aaaaaand the link doesnt work again
Yeah we were planned to upgrade this weekend but I'm going to decline. Per the last response I got it looks like a NOPE. Metadata issues on the new code still. Sure seems like 3.3.1 isn't fully baked...

Bulletin: HPE 3PAR StoreServ May Report SD Metadata Inconsistent State Can Occur on Compressed Volumes
NOTICE: The information in this document, including products and software versions, is current as of the Release Date. This document is subject to change without notice.

Last Updated: 2017-09-15
DESCRIPTION
For systems running any version of HPE 3PAR OS 3.3.1 that have Compression or Dedup+Compression (DECO) volumes, there is a small chance of an issue occurring that can cause a Compression or DECO volume to be in a metadata inconsistent state. If this occurs, an alert is generated with the message showing the impacted volume and "Failed (SD Meta inconsistent)." For systems connected to HPE Remote Support, a case will be created, and you will be contacted for remediation. If you are not connected to Remote Support, contact HPE support so that a case may be created. For all reported cases of this event, HPE has repaired the metadata, and there have been no lasting effects on user data.
Until a permanent resolution is installed on the system, HPE advises NOT to create any Compression or DECO volumes.
For answers to any questions you may have, contact your HPE Services representative.
SCOPE
All HPE 3PAR StoreServ systems running HPE 3PAR OS versions 3.3.1-EGA or 3.3.1-MU1 with Compression or Dedup+Compression (DECO) volumes containing data are affected by this issue.
RESOLUTION
This issue will be resolved in an upcoming HPE 3PAR OS Maintenance update or patch.
WORKAROUND
When HPE has the case for the "SD Meta inconsistent" issue, HPE support engineering will work with you to take action to repair the inconsistent metadata.
