Release Notes
Issue Description
Workaround: Contact Dell Technical Support to handle the removal of the VM.
DSM-15302 If you attempt to delete a datastore which is populated (not empty) using Dell Storage Manager,
an error results. A false indicator of connectivity is represented by a red X on the vCenter server.
Workaround: Click the Update Information button in the top-level menu.
DSM-14891 A fast clone VM shows history with the VM from which it was created. Hence the data VVols of
this clone VM inherit the settings of the data VVols of the original VM. This shared history also
has the following consequences:
• Changing a storage container’s Data Reduction proles might cause future fast cloned VMs to
be created with mismatched Data Reduction proles for the cong and data VVols.
• If a user applies a VM Storage Policy to the original VM, the same changes apply to the data
VVols of the fast clone VM and conversely.
Workaround: None.
DSM-14806 Migrate or Clone operations on virtual machines with snapshots might fail if not enough space is
available in the VVol datastore hosting the VM. The temporary space overhead required by these
operations depends on the size of the individual disks and the number of snapshots of the VM.
Workaround:
1. Check if the VVol datastore (storage container) is nearing capacity.
2. Increase the size of the VVol datastore to suciently accommodate the overhead and then
retry the operation.
DSM-14570 If you attempt to register the VASA Provider with a DSM user with Reporter privilege, it fails as
expected. However, an incorrect error message Username or password is incorrect is
reported. The correct error should be user with Reporter privilege is not
allowed to register VASA provider.
Workaround: Ignore the error message, and register VASA Provider with a DSM user with
Administrator privilege.
DSM-14301 The Datastore Connectivity tab in the Dell Storage Manager Data Collector user interface is
blank when viewing a datastore on a vCenter 6.0 server or an ESXi 6.0 host.
Workaround: Use the vCenter or ESXi 6.0 client to view connection information.
DSM-14149 If you try to apply a new VM Storage Policy while Storage vMotion of a VM is in progress, the
compliance status of the VM goes to Out of Date.
Workaround: Reapply the new storage policy after Storage vMotion has completed.
DSM-13801 If you have any applications or folders open during the Dell Storage Manager update process, you
might not be able to start the Dell Storage Manager Data Collector. It could fail with the error
Error setting up JBoss: deleting joboss directory. The folders mentioned in
this directory could be VASA logs folder, server logs folder, and the msa Service folder. Dell
recommends that you close all applications and folders before proceeding with the update.
Workaround:
1. In Windows Explorer, select Control Panel → Programs and Features.
2. Select the Storage Manager Data Collector, then click Change.
In the Change window, you can choose to do a repair. It reinstalls the les, including the
JBoss directory.
DSM-13316 After increasing the storage container size in Dell Storage Manager, the vCenter user interface
shows the datastore with the new size. However, it still displays an error for insucient space
when it tries to create a VM.
Workaround: Unmount and then remount the datastore.
