Release Notes

• 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.
• 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 dierent PCIe backplanes under the
same PCIe backplane on PowerEdge R920 servers. The NVMe devices connected to dierent 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 conguration 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 rst 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 veries the rst available option under DHS, leaving the other options unveried
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 conguration. 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 conguration utility.
• 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/o 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.
• JIT-15612 (BITS264534): If a server has only software RAID S130 controller (no PERC controllers) and the operating system is booted
through the same controller, the user will not be able to set the Remaining Rated Write Endurance threshold using the Server
Administrator GUI.
