Update recommendation
HP recommends that you upgrade to HP P6000 Command View 10.3.1 if HP P6000 Command
View 10.3 is installed already. If HP P6000 Command View 10.3.1 is already installed when HP
P6000 Command View 10.3.1 installation is initiated, HP P6000 Command View 10.3.1 will be
installed again.
NOTE: HP P6000 Command View 10.3 with EVA to 3PAR Online Import feature installed is a
prerequisite for installing HP P6000 Command View 10.3.1 patch.
If HP P6000 Command View 10.3 is not installed before installing HP P6000 Command View
10.3.1, the installation fails. The following error message appears:
The HP P6000 Command View Software Suite 10.3 needs to be installed on

HP P6000 Command View
This section contains information about the enhancements, fixes, licenses, compatibility and inter
operability, and work arounds and limitations for HP P6000 Command View 10.3.1.
Enhancements
The following enhancements are made in this version of HP EVA to 3PAR StoreServ Online Import:
EVA to 3PAR Online Import introduces an option to select between secure and non-secure
connection mode while adding destination 3PAR StoreServ storage system.
For preparation and data transfer failure, EVA to 3PAR Online Import introduces a specific
error message from the destination 3PAR StoreServ storage system that might appear along
with the existing generic message.
Probability of preparation phase failure is reduced since delay is introduced between
presentation of virtual disks from HP P6000 EVA storage system to HP StoreServ storage system
and the preparation process. This provides some time for virtual disks to appear on the HP
StoreServ storage system.
NOTE: Patch 3.1.2 P16 supports a new self-signed 2048-bit RSA SSL certificate for HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage. Upon completion of the upgrade to this patch, a new self-signed SSL certificate
will be created. HP 3PAR Remote CLI clients, HP 3PAR Management Console, 3PAR Recovery
Manager, and/or any other client applications communicating to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
system over SSL must be upgraded to newer versions to use the new certificate.
Known Issues
When EVAPA is installed on a Windows 2012 server, the following message appears in the
Windows application log: The application (PostgreSQL 9.0 from vendor
PostgreSQL Global Development Group) has the following problem: To
function properly, PostgreSQL 9.0 must be reinstalled after you
upgrade Windows.
This is a warning message and has no impact on EVAPA performance.
If the CVEVA time is set using the NTP server in some time zones, the time is not set accurately
as per the local time zone. The CVEVA time can be set to the browser time instead of the NTP
time.
Intermittent delay might be experienced in the EVAinfo command execution at times.
Issues resolved
The following issues are resolved in this version of HP Storage System Scripting Utility:
HP HP-UX 11.23 PI/11iv2 (64b Intel), HP HP-UX 11.31/11iv3 (64b Intel) - Fixed an issue in
which SSSU was crashing on HP-UX IA-64 systems due to OpenSSL library mismatch.
HP OpenVMS 8.4 on Alpha and Integrity servers - Fixed an issue in which executing the
CODELOAD and WAIT_UNTIL commands was causing SSSU to crash.
The following issues are resolved in this version of HP EVA to 3PAR StoreServ Online Import:
Preparation fails when there are maximum characters for virtual disk or host name at the
source P6000 EVA storage system - Truncation of the volume, host, or host set name is done
up to the maximum characters that are supported on the destination 3PAR StoreServ storage
system.
Migration completion timestamp on virtual disk comment at source P6000 EVA storage system
differs from the timestamp on Virtual volume comment at destination 3PAR StoreServ storage
system. There is no comment on the host that was created during the migration process -
HP P6000 Command View 5
Comments are now updated with relevant timestamp for virtual disk and host on P6000 EVA
storage system, and virtual volume and host on 3PAR StoreServ storage system.
Memory used in Command View navigation tree was not released - Fixed an issue with
Command View where memory used by the array objects in Command View navigation tree
was not released.
Evaperf application shutdown throws exception - Fixed an issue in which Evaperf application
shutdown throws an exception.
