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

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.
