Clariion Consistency Group name - length limitations bug - See here for info

Test failover ran fine.. actual failover "failover of luns failed"..

 

Noticed in the logs that the name of the CG assigned seems to be cutoff...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#1 Clariion Consistency Group name - length limitations bug - See here for info[003828]10/05 10:48:10 327Failover.cpp @000070 PromoteConsistancyGroups CG_for_LUN235_VM_SATA_30B_Mirro(Array:APM000) normal promote failed. Error Details: The Mirror Group name specified cannot be found

Is this a function of logging, or is there a maximum # of characters for the name of the CG?

Re: Clariion CG name maximum length

 

Making the name much smaller fixed the issue.. woohoo!

 

 

 

 

 

If anyone knows the actual limit, that would be great.

Re: Clariion CG name maximum length

 

I followed up with our vmware rep who contacted EMC.

 

 

Clariion has a limit of 32 characters for the CG names, however the solutions enabler API trims the last two characters from the name. A bug report has been filed with the EMC API team to address the issue, and the current work around is to trim your CG names to 30 characters or less.

 

 

An EMC KB article and possibly a vmware one as well) will soon be released regarding this, and EMC will have the fix ready in the upcoming release of solutions enabler.

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully this info. will help someone out there. Thanks.
