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.
In addition, upgrades to 3PAR OS 3.3.1 MU1 are on hold due to a separate issue that affects the upgrade process to 3.3.1 MU1
The above response is the current status from GDC when requesting the 3.3.1 MU1 upgrade today...
