RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS
#####################################################################
* Base folder utility, which holds the root folder for Dell hardware
and the views for other management packs to group under.
* The Diagram view of the EqualLogic PS Series arrays displays
realistic icons for the various components modeled by the EqualLogic
Storage management pack.
=====================================================================
Security Consideration for Dell EqualLogic Storage management pack
=====================================================================
When you discover EqualLogic PS Series arrays for first time on any system,
there is a delay of 40-45 seconds for devices to appear in the Diagram View
if the system does not have access to the Internet. The delay occurs
because in the .NET Framework 2.0, when the CLR loads Dell EqualLogic
Helper assembly into a process, if the CLR finds an Authenticode signature
(which involves a Certificate), it generates Publisher Evidence from it
and validates the Certificate by contacting the issuing authority to ensure
the Certificate has not been revoked. When validating the Certificate,
the operating system scans the chain of Certificates and tries to download
the Certificate Revocation List from a server on the Internet. If you do not
have Internet access or the network is too slow, then this process is delayed
- thereby delaying the start of the Dell EqualLogic Helper.
Note: When you disable signature verification, the .NET Framework 2.0
managed application no longer receives publisher evidence. This behavior
affects the .NET Framework 2.0 managed application only when you use
publisher evidence or the PublisherIdentityPermission class.
To disable the signature verification,
* Edit the file DellEQLHelper.dll.config under the Library folder where
Dell EqualLogic Storage Management Pack Suite v4.0 is installed.
* Change the value of generatePublisherEvidence to "false"
