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.

1. Configure TCP Chimney offload to disable state by running following command:
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
2. Configure RSS (Receive Side Scaling) to disable state by running following command:
netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
3. Configure NetDMA to disable state by running following command:
netsh int tcp set global NetDMA=disabled
Known Limitations and Workarounds for Storage Management Service
Issue 1: With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management Service
Advanced Create VDisk Wizard may occasionally result in text overflowing to the bottom of the side-by-side
blue text boxes.
Issue 2: View slot occupancy report displays four HDD slots on backplanes with just two HDD slots for any
server.
Issue 3: Physical disk clear operation is not available on PERC 8 family of controllers.
Issue 4: DF489665: Max Config: OM on ESXi 4.1 U2 Experiences Timeouts and very poor performance.
Description: When using ESXi with a large number of directly attached disk drives, delays or timeouts in
OpenManage Storage Manager may be encountered during VD creation. PowerEdge servers support up to
two RAID controllers. Each array controller supports up to eight MD1200/1220 enclosures. In the case of
Server Administrator 7.0 and earlier versions with ESXi, max direct attach storage configs will timeout
during VD creation. To create a VD using ESXi it could take up to 12 minutes to successfully build the XML
output for up to 200 drives. If more than 200 drives exist in the direct attach enclosures you may encounter
a timeout error during VD creation. "The action performed has failed."
Solution: Improvements are being investigated as part of the upcoming OM releases. Until then the
number of direct attached drives must be reduced to below 200 if the timeout is encountered. Please allow
sufficient time for the VD to be created.
