Release Notes

you must restart the server after using the Auto Configure RAID0 operation to ensure that all the physical disks in Ready state are
created with RAID 0 volumes.
• BITS268181: When a user creates a virtual disk using the GUI, physical disks are not listed under Dedicated Hot spare (DHS). So, the
user will not be able to assign DHS while creating a virtual disk.
Workaround: After creating the virtual disk, the user can assign DHS using the Assign/Unassign Dedicated Hot spare virtual disk
operation.
• BITS270856: On Precision 7910 running a client operating system (for example, Windows 8.1 x64), the PERC 9.3 driver version is
displayed as outdated and a yellow bang is shown on such hardware configurations. This issue does not cause any functionality
limitation.
• BITS271311: If you create RAID 50 or 60 configuration with 22 or 26 physical disks using the CLI, the operation is unsuccessful. This
issue is observed on all the operating systems and is limited to only RAID 50 or 60 configuration with 22 or 26 physical disks.
Workaround: To resolve this issue, you can create RAID 50 or 60 configuration using the OMSS GUI.
