Issues for Storage Management Service
The following are open issues regarding the Storage Management Service.
Storage Management Service Issues for all Supported Operating Systems
Issue 1:
Description: When issuing certain "omconfig storage" CLI commands with "Power User" privileges, the
following message may be displayed: "Error! User has insufficient privileges to run command: omconfig"
Resolution: You must be logged in as an Administrator to perform these actions.
Issue 2:
Description: On a Windows Server 2003 system, it is recommended that you update to Service Pack 1 or
later. Service Pack 1 is required to support SAS technology.
Issue 3:
Description: Invalid "Format and Check Consistency" options are displayed for regenerating a virtual disk.
When a physical disk in a virtual disk is rebuilding, the virtual disk changes to a "Regenerating" state. The
Format and Check Consistency operations should not be performed on a virtual disk that is in a
"Regenerating" state. However, the task drop-down menu for a "Regenerating" RAID 1-concatenated virtual
disk may display the "Format and Check Consistency" options. Dell is working to resolve this problem.
Issue 4:
Description: If a physical disk in a RAID 1-concatenated virtual disk fails, the virtual disk is in a "Degraded"
state. Rebooting the system may cause the virtual disk to change to a "Failed" state, but the virtual disk is
still fully-operational and can be restored to "OK" status once a functional physical disk is added back to
the RAID-1 set. Dell is working towards resolving this issue.
Issue 5:
Description: Using the Storage Management Service "Advanced Create VDisk Wizard" may occasionally
result in a vertical scrollbar of less than normal width. If this occurs, resizing the Server Administrator
window causes the vertical scrollbar to be redrawn correctly.
Issue 6:
Description: Using the GUI, if a virtual disk is renamed to a name containing multiple blank and
consecutive spaces, the name is truncated to a single space after "Apply" is clicked.
Issue 7:
Description: When the "Open in a New Window" option is selected in the Storage Management Service
Advanced Create VDisk Wizard, the current page is opened in a new Swindow, rather than launching the
selected option.
