group, but the target host security group is deleted when the first command is completed, and the second command returns an error.

If you need more time for HiCommand Device Manager to respond, you can increase the amount of time the management server waits, by modifying the cimom.provider.hds.ProvisioningTimeout property. To change the provisioning timeout property:

1.Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health, and then click Advanced in the Disk Space tree on the management server.

2.Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.

3.Copy the following text:

cimom.provider.hds.ProvisioningTimeout

4.Repeat step 1 to return to the Advanced page.

5.Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties box. How you paste the text depends on your Web browser. If you are using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, right-click the box and select Paste.

6.Make any necessary changes in the Custom Properties box. Change the value of the cimom.provider.hds.ProvisioningTimeout property. (Note that the value is in milliseconds.) For example, assume you want the management server to wait an hour. You would assign 3600000 to cimom.provider.hds.ProvisioningTimeout, since

3600000 milliseconds is one hour. For example:

cimom.provider.hds.ProvisioningTimeout=3600000

7.Click Save.

Initiator Ports Cannot Be Used for Provisioning

Ports designated as an initiator on a storage system belonging to the HDS Freedom Storage™ Lightning 9900™ Series or Freedom Storage Lightning 9900V Series cannot be used for provisioning. If you select one of these ports, you receive a message saying that provisioning failed because the HiCommand Database was not refreshed. The management server does not support provisioning for ports designated as initiators on these storage systems.

Mapping Issue on HDS 9900V Storage Systems

On HDS 9900V storage systems, if a host is already mapped to a volume and you try to map the same host to a volume in another host storage domain, corresponding to the same port, it will fail. However for HDS 9900, the host can be mapped to a volume in another host storage domain corresponding to the same port.

A Default LUN Number Is Used Instead of a User-Specified One

When you create a LUN, the user-specified LUN is ignored. The LUN is created with the next available default number.
