Issue 7: While entering the Server Administrator command line "omreport system version -outc ", ensure that you specify an absolute path name for the output file, for example, "c:\out.txt" else, the output file is empty. Issue 8: Entering the "omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog -fmt tbl" command on the CLI can result in XML parsing errors if the size of the log is very large. Use the GUI or the "omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog" CLI command to view the contents of the log.

For more information, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633001.
Issue 2: When running Server Administrator, crypt32.dll errors may be written to the operating system Application Event log.

Internet Explorer 8 has a new security feature called "Loopback security check" which prevents NTLMbased authentication from the local machine. This feature blocks users from performing any set operation in Server Administrator if they are logged in using single sign-on (SSO), (clicking the Server Administrator desktop icon) on Internet Explorer 8. Issue 17: DF380725: On IE or Firefox Web browsers, you cannot attach files to an e-mail if the filename contains non-ASCII letters.
Issue 23: DF532055: From Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, when an administrator manages Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 (64-bit) or 5.7 (32 and 64-bit) operating systems, Server Administrator reports connection error intermittently.

Issue 13: Patrol Read is not supported on SSD media. The Patrol Read feature fails for any controller that has SSD media on a virtual disk. Issue 14: Hot plug of enclosures takes time to enumerate the enclosure and its components.
Solution: Use a supported browser other than Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x or use the Storage Management command line interface (CLI) to create the virtual disk. See the Server Administrator readme for information on supported browsers. See the Storage Management online help or the "Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide" for information on using the Storage Management CLI. Issue 20: DF152362: Storage Management may not display controllers installed with the Service and Diagnostics utility.
Issue 27: 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 window, rather than launching the selected option. Issue 28: If a physical disk in a RAID 1-concatenated virtual disk fails, the virtual disk is in a "Degraded" state. The Check Consistency operation should not be performed on a virtual disk while it is in a degraded state.
