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:

– There are no longer any physical disks in Foreign state after the Import Foreign Configuration task completes.

– 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. 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 Virtual Disk 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 servers and does not impact the

operations on the NVMe device. Multiple backplanes on Server Administrator indicate the 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.
