Known Issues and Workarounds for Storage Management
Service
• With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management Service Advanced Create Virtual Disk Wizard
may occasionally result in text overflowing to the bottom of the side-by-side blue text boxes.
• View slot occupancy report shows 4 HDD slots on backplanes with just two HDD slots for any server.
• Physical disk clear operation is not available on PERC 8 family of controllers.
• Physical disk properties such as Manufacture day, Manufacture week, and Manufacture year are available for SAS drives only.
• Creating many sliced span virtual disks using the spun-down drives through the command line or GUI result may be delayed.
• Workaround: After creating one sliced span virtual disk, wait for some time to create the next sliced span virtual disk.
• A Security Key Identifier can contain numerals, lowercase alphabets, uppercase alphabets, nonalphanumeric characters (except
space), or a combination of any of these.
NOTE:
If you have used the special characters ”/” (forward slash) or “ ‘ ” (single quote) in the Security Key Identifier, they
are displayed as “_” (underscore) on the Change Security Key page and Import Secured Foreign Configurations
page. This is applicable only to the Security Key Identifier and not to the Passphrase.
• If Storage Management displays a path failure message for a Logical Connector after a reboot, use the Clear Redundant Path View,
provided in the Change Controller Properties controller task, and restart the system.
NOTE:
Use this command only if you have intentionally removed the multipath connection while rebooting the system.
• In the VMware ESX 4.x and ESX 5.x environment, when you create a virtual disk using Storage 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.
