Release Notes

Issue 14
Description
Hot plug of enclosures takes time to enumerate the enclosure and its components. During this time, there will be a delay in
the response time of tasks, such as displaying the physical disks on the physical disk page and in the virtual disk selection
page.
Issue 15
Description
All virtual disks from the SAS/iR controller display the name "IR Virtual Disk" on the "Preview" page. On successful import,
another name is assigned to these virtual disks and the "IR Virtual Disk" name is not displayed on the "Preview" page.
Issue 16
Description
Storage Management supports assignment of only one dedicated hot spare for a virtual disk on SCSI Controllers.
Issue 17
Description
Storage Management does not permit connecting the first enclosure in single path and attaching the subsequent enclosures
in multipath. All enclosures must be connected in multipath to enable the multipath view.
Issue 18: An error message may not display when "Import Foreign Configuration" task is not successful.
Description
The "Import Foreign Configuration" task can only import virtual disks that have consistent data. A virtual disk with
inconsistent data cannot be imported. When importing multiple virtual disks in a single operation, however, the "Import
Foreign Configuration" task may report successful completion even when inconsistent virtual disks are present and have not
been imported successfully.
Resolution
If the "Import Foreign Configuration" task is unable to import an inconsistent virtual disk, then the physical disks that belong
to the virtual disk continue to display a "Foreign" state after the "Import Foreign Configuration" task completes. In this case,
repeat the "Import Foreign Configuration" task until one of the following occurs:
• There are no longer any physical disks in "Foreign" state after the "Import Foreign Configuration" task completes.
• You receive an error stating that the "Import Foreign Configuration" task has not completed successfully. This error
indicates that there are no longer any consistent virtual disks available to be imported. Therefore, all unimported
virtual disks are inconsistent and you can either perform a "Clear Foreign Configuration" to remove the virtual disks
or remove the physical disks from the controller.
Issue 19 60696: Storage Management responds slowly when using Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x on a system with mixed SAS and
SATA physical disks.
Description
When using the "Create Virtual Disk" wizard from the Storage Management graphical user interface (GUI), you may notice
decreased performance when using Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x on a system with multiple Dell PowerVault(TM) MD1000
storage enclosures that are heavily populated with mixed SAS and SATA physical disks.
