an unintended consumer may result in data loss
- Storage volumes must be managed by one SPM
- Required version of Brocade Network Advisor and HP B-Series Network Advisor
- Non-Brocade SAN environments must have unmanaged networks in SPM
- Importing a large number of volumes is time consuming and may result in failure
- HP 3PAR autonomic groups not supported in SPM
- SPM cannot import or resynchronize HP XP/XP P9000 disk array resources if they are locked by RWC
- Firmware for HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Systems
- Storage Provisioning Manager issues
- SPM installation fails
- Installation of SPM Storage Module fails
- User cannot log in to SPM
- The user is unable to login through the SPM user interface
- SPM does not launch in browser
- Issues with multiple SPM servers managing the same volumes
- Cannot import HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Systems
- Removing initiators from an existing HP 3PAR volume presentation may fail
- HP EVA arrays and/or HP XP/XP P9000 arrays are marked as Offline when they appear to be functioning correctly outside of SPM
- Modifying a catalog storage pool entry and unmasking the volume removes candidates
- SPM reports volume capacity in the wrong format
- Restart is required if SPM loses connectivity to an HP XP/XP P9000 disk array while it is attempting to access the array
- Importing a volume (LDEV) with exactly 256 presentation paths does not succeed
- SPM may mark an array offline when a volume is deleted during on-demand provisioning
- Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Mode must be disabled
- One of multiple simultaneous template edits fails
- No matching candidates found
- Services provisioned using HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System may become nonconformant after upgrade to SPM 2.2
