Release Notes

presence of multiple PCIe Extender cards on the system.
• BITS124349: Firmware version for SAS 9207_8e, SAS 9206_16e, and SAS 9300_8e, will not be
displayed on the Storage Management GUI and CLI.
• BITS123999: SAS 9300_8e is not supported on systems running the VMware ESXi operating system.
• BITS128355: The slot occupancy report displays single backplane ID and backplane name in the
Storage Management GUI and CLI. The physical disk slot occupancy report for PCIe Subsystem
displays NVMe devices present in two different PCIe backplanes under the same PCIe backplane on
PowerEdge R920 servers. The NVMe devices connected to different PCIe backplanes are displayed
correctly under Storage --> PCIe-SSD Subsystem --> PCIe-SSD Extender --> Enclosure.
• BITS146054: The enclosure automatically sets the critical and default warning thresholds. The user
cannot set or reset any warning threshold to any temperature probe through the Storage
Management GUI or CLI.
• On a PowerEdge server with maximum configuration of 8 populated enclosures connected to the
PERC hardware controller, the user can experience a delay in response. When Server Administrator
storage commands such as Create Virtual Disk or Start check consistency are run, the delay in
response can range from 10 – 30 minutes.
• BITS148893: When creating a virtual disk on PERC S130 (software RAID) controller, if you do not
select the first option under “Assign Dedicated Hot Spare” a message appears: “DHS not assigned to
VD". When you create a virtual disk on a software RAID controller using the “Create Virtual Disk”
wizard, the GUI control only verifies the first available option under DHS, leaving the other options
unverified even if it is selected.
Resolution: The Dedicated Hot Spare assignment can be performed through the following,
“System” --> “Storage” --> “Controller” --> “Virtual Disk” --> Under the respective virtual disk
Tasks” drop-down list, select “Assign/Unassign Dedicated Hot Spare”.
• BITS161852: The limitation is observed when two enclosures are connected to two ports of PERC
H830 controller. The limitation is not observed when the enclosures are connected in a daisy-chain
configuration. In the “Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard” screen, enclosures and physical disks
are listed together. The user must select only the physical disks and not the enclosures when
creating a virtual disk using the “Advanced Wizard” option.
• BITS140465: When the user tries to create another partial virtual disk of any RAID level, on an
existing, but degraded disk group, Storage Management does not allow the user to perform this
action. This limitation occurs because Storage Management does not support this functionality.
However, this limitation is only observed on certain PERC 9 family of hardware controllers (PERC
H330, H830, and H730).
Workaround: The user can create a partial virtual disk during system restart using the CTRL+R
configuration utility.
• BITS190786: For encrypted SED drive, "omreport storage vdisk" CLI command displays the
Encrypted status as "Not Applicable" whereas the GUI displays the correct result.
• BITS190283: Though Adaptive Read Ahead option appears on the Storage Management console
(GUI), it is no longer supported on PERC 9 family of hardware controllers. Even if a user selects
Adaptive Read Ahead on the Storage Management console, the PERC hardware controller
automatically sets the option as Read Ahead.
