Release Notes

•
• JIT-72304: Able to assign lesser capacity physical disk as a DHS to the virtual disk created with physical disk having higher capacity.
• JIT-16919 (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version is displayed as outdated and a yellow bang is shown on such hardware congurations. This issue does not cause any
functionality limitation.
• JIT-43557 : In Split Mode, Slot occupancy report displays inaccurate empty slots when there are no drives connected to the backplane.
The report shows the message empty slots interchanged between controller. This issue occurs for the server with no drives attached
to the backplane in split mode only. Slot occupancy report works ne as expected for servers with a minimum of one drive.
• JIT-52091: Cryptographic erase operation might take longer time to be visible in the dropdown list for the ISE Capable SATA SSDs after
this operation is done.
• On a PowerEdge server with maximum conguration of 2 populated enclosures connected to the PERC hardware controller, the user
can experience a delay in response.
• 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-58147: In the BOSS-S1 controller properties, slot ID is displayed as "Embedded".
• If the background IO is in progress, "Prepare to Remove" operation for the NVME devices might fail.
• From 14G onwards, no Channel/Connector information will be displayed under “PCIe SSD Subsystem”. Enclosure/Backplane will be
directly connected to the “PCIe SSD Subsystem”. There is no change in the display of “NVMe Devices ( Arraydisk ) and Add-On Card
( HHHL Card )”. NVMe Devices ( Arraydisk ) will be displayed under “Enclosure / Backplane” whereas Add-On Card ( HHHL Card ) will
be displayed under “PCIe SSD Subsystem”.
• JIT-60971 : In OMSA, the empty slots in slot-occupancy report is not displayed after "prepare to remove" operation is performed on the
servers with one or more PCIe Backplane.
• JIT-61216 : Unable to create virtual disks (Raid 0, 1, 5) using Advanced Wizard if NVME add in card is present
Description: In PERC S140 advanced wizard, virtual disk creation fails if a combination of NVMe and HHHL addin cards(AIC) are
present.
This issue is observed if the PCI slot ID of the add-in card (AIC) matches with the NVMe drive slot number. However, if only NVMe
drives are used, you can successfully create the virtual disks. This is because the GUI code is unable to dierentiate the slot ID/number
in Create Virtual Disks Advanced Wizard.
NOTE
: This issue does not cause any data loss. The RAID-5 on S140 with NVMe drives is not supported.
Solution: To resolve this issue, you can create a virtual disk using the Create Virtual Disks Express Wizard and OM-CLI.
• JIT-63561 : In Dell’s 14th generation of PowerEdge servers, while doing the "Reconguration" operation, "Auto Congure RAID0" option
is listed in OMSA under H730P controller's "Available tasks". It happens during RAID level migration from RAID1 to RAID0.
• JIT-71918: On 14th generation of PowerEdge servers when connected with two SAS 12Gbps controllers in Slot4 & Slot5 and each
controllers are connected with separate MD1400 enclosure, both Enclosure EMMs are listed under “Connector 0” and no device is
listed under “Connector 1 ”. Slot-4 SAS 12Gbps controller is connected with two redundant EMMs which are listed in “Connector 0”.
Slot-5 12Gbps controller is also connected with two redundant EMMs, but both are listed under “Connector 0”.
• JIT-71919: On 14th generation of PowerEdge servers when connected with two SAS 12Gbps controller in Slot4 & Slot5 and each
controllers are connected with separate MD1400 enclosure, with two redundant cable i.e. EMM0 & EMM1, then with redundant EMM
both enclosures are listed for EMM0 & EMM1, but physical disks are not displayed for EMM1. Slot-4 SAS 12Gbps controller is
connected with two redundant EMMs – Here both EMMs are listed under “Connector 0”, and for EMM0 physical Disk is listed and for
EMM1 no physical disks are listed. Slot-5 SAS 12Gbps controller is connected with single EMM (ie.EMM1) – Here one EMM0 is listed
under “Connector 0”, and for EMM1 physical Disk are listed.
• JIT-78857 : Successful Prepare to remove and reinsertion operation on a drive for 3-4 times, will result in all the drives getting removed
and inserted back in ESXi 6.5 U1 operating system.
• JIT-79925 : On 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, OMSS reports for PCIe Link Speed is negotiated and maximum link speed/width
shows '0' for Slot 1 device.
• JIT-76259: EMMI alert description for Dedicated hot spare assigned physical disk should contain meaningful alert description instead of
the statement, This alert is provided for informational purposes.
