• Comments in Japanese on a Snapshot Volume Are Not Displayed Correctly
Problem
Comments that are entered in the Japanese character set in the Snapshot Options dialog of
the Create Instant Snapshot screen of the VEA GUI are not saved or displayed correctly.
Workaround

Miscellaneous Issues
Following miscellaneous issues are identified:
• Auto-import of Disk Groups Post Disk Failure
Problem
If a disk fails when a disk group is being imported and the disk is brought back to life after
the group has been deported, the disk group is auto-imported the next time the system
boots. This deviates from the normal rule that only disk groups that are imported at the time
of a crash must be auto-imported during system boot.
