Limitations
Configuring Insight Dynamics with a remote Microsoft SQL Server database
Because Windows Single Sign On is used by Insight Dynamics to connect to the SQL Server
database, the credentials associated with the user account executing a command or service are
used to connect to the remote database. Therefore, user accounts used to execute Insight Dynamics
software that accesses the database must satisfy the following conditions:
• The user credentials specified for the CMS access and database access during the installation
should be the same, and be trusted domain credentials available to both the CMS and
database systems.
• The user credentials specified during the installation for the database access should have
access permissions to the database.
If you run a CLI command as a user that is not a domain user or does not have database access
permission on the remote database, and the CLI command requires database access, the command
will fail.
Data store names cannot contain special characters
Data store names are limited to ASCII characters only. Special characters, such as () @ # $ % ^
& and *, are not allowed.
Major issues
Unable to get detailed disk information on Microsoft Hyper-V VM host with a QLogic HBA
Because of an issue with the QLogic HBA driver, detailed disk information is unavailable for
disks visible to the QLogic HBA card to manage virtual machines on the VM host.
Without this driver, you cannot select SAN disks as storage when creating a virtual machine
logical server. This prevents you from moving the virtual machine within a Microsoft Hyper-V
cluster.
Suggested action Update the Windows driver of the QLogic HBA to 9.1.8.25 or higher.
To locate and download the driver, perform the following steps.
1. Go to http://www.hp.com and click Support & Drivers at the top of the screen.
2. Select “Download drivers and software (and firmware)”.
3. Enter the product number for your product (for example, AE312A is the product number
for HP StorageWorks FC1242SR 4 Gb PCIe HBA).
4. Select the operating system you are running.
5. Download the “Storport Driver Component for QLogic FC HBAs and QLogic-based FC
Mezzanine HBAs” (9.1.8.25 or higher).
