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-3897 (BITS190786): For encrypted SED drive, omreport storage vdisk CLI command displays the Encrypted status as
Not Applicable whereas the GUI displays the correct result.
• BITS190283: Though Adaptive Read Ahead option appears on the Storage Management console (GUI), it is no longer supported on
PERC 9 family of hardware controllers. Even if a user selects Adaptive Read Ahead on the Storage Management console, the PERC
hardware controller automatically sets the option as Read Ahead.
• 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-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-10933 (BITS240247): Storage Management does not display the Device name on a system where there more than 300 virtual
disks.
• 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.
• On systems running the Windows operating system, the NVMe specification version for Samsung PM1725 NVMe HDD is displayed as
“NVMe 1.0”
• BITS266788: On systems running the ESXi 5.5 U3 OS, RAID 0 volumes are not displayed if Auto Configure RAID0 operation is
performed on Storage Management. After you perform the Auto Configure RAID0 operation if you try to create a virtual disk using the
same physical disk without restarting the server, Storage Management displays an error message. Workaround: To resolve this issue,
you must restart the server after using the Auto Configure RAID0 operation to ensure that all the physical disks in Ready state are
created with RAID 0 volumes.
• BITS268181: When a user creates a virtual disk using the GUI, physical disks are not listed under Dedicated Hot spare (DHS). So, the
user will not be able to assign DHS while creating a virtual disk.
Workaround: After creating the virtual disk, the user can assign DHS using the Assign/Unassign Dedicated Hot spare virtual disk
operation.
• 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.
• BITS271311: If you create RAID 50 or 60 configuration with 22 or 26 physical disks using the CLI, the operation is unsuccessful. This
issue is observed on all the operating systems and is limited to only RAID 50 or 60 configuration with 22 or 26 physical disks.
Workaround: To resolve this issue, you can create RAID 50 or 60 configuration using the OMSS GUI.
