- Problems
- QCCR1A111431:
Cannot open graphs from HP Operations Manager 9.01 64-bit
user
interface.
Workaround:
HP Performance Manager 9.01 requires 'Adobe Flash Player' to be
installed in the browser. Download and install the 64-bit flash player
from the website: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ or access
performance graphs using the Operations Manager Web console.
- QCCR1A39284:
The "Next" Button in Data
source Selection page does not work as expected.
Description:
In the design wizard, after selecting data source, clicking the 'Next'
button to navigate to the next screen does not work unless the mouse
cursor is moved away from the button once.
Workaround:
Move the mouse cursor away from the 'Next' button once and click the
'Next' button again.
- QCCR1A39338:
Editing a saved system comparison graph does not allow the user to
change the metric.
Description:
When you edit a system comparison graph from the design wizard, you
cannot change the metric which appears selected.
Workaround:
From the Metric Selection screen, remove a metric and add another
metric which you want to use for system comparison.
- QCCR1A59473:
Required disk space reported by the Performance Manager
installer is
wrong.
Description:
During the process of installation, the installer displays the disk
space requirements. But the value displayed by the installer is
incorrect and much lesser than the actual disk space required. If the
actual disk space on the system is less than the required amount
specified here, the installation fails.
Workaround:
See the "Hardware
Requirements" section in the
HP Performance Manager Install, Upgrade and Migrate Guide for
the actual disk space values required.
- QCCR1A88927:
HP Performance Agent returns wrong End Date for proxy
logfiles kept
under /var/opt/perf/datafiles.
Description:
When proxy log files or extracted log files are used as data source,
the graphs display incorrect values for 'end date'.
Workaround:
Do not save the proxied log file in the location /var/opt/perf/datafiles.
The graph displays correct values when you save the log file in any
location other than /var/opt/perf/datafiles.
- QCCR1A112522:
Performance Manager fails to open URL when username
parameter is passed
in Chinese.
Description:
Launching URL-based graphs by passing user name parameter in Chinese
locale fails on Performance Manager 9.01.
Workaround:
The URL parameters should be encoded to UTF8 format if it includes
non-ASCII characters.
- QCCR1A92902:
User unable to add multiple sub node groups if one of the
sub groups
already exists.
Description: User unable to add sub node groups with similar name under
different groups. "An error message appears stating that the node group
already exists. Choose a different name".
Workaround:
You have to select refresh after adding a sub node group. The newly
added sub node group is displayed.
- QCCR1A113730:
OvAutoDiscovery Server does not start up after upgrading to
OvJREB-01.06.006 on the HP Operations Manager for Windows server
Description:
OvAutoDiscovery Server does not start up on installing HP Performance
Manager 9.01 on HP Operations Manager for Windows 8.10 due to heap size
mentioned in the registry key.
Workaround:
To resolve this issue on an HPOM for Windows 8.16 or 8.10 system with
latest server patch level (OMW_00070) except OMW_00071, modify the
following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OvAutoDiscovery
Server\JavaOptions in such a way that the value "Options" is now set as
"-Xms16m -Xrs". On an HPOM for Windows 8.16 or 8.10 system with server
patch OMW_00071, no action needs to be taken as this value is already
set.
- QCCR1A115349:
When HP Performance Manager and HP Reporter are installed
on the same
system, HP Performance Manager does not automatically detect HP
Reporter configuration.
Description: The TYPE
and PORT parameters are not
correctly updated in the OVPMconfig.ini.
Workaround:
The following parameters need to be updated manually in the OVPMconfig.ini:
Reporter database type [Example: TYPE= oracle
or TYPE=
sqlserver], Reporter Database
port number [Example: PORT=1433].
For more information, see Integrating
with HP Reporter section in
