Known Issues
This section describes the known issues related to theSANWorks Director Connectivity
Manager Software.
Duplicated Call-home Events When Configuration Is
Modified
Under specific conditions, the Remote Notify Server (RNS) can send duplicate call-home
notifications to the Compaq Services Gateway (CSG). The following steps illustrate the
problem:
1. In the rns.properties file, the CSGIpAddress property is configured to
something other than the desired and correct CSG IP address.
2. One or more call-home events occur, either real or test events.
3. The CSGIpAddress property is configured to the correct IP address.
4. Another call-home event occurs, either real or test event. That event, along with all
previous events, will be sent to the CSG. (This is correct behavior).
5. Another call-home event occurs, either real or a test event. This event, along with the
previous events, will be sent. This is where duplicate notifications occur. When
working correctly, the previous events do not need to be sent.
If the CSGIpAddress property is configured correctly at the beginning, this problem
will not occur. The work around is to clear the NT Application event log on the SDCM
Server, after receiving the duplicate events.
6 SANworks Director Connectivity Manager (SDCM)
SDCM Laptop Server COM1 Port
The current SDCM Server laptop has locked the COM1 port and reserved the port for
other use. The port is not configurable or accessible by the user, and thus cannot be used
for such applications as HyperTerminal. Therefore, do not attempt to use the SDCM
Server laptop serial port to interface to a SAN Director 64 maintenance port.
Open Systems Management Server
Under the SDCM Product Manager > Hardware View menus, the "Configure >
Management Server. . ." menu option will result in a pop-up dialog. This dialog states
"This feature has not been installed. Please contact your sales representative." This
feature is not currently available.
