Release Notes

Management, you may see an error message "The task failed to complete: The create virtual disk
task was successful, but the operating system may not be aware of the new virtual disk." However,
the virtual disk is available for all operations on rebooting the system.
• Patrol Read is not supported on SSD media. The Patrol Read feature fails for any controller that has
SSD media on a virtual disk.
• 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
Release Notes 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.
