Limitations
Known Limitations and Workarounds for Storage Management Service
With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management
Service Advanced Create VDisk Wizard may occasionally result in text overflowing to the
bottom of the side-by-side blue text boxes.
View slot occupancy report shows 4 HDD slots on backplanes with just two HDD slots for
any server.
Physical disk clear operation is not available on PERC 8 family of controllers.
Physical disk properties such as Manufacture day, Manufacture week, and Manufacture
year are available for SAS drives only.
Creating many sliced span virtual disks using the spun-down drives through the
command line or GUI result may be delayed.
Workaround: After creating one sliced span virtual disk, wait for some time to create the
next sliced span virtual disk.
In ESX4 Classic,’ deprecated SCSI ioctl' message is displayed on the console.
Description: In VMware ESX 4.0 Classic system, the following warning message(s) is
displayed on the console: Program dsm_sa_datamgrd is using the deprecated SCSI ioctl,
Please convert it to SG_IO.” This is a kernel warning message displayed when storage
operations are in progress. This is only a deprecation warning and not an indication of a
failing operation.
Workaround: Reduce the kernel logging level. By default, VMware ESX kernel logging level
is set to ‘6’ to print all the kernel messages with severity higher than ‘information.’ Reduce
it to ‘4’, so that messages with severity, ‘error,’ and above get printed to the console.
To do this, execute the following command as a ‘root’ user:/proc/sys/kernel/printk.
A Security Key Identifier can contain numerals, lowercase alphabets, uppercase alphabets,
non-alphanumeric characters (except space), or a combination of any of these.
NOTE: If you have used the special characters ”/” (forward slash) or “ ‘ ” (single quote) in
the Security Key Identifier, they are displayed as_” (underscore) on the Change Security
Key page and Import Secured Foreign Configurations page. This is applicable only to the
Security Key Identifier and not to the Passphrase.
If Storage Management displays a path failure message for a Logical Connector after a
reboot, use the "Clear Redundant Path View", provided in the "Change Controller
Properties" controller task, and restart the system.
NOTE: Use this command only if you have intentionally removed the multipath connection while rebooting
the system.
In the VMware ESX 4.x and ESX 5.x environment, when you create a virtual disk using
Storage Management, you may see an error message "The task failed to complete: The
create virtual disk task was successful but the operating system may not be aware of the
new virtual disk." However, the virtual disk is available for all operations on rebooting the
system.
Patrol Read is not supported on SSD media. The Patrol Read feature fails for any controller
that has SSD media on a virtual disk.
