Release Notes

• JIT-108887: On Storage Management, observes intermittently malformed alert log showing “XML Data generated for the selection
made is not well formed” on systems running ESXi operating system.
Work around: Restart sfcbd service.
• JIT-119082 : On multipath mode, if clear redundant path option is performed immediately after removing the enclosure cable, few
minutes of delay is observed on Server Administrator GUI to refresh.
Recommendation : It is recommended to wait for the Redundant path broken alerts before performing the clear redundant path. If in
case Server Administrator page delay is observed, wait for few minutes to return to the normal state page or restart the service.
• JIT-120251: The foreign physical disks connected to the system, on reaching the maximum number of supported virtual disk by the
controller is displayed on the Import Preview page as Orphan Drive.
• JIT-117872: On performing the unblink operation on physical disk connected to 12Gbps SAS HBA, observing both health and activity
LEDs light turn o.
• JIT-121226: Storage Management is enumerating connector health status as HHHL AIC status in SWRaid NVMe conguration. Correct
health status of HHHL card is seen on HHHL enumeration page.
• JIT-121358: The Cryptographic erase capable for SATA SED drives is displayed as no in the physical disk attribute. However the physical
disk task will have the ‘Cryptographic erase’ operation and there is no functionality impact.
• JIT-125130: On deleting the encrypted virtual disk created with SED disks on EKM enabled controller, the ‘Encrypted’ physical disk
property attribute of SED disks is shown as ‘Yes’ instead of ‘No’.
• JIT-125128: When an encrypted virtual disk, created on server with EKM enabled controller, is hot plugged in a server with non-EKM or
LKM enabled controller, the foreign conguration wizard shows blank page instead of listing all the foreign congurations.
• JIT-125116: When the controller is in EKM mode the controller properties attribute ‘Encryption Key Present’ displays the value as ‘No’ in
both command line interface and graphical user interface instead of the attribute value ‘Yes’.
• JIT-125085: Encrypted virtual disk creation option is not available on virtual disk creation wizard on server with EKM enabled controller
even though supported SED disks are present. Virtual disk can be secured using tasks under virtual disk dropdown after the virtual disk
creation.
• JIT-126849: When MD14xx series enclosures are connected in cascaded format to RAID external controller, Blink and Unblink
operations performed from CLI fails on the second position enclosure. The same enclosure can be blinked from GUI.
• JIT-123278: Server Administrator does not display the hot-plug in or out alert for drives on the servers with HBA330 controllers. The
entries corresponding for the drives removed are displayed on the Physical Disk page. However, the newly inserted drives are displayed
in the Physical Disk page.
• JIT-127080: When the user tries to create a RAID50 or RAID60 virtual disk on a server that already has a RAID 50 or RAID 60 virtual
disk which has been created by using all the disks and with a disk span more number than the default value, the size suggestion for the
new virtual disk using Express wizard is dierent from the value displayed in advanced wizard.
Installation Prerequisites
Storage Management does not display controllers and their features on systems that do not meet the driver and rmware requirements. At
Storage Management runtime, you can determine whether the system meets the rmware requirement or not, by checking the application
log les for notications on outdated rmware. At runtime, On SCSI controllers, Storage Management displays the rmware version at
runtime while on SAS controllers it displays the rmware and driver versions.
