Release Notes
If Storage Management displays a path failure message for a Logical Connector after a
reboot, use the "Clear Redundant Path View", provided in the "Change Controller
Properties" controller task, and restart the system.
NOTE: Use this command only if you have intentionally removed the multipath connection while rebooting
the system.
In the VMware ESX 4.x and ESX 5.x environment, when you create a virtual disk using
Storage Management, you may see an error message "The task failed to complete: The
create virtual disk task was successful but the operating system may not be aware of the
new virtual disk." However, the virtual disk is available for all operations on rebooting the
system.
Patrol Read is not supported on SSD media. The Patrol Read feature fails for any controller
that has SSD media on a virtual disk.
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.
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.
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.
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:
o
There are no longer any physical disks in "Foreign" state after the "Import
Foreign Configuration" task completes.
o
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.
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 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.
