Release Notes

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.
• When issuing certain "omconfig storage" CLI commands with "Power User" privileges, the
"Error! User has insufficient privileges to run command: omconfig" message may be
• displayed. You must be logged on as an Administrator to perform these actions.
• Using the Storage Management Service "Advanced Create VDisk Wizard" may occasionally
result in a vertical scrollbar of less than normal width. If this occurs, resizing the Server
Administrator window causes the vertical scrollbar to be redrawn correctly.
• Using the GUI, if a virtual disk is renamed to a name containing multiple blank and
consecutive spaces, the name is truncated to a single space after "Apply" is clicked.
• BITS118226: The representation of NVMe devices residing on backplanes that attach to
PCIe Extender cards is inaccurate on Storage Management. This is because Storage
Management does not have a process to understand the mapping of the NVMe device,
backplane, and the PCIe Extender card. This issue exists only on PowerEdge R920 v1.1
servers and does not impact the operations on the NVMe device. Multiple backplanes on
Server Administrator indicates the presence of multiple PCIe Extender cards on the
system.
