Release Notes

Table 6. Known issues for Storage Management Service (continued)
Issue ID Functional area Description Workaround/Resolutions
Not available Configuration of
enclosures
On a PowerEdge server with maximum configuration
of 8 populated enclosures connected to the PERC
hardware controller, the user can experience a delay
in response. When Server Administrator storage
commands such as Create Virtual Disk or Start check
consistency are run, the delay in response can range
from 10–30 minutes.
Not available
BITS140465 Virtual disk of RAID 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).
The user can create a partial
virtual disk during system
restart using the CTRL+R
configuration utility.

(BITS236815)
PERC 9 Occasionally, the virtual disk creation process on PERC
9 hardware controllers may fail on GUI and CLI.
Restart the server to resolve
this issue.
BITS055347 VMware ESXi 5.1 or
later
On systems running the ESXi 5.1 or later operating
system, the “Device Name” for all virtual disks will be
displayed as Not Available. This is an expected behavior
on systems running the ESXi 5.1 or later operating
system.
Not available

(BITS220411)
Secure virtual disk 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.
11205
(BITS242664)
Status of Partial
virtual disk
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.
Not available

(BITS257114)
Enclosure alerts 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 and
HBA 355e cards.
Restart Data Manager Service
to update component status.

(BITS240247)
Displaying the
device name
Storage Management does not display the Device name
on a system where there more than 300 virtual disks.
Not available
43557 Slot occupancy
report
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.
Not available
58147 BOSS-S1 controller In the BOSS-S1 controller properties, slot ID is displayed
as "Embedded".
Not available
Not available Prepare to Remove If the background IO is in progress, "Prepare to
Remove" operation for the NVME devices might fail.
Not available
Not available Channel/Connector
information
From YX4X 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
