Release Notes

User Interface
Launching Group Manager as an Application Generates Exception
If you launch Group Manager as an application, when you click Run, the following error might display: Error. Click here
for details. When you click for details, the error Illegal Argument Exception is displayed. This error can be
ignored, because Group Manager will still successfully launch as an application. Click Ignore to continue.
Group Manager GUI and CLI Provide Different Options When Creating Thin Clones
When you create a thin clone, the default for the Group Manager CLI is different from the default for the GUI. The CLI puts the
clone of the template into the same folder as the template. The GUI defaults to not putting the clone into any folder, but allows
you to check a box and select a folder.
Rear View Power Supply Status Reported Incorrectly
Group Manager does not show the latest information on rearview power supply status. If you switch to the front view, and then
back to the rear view, the correct status will display.
GUI Logout Event Does Not Ooccur in MacOS Environments With Safari Browser Only
When using a macOS with the Safari browser only, the GUI logout event is not generated when the logout operation is
performed.
Using the GUI With Tabbed Web Browsers
You can run multiple instances of the Group Manager GUI in separate tabs. When running multiple GUI instances, Dell
recommends that you launch the GUI instances one at a time to avoid scenarios in which multiple login dialog boxes are
displayed at the same time. Otherwise, the Javamachine might become unresponsive and the browser application must be
restarted.
In Firefox, you can run only one instance of Group Manager in a browser window.
JAWS Screen Reader Issues
● JAWS Screen Reader Software Reads Coding Tags—When SyncRep is configured, a SyncActive volume is created as well
as the SyncAlternate volume. You can disconnect the SyncActive volume by selecting a volume configured for SyncRep,
Activities > SyncRep .
● Attempting to disconnect the SyncActive volume opens a dialog box and the JAWS screen reader software reads the tags,
such as P left brace padding..., before finishing with the contents of the dialog box.
● JAWS Screen Reader Does Not Read the Validation Column in the Replica Set Placement Tab—The Manage Delegated
Space – Replica Set placement tab contains a Validate Primary Pool Names button. When this button is activated, it tries
to validate the pool names specified in the table with those on the partner. The Validation column of the table is updated to
reflect the status of each user-supplied pool. At this time, JAWS does not read this column.
● JAWS Reads HTML Tags for All Columns in Virtual Machines and Virtual Disk Tables—In VMware virtual machines, the
HTML tags are read for all the columns in the Virtual machines and Virtual disk tables.
Error Displays When You Run Group Parameters
If you log in to the CLI as the pool administrator, and run the grpparams vss-vds access-policy show or grpparams vss-vds
access- policy-group show command, the following error is displayed: Error: Too many parameters.
Virtual Volumes
Do Not Modify or Delete ACLs Associated to the PE
Using the CLI, users can inadvertently eliminate access to the protocol endpoint (PE), and impact their intended VVol access
rules. Dell has placed many restrictions on CLI operations to prevent inadvertent misconfigurations, although they might still
occur. For this reason, Dell requires the use of VSM (Virtual Storage Manager) for the creation or manipulation of ACL rules for
protocol endpoints (associated with VVols).
If an access rule is inadvertently removed using the CLI, it will become immediately obvious by inspecting the specific PS group
being managed by VSM and navigating to the Manage > Protocol Endpoint screen. Any ESX host without access to the PE
will be labeled with a red exclamation point (!). You can press the allow button to allow access again for this host or any other
chosen hosts.
Group Manager Does Not Display Virtual Machine Description Information
The Virtual Machine description column in Group Manager displays as empty. The value can be retrieved from the vCenter UI by
accessing the Summary field under the Notes tab.
