Release Notes

• 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:
○ 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.
