Release Notes

Area Description
System Functionality The current vSphere Web Client plugin, Compellent Integration Tools for VMware (CITV 3.1),
does not support FluidFS v6 systems. A plugin that supports FluidFS v6 is planned for an
upcoming release.
The Dell Storage Manager client might lose connection to the Data Collector if it has been up
and running for a period of time. If a connection loss occurs, the following error is generated:
Unable to obtain Jdbc connection from DataSource.
Workaround: Apply the Microsoft fix, which can be downloaded from https://
support.microsoft.com/kb/2577795
Certain Internet Explorer versions (for example, IE 11.0.9600 running on Windows 2008 R2)
cannot retrieve MIB files from the management FTP.
If the firmware update stalls at 0% and other management operations are not available,
contact Dell Technical Support and reference KB SLN302683.
During a controller reboot, errors similar to Internal hard error occurred might
display on the Dell Storage Manager client. These errors can be ignored and should not display
again after all the controllers are available.
System Management Clusterization cannot be performed if IPv6 multicast packets are not passed through the
switch on the interconnect network.
The Directory Quota Edit Rule online help page is missing. If you click Help on that page, an
error similar to Help Not Found is generated. See the Dell Storage Manager
Administrator’s Guide, which contains the same help information.
Troubleshooting General diagnostics summary files larger than 200 MB might not transfer using SupportAssist
and might need to be downloaded from the FluidFS cluster.
