• Setting a comment on an ISP volume
If you create a new ISP volume by right-clicking on a user template and selecting the New
Volume menu item, a comment that you specify to the Create Volume Dialog is not set
on the volume. To specify a comment for the newly created volume, select the volume,
choose Properties from the pop-up menu, enter a comment in the Comment field, and then
click OK. [i137098]
• Administering a cache volume created on an ISP volume
It may not be possible to use the VEA GUI to add or remove mirrors to or from a cache

graphical interface.
Workaround: Stop and restart the VEA server. [i137625]

Workaround: Allow access to the local X server by using the following command:
# xhost + [hostname]
