Release Notes

section in the Dell Active System Manager Version 7.5 Quick Installation Guide are unclear. The
following commands require the user to be in the same directory as the Windows ISO. In addition, the
last command should not include the first “/”.
mount -o loop <Windows_ISO_name>.iso /mnt
rsync -av /mnt/ win2012
/umount /mnt
Resolution/Workaround: To mount and unpack the .iso regardless of the directory the user is in, run
the following commands:
mount -o loop /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<windows_ISO_name>.iso /mnt
rsync -av /mnt/ /var/lib/razor/repo-store/win2012
umount /mnt
Issue 27: The Edit Directory Services dialog box displays incorrect information about the protocol
used for Active Directory (AD) services. The “Plain” protocol is always displayed, even if the service is
set to “SSL”.
Description: While editing an Active Directory (AD) service, the Edit Directory Services dialog box
always displays the Plain protocol, even if the directory service is set up and uses SSL protocol. This
can cause issues when importing Active Directory users for this service.
Resolution/Workaround: To make sure the correct setting, for SSL simply select SSL and save the
directory service settings, and then re-import users. If you want to use Plain protocol, first set the
protocol to SSL, and then from the drop-down list select Plain protocol again, save the settings, and
re-import users. Therefore, the correct protocol is used, even if ASM GUI does not display correct
protocol.
Issue 28: ASM displays incorrect information about EQL storage details. Storage pool information is not
accurate.
Resolution/Workaround: Make sure that information about storage pools is retrieved from actual
EqualLogic Management GUI for the storage being managed.
