Release Notes

• 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.
• DF152362: Storage Management may not display controllers installed with the Service and
Diagnostics utility.
Description: Storage Management may not recognize devices that are installed after
Storage Management is already running.
Solution: If Storage Management does not recognize a newly-added device and this
problem has not been corrected with a Global Rescan, then reboot the system.
• DF120475: Storage Management SNMP traps are not filtered by Server Administrator.
Description: Server Administrator allows you to filter SNMP traps that you do not want to
receive. To implement SNMP trap filtering, select the "System" tree-> "Alert Management"
tab-> "SNMP Traps" subtab. The "SNMP Traps" subtab has options for enabling and
disabling SNMP traps based on severity or the component that generates the trap. Even
when the SNMP traps are disabled, Storage Management generates SNMP traps.
Solution: SNMP trap filtering will be provided in a future release of Storage Management.
