Dell EMC OpenManage Release Notes
Version 9.3
The following section describes the issues and workaround in Server Administrator Storage Management.
Known Issues and Workarounds for Storage
Management Service
• With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management Service Advanced Create Virtual Disk Wizard
may occasionally result in text overowing to the bottom of the side-by-side blue text boxes.
• Physical disk clear operation is not available on PERC 8, PERC 9, and PERC 10 family of Hardware controllers.
• Physical disk properties such as Manufacture day, Manufacture week, and Manufacture year are available for SAS drives only.
• Creating many sliced span virtual disks using the spun-down drives through the command line or GUI result may be delayed.
• Workaround: After creating one sliced span virtual disk, wait for some time to create the next sliced span virtual disk.
• A Security Key Identier can contain numerals, lowercase alphabets, uppercase alphabets, nonalphanumeric characters (except space),
or a combination of any of these.
NOTE
: If you have used the special characters ”/” (forward slash) or “ ‘ ” (single quote) in the Security Key Identier,
they are displayed as “_” (underscore) on the Change Security Key page and Import Secured Foreign Congurations
page. This is applicable only to the Security Key Identier and not to the Passphrase.
• If Storage Management displays a path failure message for a Logical Connector after a reboot, use the Clear Redundant Path View,
provided in the Change Controller Properties controller task, and restart the system.
NOTE
: Use this command only if you have intentionally removed the multipath connection while rebooting the system.
• In the VMware ESXi 6.x environment, when you create a virtual disk using Storage Management, you may see an error message "The
task failed to complete: The create virtual disk task was successful but the operating system may not be aware of the new virtual disk."
However, the virtual disk is available for all operations on rebooting the system.
• Patrol Read is not supported on SSD media. The Patrol Read feature fails for any controller that has SSD media on a virtual disk.
• Hot plug of enclosures takes time to enumerate the enclosure and its components. During this time, there will be a delay in the
response time of tasks, such as displaying the physical disks on the physical disk page and in the virtual disk selection page.
• All virtual disks from the SAS/iR controller display the name IR Virtual Disk on the Preview page. On successful import, another name
is assigned to these virtual disks and the "IR Virtual Disk" name is not displayed on the "Preview" page.
• Storage Management does not permit connecting the rst enclosure in single path and attaching the subsequent enclosures in
multipath. All enclosures must be connected in multipath to enable the multipath view.
• An error message may not appear when Import Foreign Conguration task is not successful.
• Description: The Import Foreign Conguration task can only import virtual disks that have consistent data. A virtual disk with
inconsistent data cannot be imported. When importing multiple virtual disks in a single operation, however, the Import Foreign
Conguration task may report successful completion even when inconsistent virtual disks are present and have not been imported
successfully.
