Release Notes

• 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 Tasks 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.
• JIT-3897 (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.
• JIT-10452 (BITS236815): Occasionally, the virtual disk creation process on PERC 9 hardware controllers may fail on GUI and
CLI. Workaround: Restart the server to resolve this issue.
• BITS055347: On systems running the ESXi 5.1 or later operating system, the “Device Name” for all virtual disks will be displayed
as a blank. This is an expected behavior on systems running the ESXi 5.1 or later operating system.
• JIT-8321 (BITS220411): Unable to create Partial Secure virtual disk using the GUI when all the available SEDs are selected. This
operation will work if any other physical disk, which is not a part of any virtual disk, is connected.
• JIT-11205 (BITS242664): When a physical disk, which is a part of multiple partial virtual disks, is reinserted into the system, the
status of the partial virtual disks will be displayed on Storage Management after a short delay.
• JIT-8442 (BITS221272): Few enclosure alerts such as Enclosure power on/off and Fan removal, does not appear if the
enclosure is connected to the server using a SAS 12 Gbps HBA card. Restart Data Manager Service to update component
status.
• JIT-15099 (BITS262349): NVMe Slot Occupancy Report for PCIe SSD displays inaccurate PCIe SSD slot count. The report
displays four PCIe SSD slots instead of two PCIe SSD slots. This issue is applicable for the Server having less than 4 NVMe slot
count, like M/FC630, M/FC830, M620 and M820 blades.
• JIT-10933 (BITS240247): Storage Management does not display the Device name on a system where there more than 300
virtual disks.
