Open Issues and Resolutions Fixed Issues/def Issue 1(Lasso-527) Description In Lasso version 3.9.1, when any Fibre Channel Switch is selected from the "Type of Fibre Channel Switch" List and IP/Login credentials are provided for a different Ethernet switch, Lasso successfully validates and collects data for the selected switch but uses an incorrect script to collect the correct command strings for Cisco Switch. Resolution Provide switch credentials for the selected switch type and run the collection.
Resolution Use the full screen mode or increase the resolution. Issue 6 Description Lasso's "auto-discover" feature works only for EMC CLARiiON arrays and not for hosts attached to Celerra, EqualLogic, and PowerVault MD Arrays. Resolution For those arrays, enter the name or IP address of each attached host. Issue 7 Description spcollect command is not supported on EMC Arrays having FLARE less than R13. Resolution Run the command "getall". NOTE: This command provides less information.
Issue 11 (Lasso- 228) Description You can continue the collection without validating the hosts discovered by CLARiiON. Resolution First revalidate the hosts discovered by the CLARiiON array and then proceed with the collection. Issue 12 (Lasso-277) Description For CLARiiON array, fabrics information is not parsed in output HTML report. Resolution Refer to raw data collection for fabrics information.
LASSO-552: Lasso should provide appropriate error message, when command fails on M1000e Enclosure. LASSO-555: For Windows host, the subnets included data is missing in the HTML report. LASSO-558: Lasso does not collect vm-support logs for normal user from EqualLogic attached VMware host.
