Release Notes

• 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-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version is displayed as outdated and a yellow bang is shown on such hardware configurations.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-63561 : On YX4X generation of PowerEdge servers, while doing the "Reconfiguration" operation, "Auto Configure 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 YX4X 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 YX4X 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 YX3X 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.
• JIT-72304 : Able to assign lesser capacity physical disk as a DHS to the virtual disk created with physical disk having higher capacity.
• JIT-80085: The alert descriptions, in the online help, for Set Available Spare Warning Threshold and Set Available Spare Critical
Threshold show "The Available Spare Warning Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to %1" and "The Available Spare Critical Threshold for
PCIe SSDs is set to %1" respectively, instead of "The Available Spare Warning Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to <value>" and "The
Available Spare Critical Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to <value>".
• JIT-80079: On a system with S140 controller, when prepare to remove operation is performed on a non-RAID NVMe drive, the Virtual
disk bus protocol for the VD associated with that drive is shown as SATA, instead of PCIe SSD.
• JIT-97576: On systems running Vmware ESXi operating systems for BOSS controller, an alert is displayed as rebuild completed which
requires service restart to log the alerts.
• 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.”
