Release Notes

same PCIe backplane on PowerEdge R920 servers. The NVMe devices connected to dierent PCIe backplanes are displayed correctly
under Storage > PCIe-SSD Subsystem > PCIe-SSD Extender > Enclosure.
• BITS146054: The enclosure automatically sets the critical and default warning thresholds. The user cannot set or reset any warning
threshold to any temperature probe through the Storage Management GUI or CLI.
• On a PowerEdge server with maximum conguration of 8 populated enclosures connected to the PERC hardware controller, the user
can experience a delay in response. When Server Administrator storage commands such as Create Virtual Disk or Start check
consistency are run, the delay in response can range from 10 — 30 minutes.
• BITS161852: The limitation is observed when two enclosures are connected to two ports of PERC H830 controller. The limitation is not
observed when the enclosures are connected in a daisy-chain conguration. In the Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard screen,
enclosures and physical disks are listed together. The user must select only the physical disks and not the enclosures when creating a
virtual disk using the Advanced Wizard option.
• BITS140465: When the user tries to create another partial virtual disk of any RAID level, on an existing, but degraded disk group,
Storage Management does not allow the user to perform this action. This limitation occurs because Storage Management does not
support this functionality. However, this limitation is only observed on certain PERC 9 family of hardware controllers (PERC H330,
H830, and H730).
Workaround: The user can create a partial virtual disk during system restart using the CTRL+R conguration utility.
• JIT-10452 (BITS236815): Occasionally, the virtual disk creation process on PERC 9 hardware controllers may fail on GUI and CLI.
Workaround: Restart the server to resolve this issue.
• JIT-8321 (BITS220411): Unable to create Partial Secure virtual disk using the GUI when all the available SEDs are selected. This
operation will work if any other physical disk, which is not a part of any virtual disk, is connected.
• JIT-11205 (BITS242664): When a physical disk, which is a part of multiple partial virtual disks, is reinserted into the system, the status
of the partial virtual disks will be displayed on Storage Management after a short delay.
• JIT-8442 (BITS221272): Few enclosure alerts such as Enclosure power on/o and Fan removal, does not appear if the enclosure is
connected to the server using a SAS 12 Gbps HBA card. Restart Data Manager Service to update component status.
• JIT-10933 (BITS240247): Storage Management does not display the Device name on a system where there more than 300 virtual
disks.
• JIT-72304: Able to assign lesser capacity physical disk as a DHS to the virtual disk created with physical disk having higher capacity.
• JIT-16919 (BITS270856): On Precision 7910 running a client operating system (for example, Windows 8.1 x64), the PERC 9.3 driver
version is displayed as outdated and a yellow bang is shown on such hardware congurations. This issue does not cause any
functionality limitation.
• JIT-43557 : In Split Mode, Slot occupancy report displays inaccurate empty slots when there are no drives connected to the backplane.
The report shows the message empty slots interchanged between controller. This issue occurs for the server with no drives attached
to the backplane in split mode only. Slot occupancy report works ne as expected for servers with a minimum of one drive.
• JIT-52091: Cryptographic erase operation might take longer time to be visible in the dropdown list for the ISE Capable SATA SSDs after
this operation is done.
• On a PowerEdge server with maximum conguration of 2 populated enclosures connected to the PERC hardware controller, the user
can experience a delay in response.
• Unable to create Partial Secure virtual disk using the GUI when all the available SEDs are selected. This operation will work if any other
physical disk, which is not a part of any virtual disk, is connected.
• JIT-58147: In the BOSS-S1 controller properties, slot ID is displayed as "Embedded".
• If the background IO is in progress, "Prepare to Remove" operation for the NVME devices might fail.
• From 14G onwards, no Channel/Connector information will be displayed under “PCIe SSD Subsystem”. Enclosure/Backplane will be
directly connected to the “PCIe SSD Subsystem”. There is no change in the display of “NVMe Devices ( Arraydisk ) and Add-On Card
( HHHL Card )”. NVMe Devices ( Arraydisk ) will be displayed under “Enclosure / Backplane” whereas Add-On Card ( HHHL Card ) will
be displayed under “PCIe SSD Subsystem”.
• JIT-60971 : In OMSA, the empty slots in slot-occupancy report is not displayed after "prepare to remove" operation is performed on the
servers with one or more PCIe Backplane.
