Release Notes

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-10933 (BITS240247): Storage Management does not display the Device name on a system where there more than 300 virtual
disks.
• 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version is displayed as outdated and a yellow bang is shown on such hardware congurations.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-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-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.
• JIT-72304 : Able to assign lesser capacity physical disk as a DHS to the virtual disk created with physical disk having higher capacity.
• JIT-94666: For Non-RAID drives attached to SWRAID controller enumerates for virtual Disk layout as Non-RAID. Whereas on Storage
Management GUI, when you click on virtual disk name the physical drives does not display as Non-RAID.”
• JIT-96670: On systems running VMware operating systems if the sfcbd-watchdog is stopped abruptly before completion of the SNMP
traps for storage task is logged. Semaphore leak is observed.
Workaround: Run the sfcbd-watchdog until SNMP traps for storage task is completed.
