SR2122-2 IP Storage Router Release Notes

Storage array rules

Without HP Secure Path the Enterprise Virtual Array is supported with the SR2122-2
accessing only one EVA controller port. This will disable controller failover protection.

The SR2122-2 fibre channel ports appear as host bus adapters to the Fibre Channel
switches and to all storage arrays.

Fibre Channel switch/fabric rules

The SR2122-2 should only be zoned with the storage devices that it will access. Zoning
the SR2122-2 with other servers is not supported.

Disable useBport when connecting the SR2122-2 to C-series switches using MDS
switch firmware v2.01b or later.

Disable useBport when connecting the SR2122-2 to B-series switches running switch
firmware 3.2.x or 4.4.x or later. Enable useBport for switches running other firmware
versions.

Management software rules

OVSAM support is limited to property support only. It will identify the device, and by
clicking on it, one can launch the device embedded web server interface or telnet. A device
specific plug-in for the SR2122-2 is available on the OVSAM Website.

CIM 7 Supports the SR2122’s SNMP management capabilities.

Management of the storage arrays through the SR2122-2 is not supported. Please use the
recommended application/element manager to configure the storage array.

Updates/Fixes for this release of firmware

Fixes include:

Memory (mbuf) leak during handling of Async event (RX_LR) during handling of FCIP
link failure.
A memory leak and potential router crash would occur because of a mishandling of a link
failure during an unstable FCIP connection. This problem would never appear during
normal FCIP operations and is fixed in this release.

An SR2122-2 would “panic” when a standard MIB II polling engine, such as the HP
OpenView Network Node Manager, attempted to SNMP poll the SR2122-2.
