HP ProLiant Storage Server Release Notes (January 2006)

Storage Server release notes 21
Issue: Unformatted volumes or partitions are reported as 0 MB when displayed in the WebUI
Description On a newly created partition or dynamic volume, if the user does not format the
partition or volume, the Disks page of the WebUI displays the partition or volume
as 0 MB, even though Logical Disk Manager reports the volume to be the correct
size.
Workaround Format the volume or partition, and then refresh the WebUI.
Issue: Format fails on disks with no volume mount point or drive letter
Description On a newly created partition or dynamic volume, if you do not mount or assign a
drive letter to the partition or volume and then attempt to format the disk, the
format fails.
Workaround The volume or partition must have either a drive letter or mount point assigned.
Right-click the volume and select Change drive letter or paths. After assigning a
drive letter or mount point, the disk can be formatted. After the format is
complete, the path or drive letter may be removed.
If you choose an existing volume and click Format on the Manage Volumes
page, enter a new Volume label, and then click OK, the format may not take
effect. Verify that there are no applications accessing and locking files and
folders within the drive before formatting the drive.
Issue: Can create a VSS snapshot on VSS disabled volume
Description It is possible to create a VSS snapshot on a disabled volume.
This problem is the result of confusion over the meaning of the term disabled. The
intent of disabling a volume is to clear all settings, not to prevent shadow copies
from being created.
Workaround When shadow copies are disabled on a volume, all existing shadow copies on
the volume are deleted as well as the schedule for making new shadow copies.
To disable shadow copies on a volume:
1. On the primary navigation bar, click Disks.
2. Click the Shadow Copies tab.
3. On the Manage Shadow Copies page, select one or more volumes on which
to disable shadow copies.
4. In the Tasks list, click Disable. The Disable Shadow Copies page identifies the
volume for which shadow copies will be disabled.
5. Click OK to delete all existing shadow copies and settings for the volume.
CAUTION: When the Shadow Copies service is disabled, all shadow copies on
the selected volumes are deleted. After being deleted, shadow copies cannot be
restored.
Issue: Previously created group overwritten with no warning
Description Open the WebUI and click the Shares tab. Select File screening > Groups >
New. It is possible to create a group having the same name as an existing
group. In this situation, the WebUI overwrites the previously created group
without informing you that a group with the specified name already exists.
Workaround Make sure to specify a unique name for each file screening group.
