Issue:
Warning message that a Broadcom NIC is not fully certi
fi
ed to support NIC teaming
Description

may see a warning message noti
fi
cation stating
[0001] Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet is not fully certified for
supporting teaming.
Do you want to continue?

fi
cation can be ignored and the Create Team action can continue

Issue:
Online Volume Growth (OVG) in clusters is not supported using the HP StorageWorks Online
Volume Growth application
Description
The HP StorageWorks OVG application only supports single-head HP
StorageWorks NAS or ProLiant Storage Server systems; clusters are not supported.
If OVG was used to create a LUN on an EVA5000 and the storage server is later
con
fi
gured in a cluster, additional storage cannot be expanded for the LUN
using the OVG application.
Workaround
To expand the storage on the EVA LUN in a clustered environment,
fi
rst ensure
that Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is installed on the storage server.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 contains important
fi
xes for the Diskpart
utility. The preferred method for installing SP1 is by using the latest HP ProLiant
Storage Server Service Release (SR5.6 or later). Run Command View EVA on the
storage server to increase the size of a presented EVA LUN. Run the Microsoft
Diskpart tool to add the additional space to the volume.

.
Workaround
Not applicable.
Issue:
Server Management Software (SMS) event log on the DL100 G2 may report NICs backwards
Description
The SMS event log may report NICs in a different order than reported by the
operating system.
Workaround
HP engineers are working to resolve this issue. In the meantime, use the system
event log of the operating systems for the correct reporting status of the NICs.
