Release Notes
• JIT-16740: OMSS storage connector information for HBA330 Adaptor is incorrect. If connector A and B is connected to a
corresponding backplane SAS-A & B port, OMSS is displaying all the physical disks under Connector-1 and none under Connector-0.
This issue does not cause any functionality limitation.
• JIT-4248: Inconsistent behavior while enumerating physical disks connected to MD3060e enclosure. MD3060e enclosure is
unsupported by OMSS hence no need to show
any drives exposed via 12 Gbps HBA.
• JIT-31342: Virtual disk creation on Software RAID S130 controller with multiple Dedicated Hot Spare (DHS) assigned displays an error
message. Assigning DHS is unsuccessful only when the user selects more than one DHS during virtual disk creation. There are no other
issues observed during virtual disk creation.
Workaround: After the virtual disk is created, you can assign multiple DHS to the virtual disk by selecting the “Assign Dedicated Hot
Spare” task from the “Available Tasks” drop-down menu of the virtual disk.
