Table 35. Known VMware Issues in Storage Manager 2019 R1

Issue Description

DSM-44104 Frequently migrating virtual machines from one vVol datastore to another vVol datastore might result

in orphaned volumes.

Workaround: None

DSM-31875 The VMware host setup is incorrectly configuring the iSCSI HBA Login Timeout as 60 seconds.

Workaround: See VMware best practices documentation.

DSM-16665 After upgrading an ESXi host from version 5.5 to 6.0, Dell Storage Manager does not properly reflect

the host and its attributes as being ESXi 6 capable, in particular the recognition of the protocol

endpoint.

Workaround: Remove the server, and then add it back to Dell Storage Manager.

DSM-16656 If you select the Auto Manage Virtual Machines On Storage Centers option during the initial Dell

Storage Manager registration of a vCenter server, all the discovered ESXi hosts along with their VMs

are rendered within the Servers tree of the Storage panel. If any of these VMs are later deleted from

vCenter, they remain in the Dell Storage Manager view.

Workaround: To remove these deleted VMs from Dell Storage Manager, right-click the VM and then

delete it.

DSM-16248 On rare occasions, selecting Update information in the Dell Storage Manager Server view results in

the error java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server.

Workaround: Despite the vCenter appearing to be online an able to accept connections, the vCenter

must be restarted to reestablish proper connectivity between Dell Storage Manager and vCenter.

DSM-15879 The Host Setup wizard for VMware does not allow you to select an HBA on an ESXi host that

contains adapters that are not VMware software iSCSI adapters. When establishing an integrated

environment with Dell Storage Manager and VMware, various options are available for you to import

the VMware known inventory into Dell Storage Manager for enhanced management benefits. You can

choose to add hosts individually, or by creating and registering from a vCenter server.

Workaround: Although the option exists in the Storage tab to create from vCenter server, the

preferred and more reliable method is to use the Dell Storage Manager Server tab. Select the Server

folder and then Register Server > Add VMware vCenter Server. Then, select Auto Manage Storage

Centers to populate the Storage Center.

DSM-15803 On rare occasions, when a vVol VM is migrated from one vVol datastore to another, a config or data

vVol might become orphaned on the original datastore. This vVol counts against the total vVol scale,

and takes up unnecessary space.

Workaround: Contact technical support to handle the removal of the VM.

DSM-15302 If you attempt to delete a datastore which is populated (not empty) using Dell Storage Manager, an

error results. A false indicator of connectivity is represented by a red X on the vCenter server.

Workaround: Click the Update Information button in the top-level menu.

DSM-15000 A vVol VM snapshot with quiesce guest file-system option fails.
