Known Issues Credentials Management The following are known issues with Credentials Management: • The address lookup portion of the credential database currently does not implement an acceptable operation for adding new lookup parameters after the initial creation of the database. This can cause problems with the addition of new hardware after an initial configuration is in place, as might be encountered during the expansion of system storage.

• Disconnecting the cable from the HBA to an MSA or rebooting one or both of the MSA storage controllers while hardware monitoring is active can result in unexpected hardware events. (related to defect ids ALM1049, ALM1050, ALM1060) Networking The following are known network issues: • If the blade is powered up before a Virtual connect profile can be assigned to the server the server will have only 2 Ethernet devices (eth0 and eth1).
