Open Vendor Issues
The following issues are open vendor issues:
Issue Description
DSM-15341 The Virtual Appliance CLI menu in the VMware Console appears in English for a Virtual Appliance
deployed for Japanese or Chinese languages.
Workaround: Access the Virtual Appliance CLI using SSH.
DSM-15000 A VVol VM snapshot with quiesce guest le-system option fails.
Workaround: Install the VMware Tools without the VSS feature. For more information, see VMware
Knowledge Base article number 2069952.
DSM-14997 When using sDRS with VVols, vCenter incorrectly recommends migrating the VM when both VVols are
on the same Storage Center.
Workaround: Review the recommendations from vCenter before taking any actions.
DSM-12732 It is possible to create a storage container, and a subsequent VVol datastore using it, of a logical size
that exceeds the physical capacity of the storage array. The capacity values (in the vCenter user
interface) for an oversubscribing container reect the actual free or total physical capacity values of
the array instead of the logical storage container values.
Workaround: None
DSM-11417 When high availability (HA) is congured between two hosts, VVols are migrated from the active host
to the standby host when management network access to the active host is lost. This situation is
similar to VMFS, and is the expected behavior. However, if only the data network goes down, VMFS
datastores migrate to the standby host, but VVols do not fail over. VMCP currently is not supported
with VVols.
Workaround: No workarounds are available when the data network goes down, but the management
network stays up. However, if the management network to the active host goes down, failover is
triggered, regardless of the state of the data network .
