If Host Data Collector is upgraded without removing it first, remove Host Data Collector according to
the previous procedure, and then install Host Data Collector again.
Executing tasks
If an operation (such as the user is locked, the user's permissions are changed, or the user is deleted)
is performed to the user who registers a task, the task execution is not cancelled. Likewise, even if the
user group to which the user belongs or authorized resource groups are changed, the task execution
is still not cancelled. Check the status of all tasks, and then cancel the task manually. If the task is not
cancelled, the task might not execute.
Setting and using storage resource access control
If any of the following operations are performed, and then other Device Manager operations are
performed, the windows might appear incorrectly or a KAIC15001-E error might occur. If this occurs,
restart the Device Manager server.
• Storage resource access control is simultaneously specified for multiple users.
• When resource group settings and configuration changes are performed at the same time for the
same resource from the Device Manager CLI, Tiered Storage Manager, or Replication Manger.
• The operation to set storage resource access control for storage resources are not performed
successfully.
Large-scale storage system operations
When the GUI or CLI is used to add, refresh, edit, or remove storage systems, consider the following
conditions:
• Make sure that the total number of LDEVs of the storage systems where the operations are in
progress at the same time does not exceed 128,000.
• If operations are consecutively executed, wait for one or more minutes after the execution of the
previous operation has been finished, and then execute the next operation.
When Replication Manager is used and copy group information is viewed
From the Pair Configurations view in Replication Manager, the value for the number of viewable copy
pairs appearing in the Visible/Total column in the Copy Group Summary is sometimes different from
the actual number of copy pairs appearing in the Pairs tab.
The total number of copy pairs appearing in the Pairs tab is the actual number of viewable copy pairs.
This behavior occurs when all of the following conditions are met:
• No Replication Manager license is registered, and Replication Manager is started from Device
Manager.
• From the Pair Configurations view (accessible via Explorer→Resources→Pair Configurations), the
Copy Pair Summary is viewed (accessible by selecting Pair Configurations→Pair Management
Servers→Config Files→Copy Groups).
• Copy pairs that cannot be viewed are in the copy group selected in the previous condition.
Allocate Smart Tiers Software volumes
To allocate Smart Tiers Software volumes that have been allocated to hosts, perform either of the
following operations:
• Allocate volumes from the search result window
• Allocate volumes from the logical group window
