A Task Menu Option Is Not Displayed

You may notice that the task menus do not always display the same task options. Some tasks are only valid for certain

types of objects or at certain times. For example, a Check Consistency task can only be performed on a redundant virtual

disk. Similarly, if a disk is already offline, the Offline task option is not displayed.

There may be other reasons why a task cannot be run at a certain time. For example, there may already be a task

running on the object that must complete before additional tasks can be run.

Storage Management May Delay Before Updating Temperature Probe Status

In order to display the enclosure temperature and temperature probe status, Storage Management polls the enclosure

firmware at regular intervals to obtain temperature and status information. On some enclosures, there is a short delay

before the enclosure firmware reports the current temperature and temperature probe status. This may cause a delay in

displaying the correct temperature and temperature probe status.
