Release Notes

• BITS148893: When creating a virtual disk on PERC S130 (software RAID) controller, if you do not select the first 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 verifies the first available option under DHS, leaving the other options
unverified 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 configuration. 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 configuration 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/off 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-10933 (BITS240247): Storage Management does not display the Device name on a system where there more than 300 virtual
disks.
• 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-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.
• 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 configurations. 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 fine 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 configuration 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
