Usage Constraints
The following usage constraints exist in this release of HIT/ME:
Windows Server 2012 or Later and Windows 8 or Later
This section describes usage constraints that are specific to Windows Server 2012 or later and Windows 8 or later operating
systems.
Incorrect Report of a Device as In-Use
Windows Server 2012 might incorrectly notify you that a device is in use when you try to log out from an iSCSI target. This issue
can occur even though no application is using files on any volume associated with the iSCSI target.
Consequently, the relevant task wizards in Auto-Snapshot Manager (or ASMCLI commands) such as Unmount, Logoff, or
Delete might display a Volume in use error.
If you encounter this problem and you are certain that no application is using the volume, you can select the Ignore option in
Auto-Snapshot Manager or you can set the disk offline on Windows Server 2012 by using the following procedure:
CAUTION:
Following this procedure (using either the ASM/ME GUI or the ASMCLI) when one or more files are in use
might result in data loss or corruption.
