Release Notes

Known Issues
This section provides information on open issues and resolutions with this release of Active System
Manager 8.3.
Issue: ASM-1469 : The puppet agent fails to install on Cent OS v6.4. The Cent OS v6.4
cannot mount the appliance's CIFS share in order to download the rpm.
Description : The samba-client needs to be installed on the linux VM for the
mount to work, but it is not installed. In RHEL 6.5, samba-client is installed by
default but not on Cent OS v6.4.
Resolution/Workaround : The problem occurs when you use the minimal
ISO. It does not contain the samba-client. You should make sure that the full
ISOs are used.
Issue: ASM-1674: Invalid password error when trying to create a User, Credential, or
Service Template Component.
Description : Known issue when using FireFox Remember Password feature.
If FireFox detects that you type in a value that matches the Remembered
password it passes a blank value rather than the typed-in value. So the second
time you try to type the same password value for the same type of entity in
ASM, if the password you enter matches the previously used value for that
type of entity then the system will be passed a blank value for the password.
Resolution/Workaround : Add an exception to FireFox to not save passwords
for ASM URL. Perform the following steps:
1.
Start Firefox.
2.
Go to Tools -> Options .
3.
Click on the Security tab.
4.
If you already have saved passwords for your ASM appliance, click the
Save Passwords button, select your ASM Appliance URL and click
Remove , then click Close .
5.
Exit out of FireFox options.
6.
The next time you log into ASM and enter a password for one of these
fields, when prompted to Remember passwords for the site click the
drop-down arrow and choose
'Never Remember Passwords for This
Site'.
NOTE: This is a browser/system specific setting, so if multiple users are using
your ASM appliance all users will need to make sure to disable
Remember
Password
for ASM Appliance URL.
Issue: ASM-1894
: ASM is unable to distinguish volumes with the same names in different
Compellent folders.
Description : ASM cannot distinguish volumes with a same name in different
folder in a Compellent inventory
Resolution/Workaround : Ensure that you provide unique names for volumes
used by ASM in your Compellent inventory.
Issue: ASM-2144 : Server with bare hard drive fails to get HddSeq set properly
Description : If you choose SD boot and the server has a bare hard drive (not
connected through a RAID controller) the HddSeq may fail to get set properly,
Leaving the bare hard drive at the top of the list. The server may boot off the
bare hard drive instead of the SD card where the operating system was
installed.
Resolution/Workaround : None
