Issue 14: 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: 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: Storage Management supports assignment of only one dedicated hot spare for a virtual disk on
SCSI Controllers.
Issue 17: 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 appear 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.
Solution: 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 virtual disks that are not imported 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: DF60696: 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 MD1000 storage enclosures that are heavily populated with mixed SAS and
SATA physical disks.
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.
