Common issues

HP Storage Essentials SRM SAP ACC Integration Library call fails.

1.

If the SAP ACC process does not perform the “sapacosprep storage Library function

AcDetachSr/AcAttachSr” operation, make sure that storage resource for this instance is

configured as type “SR” and that Partner ID field is set to HP.

2.

Ensure that the “sapacosprep -diag” call does recognize the HP Library “libsapacosprep_hp.dll”.

If the library is not listed during the sapacosprep -diag operation, the installation of this library

might be incorrect. Best action is to re-install the integration library using the Application

Integration Software for SAP ACC.

3.

If the libsapacosprep.dll cannot communicate with HP Storage Essentials SRM SAP ACC

Integration core, ensure that the Integration Core service is running on the HP Storage Essentials

SRM server. Another potential issue can be that the registry keys on the managed node for the

integration library is incorrect. The best way to check this is to reinstall the integration Library

using the Application Integration Software for SAP ACC.

4.

If the HP Storage Essentials SRM server IP address or listener port for the Application Integration

Software for SAP ACC changes, it would be necessary to reinstall all host agents to update the

registry key information.

Provisioning errors

The Service processor (SVP) for the storage array is locked. This is the most common error. Ensure

that users are not using the service processor for array modifications. Recommend them to use HP

Storage Essentials SRM for any changes. This will also ensure that HP Storage Essentials SRM is

always in sync with the array configuration. If the hardware maintenance is in progress, it will not

be possible to perform SAP ACC operations, due to exclusive access requirements for hardware

changes.
The Web Console user has a Lock on the array. Please use HP Storage Essentials SRM to perform

any necessary array configuration changes where possible, and limit the time required to exclusively

lock the array using the Web console. Any provisioning operations during this time will fail, due to

the exclusive lock.

An element in HP Storage Essentials SRM is reported as “(missing)”

On a regular intervals, HP Storage Essentials SRM will check hardware accessibility of all

discovered elements. If a communication error exists on this Element, HP Storage Essentials SRM will

mark the element as “(missing)”. Any subsequent operations on this element will fail, until the issue is

solved and the element is rediscovered.

HP Storage Essentials SRM is out of sync with managed host or storage array

Any manual operation on a managed node or a Storage array, without a rediscovery from HP

Storage Essentials SRM, will result in an out-of-sync condition. Application Integration Software for

SAP ACC relies on HP Storage Essentials SRM to have up-to-date information on the managed node

and storage array, and if the information is out-of-sync, the Application Integration Software for SAP

ACC will report incorrect information. To avoid this situation perform Step 2 below. Step 1 is

optional.
